QUICK AND COMPREHENSIVE STEPS TO IMPLEMENT ERP SOFTWARE

Enterprise Resource Planning software can be used to automate and simplify individual activities across a business or organization, such as accounting and procurement, project management, customer relationship management, risk management, compliance and supply chain operations. 

The main purpose of an ERP system is to increase organizational efficiency of an organization by managing and improving how company resources are utilized. Improving and/or reducing the number of resources necessary without sacrificing quality and performance are keys to effectively improving business growth and profitability. 

ERP software has the ability to collect and compare metrics across departments and provide a number of different reports based on roles or specific user preferences. The data collected makes finding and reporting on data faster and gives a complete view of business performance with complete insights on how resources are being spent. 

ERP systems are used to help businesses of all sizes overcome challenges—from small businesses to massive enterprises. Early business practices may no longer keep up with growing demand and require more efficient business tools, like ERP, to effectively manage a business’ systems and resources. 

The ERP software development life cycle includes analysis, development and implementation. Many companies competitively called these processes as spiral or waterfall method.

ANALYSIS: ERP software developers thoroughly analyze the software requirement and find quick ideas for development. This is the most important phase of the entire project. Without prior project requirement analysis, it is very difficult to develop ERP software solutions. It can be more costly or lengthen the development process than expected. Thus it will be very difficult to deliver the project within deadline.

DEVELOPMENT: After the “As is analysis”, the processes are "translated" into the standard of the selected ERP system and, if necessary, workflows and / or data quality are meaningfully optimized. Parallel to the defined work packages, the vendor begins with the installation of a test environment on the server and the implementation of the individual subsections. Data is prepared for migration, forms and interfaces are customized, software extensions are programmed, and users and roles are set up.

IMPLIMENTATION: Even after such extensive tests, experience has shown that there is still room for improvement after the go live under full load. Functional gaps or malfunctions are remedied by the vendor, only after that does the final acceptance take place.
