6 difficulties in implementing ERP
Currently ERP is the most effective management software applied in many businesses. Companies of all sizes are investing in ERP systems to help improve processes and move to a paperless environment. However, ERP implementation is not always simple, there are many challenges because each organization is different and comes with its own needs, expectations and processes. Experiences from the process of implementing ERP system from many projects. Au Viet Soft has drawn difficulties when implementing ERP.
1. Not selected the right ERP system
Currently there are quite a number of ERP providers on the market with attractive ads, so businesses may have trouble choosing which ERP system to invest or which is best for their business. career.
The first step is to thoroughly understand the needs and challenges of the business and then make this requirement for ERP vendors to meet. Take the time to understand the ERP vendor and the ability to meet the functions that help achieve your business goals. The chosen ERP provider should have experience in your industry, have a reputation in the industry and have many successful deployment cases. Otherwise, your ERP system may fail. It is important to make sure you gather enough information about your general requirements and have open conversations with potential suppliers, so you can find the right software to meet your needs. Your business and partners are suitable to assist you in your ERP journey.
2. The lack of consensus of ERP implementation personnel
It is imperative that the top leaders must fully commit to implementing ERP determined to agree to implement, taking the time to plan implementation. Leaders and employees agree on the point of view when businesses decide to apply ERP. Convincing people in the company to use software is a big challenge. Some employees may refuse to use ERP software because they think it is not as effective as what they are using or they do not want to innovate. Another difficulty when leaders and employees disagree is that: the rights of some individuals and departments conflict with the objectives of the project, leading to them not enthusiastically working or hindering implementing the project. Thus, the important thing here is: business executives and all employees need to have a common viewpoint to be able to use ERP software most effectively and successfully.
3. Human resources have not been trained in the system
ERP systems will be just as good when users understand the system, so one of the main challenges your business will face is ensuring that its personnel are well trained in the system. Successful deployment of your ERP system will be much more feasible if your employees are fully trained and ensure they are motivated to use the system.
4. Tested on all functions
Even if the ERP system meets all business requirements and expectations, one of the potential drawbacks is the lack of testing. It is imperative to have a sufficient number of tests done during ERP deployment to ensure it will be implemented when deployed
5. Lack of budget is difficult when implementing ERP
In the long term, ERP systems can help businesses increase efficiency and productivity, but poor implementation can have the opposite effect, which is not always taken into account. When budgeting, you must take into account the financial costs and the time to do the work of the ERP project team members. It is essential that people in the company need to be responsible for the project, communicate and work closely with the ERP vendor to achieve the best results.
Besides, investment in infrastructure is necessary. ERP application modules will require good processing speed and full storage. No proper budget allocation for infrastructure will lead to reduced application speed and other software problems.
6. Lack of exchange between businesses and implementers
In the process of ERP implementation, there will be many problems, businesses also have changes, and these need to be properly and timely informed to each other to ensure both parties know them. What has been, is, and will do. Because if the ERP vendor does not really understand what the customer needs, it will lead to wrong advice for the customer, as well as lead to the design of the ERP configuration is not suitable for the business model. It is also possible that business leaders do not fully trust the supplier, do not want to disclose “business secrets”, leading to inadequate information about the business model of the business. This also causes incomplete ERP systems and is fully compatible with the needs of businesses. Therefore, business leaders should put absolute trust in the ERP solution provider that they have chosen.
