ERP system as a long-time business solution

As a comprehensive, flexible and industry-specific ERP system provider, eresource, satisfies all its clients' need for quick access to reliable, one-source information for continued business growth. eresource, a leader in web-based ERP solution for many industrial verticals has recently launched its SAAS model ERP solution focusing the small and medium sized companies in India and abroad.

Web-based eresource ERP system made business process easy for companies. The legacy system they were depend on their day to day work process getting outdated as the demanded regular customization and even after the customization the system lacked integrated functionality.

The data available to support critical business decisions also lacked quality and as a result every sections were forced to develop their own database on spreadsheets and workarounds. Additionally, companies having different ERP system deployed in their other location further contributed to the islands of information and multiple data entry points.

Companies also realized that application support and customization was not adequate enough for an efficient business process and many companies after implementing eresource ERP started feeling the impact with streamlined and effective working method of the system.

It makes extremely happy when we hear about the success stories of our customers that are experiencing with the implementation of our system in their companies. It makes us more proud when we hear that our customers are recommending eresource ERP to new clients, which is highly unusual in today's competitive business world.

Success of eresource ERP starts from the time of its implementation. As you know the catch word of ERP implementation is speed. It was our New Year resolution that all our future implementation will be completed just in 90 days. However, we ourselves surprised that our first implementation of the New Year has been completed in a record-breaking 40-day time span.

The mission was started when the company, the Byteware Technologies in Dubai has planned to implement an effective ERP system sometime in February 2011. Though the company has evaluated many ERP products, they could not find a suitable one that will match with their requirement. It was during the month of October 2011 that the company happened to established the rapport with us, eresource Infotech, and demanded a quick go and implementation process. The order was finally placed by the company in the month of November 2011 and wanted to see the project go live by January 2012.

The project covered end to end business functions, i.e. from Sales, Procurement, Material Management, Distribution, Warehouse Management, Project Sales and Finance. Yes, of course, the project went live on January 8, 2012, as demanded by the company. It was really a record-breaking achievement.

It is normal to encounter with some technical setbacks at the implementation time. But we have surprised this time there were hardly anything that took much time to resolve. The credit must be given where it is due. Hats off to our implementation team for completing the mission in a very successful way. All our current and future implementations are focusing on the same line of working method and we can promise all our clients that we deliver what you demand that too on time.

Mistakes committed during implementation of an ERP system

As we have said it earlier, all ERP implementations cannot be 100 per cent successful and the reasons for this are various. Though this may be the ground reality, the failure percentages are getting reduced to the lowest, which is surely an encouraging development.

Poor planning is the main cause of ERP implementation failure. The scope, size, complexity and change required for a successful ERP implementation requires support from all corners of an organization. Without major decision makers involved from the beginning, critical steps and activities can be easily overlooked.

Change management is the second reason for any ERP implementation failure. Changing the corporate culture, business processes and employee training can be a long-term, uphill climb. Understanding change management and training are essential components to a successful ERP implementation. Employee training should begin before implementation, educating all employees of the benefits of using this new tool; making their jobs easier and the organization more efficient as a whole.

Poor selection of wrong ERP tool is another reason. Some of the biggest ERP implementation failures occur due a mismatch between the needs, processes and structure of your organization with the implemented software. This can create significant problems such as loss of productivity and time along with many of the new system's benefits. Therefore it is very important to select the right ERP system for your business to avoid any failure from that quarter.

Thoroughly understanding the complexity of an ERP implement would contribute to the success of its implementation. Some companies, on the process of cost-saving exercises, will run over budget on their ERP project by requiring their IT department to work overtime to complete the implementation. However, with inadequate skills and directives from the contracted software provider this exercise of the IT department will turn out to be disaster which would create only more knots in your ERP implementation than make any progress.

It is important consider your ERP system as a complex project. Considering the ERP system as a simple IT project can be the most costly mistake one can make. Without proper input company-wide, your ERP system will not be engineered and aligned to work with the business processes and needs of your employees.
