Workshop on ERP to guide how to run a successful business

July 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Empowering decision-makers with ERP technology concepts

WE have, time and again emphasized the importance of having ERP system to run businesses in successful way in today's competitive economic market. As there are number of big and small vendors in the Indian ERP market, selection of a proper system that suits your business needs are very important. To place the matter straight forward, what the decision makers must understand is having an ERP system just can't help your business process. What is important is which system you have implemented.

A rightfully conducted ERP workshop could provide you the guidelines of what your requirements and expectations should be, including hands-on experience with the most successful ERP solutions available in India today.

ERP workshop can also empower CEOs, COOs, CFOs, accountants, controllers, business owners and key decision-makers with ERP technology concepts.

CRM or Customer Relationship Management, the backbone of any business has been integrated as an important module in the ERP system. Sales and marketing teams from companies can benefit from attending the workshop that will help them gain knowledge in marketing plans. The knowledge gained through from workshop can put into practice by the sales or marketing team with the approach to the customers that could help improve your revenue and market share growth and minimize expenses - all of which leads to higher profitability. The workshop will also debate on all areas of an ERP system, its advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to benefits of ERP there are many arenas which are unknown to many. ERP expects boundary-less flat organization structure where every employee is a decision maker and not a mere follower. Secondly, the decision-making must be scientific than based on 'gut feel'. Thirdly, ERP assumes that the user has an in-depth knowledge of the process he is associated with. He has to work in a team as a key resource element. The objective of the user is to pass maximum value to the customer than to create his own convenience. The user must be analytical in his thinking and be able to use information generated through data iterations for more effective and informed decisions.

ERP system will work successfully if the users are training to handle the system to the optimum usage. Proper training makes the users fully equipped with handling of the system independently and this will contribute the success of all the business operations.

The solution provider must pay attention while providing training to the user in the right manner. To become a good user, one has to get trained and trained well, and later self trained. But what is the disappointing factor is most of the ERP training in India is more of software training rather than going deeply into the functionality and technicality of the ERP system. Normally the user is shown various screens of the ERP system and taught how to enter what he was doing previously.

The trainer must explain to the user why he should enter there, what are the repercussions of his entries in other modules, how to use the best out of multiple settings, why a particular setting is made like that, etc. In fact, the reality that every entry is the financial entry and ultimately gets posted into General Ledger and posted in turn into Profit & Loss Account or Balance Sheet is never realized by the user during training or even after implementation. This feel of responsibility is extremely essential for the user to become a mature ERP user.

To enhance the interest of users Indian companies must make a point of user training, focusing on ERP functionalities and not merely on tools for ERP. Ideally, the training session should be designed to cater to individual needs and hence carefully planned. ERP workshop will have a separate session to discuss and elaborate the training method of ERP extensively.

Looking at the way it is getting organized, the workshop on ERP on July 31, 2011 at Wagle Estate in Thane, will be very informative and useful event for the people who are connected with IT world. We are also eagerly looking forward to that event.
