Any particular industry has a greater benefit from an ERP implementation

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Any company that builds a product; designs, sources keeps inventory, markets, and distributes needs an ERP system. It is difficult to pinpoint a business that doesn't need ERP.

For any business that has accounting, operations, and customer-facing applications, ERP has applicability across the board. What's going to be more subjective is the depth of the solution. That's going to be a function of what you can afford.

Even having a cash register and cheque book can be referred as an ERP, if you want. Well, yes, but most companies are going to need something that's more complex than that.

successful ERP implementation

The introduction of Information Technology, especially enterprise systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, is a common way of implementing organizational change today. Such enterprise system implementations frequently come with new software systems and business processes that substantially alter workflow and jobs.

While the annual investment of several millions of rupees in ERP systems is staggering, estimates indicate that there could be chances of failures in implemented systems and such failures have been observed even in highly successful organizations. Organizations that successfully implement ERP systems, including new software and business processes, have reported enormous benefits, such as greater efficiency and effectiveness at the individual employee and organizational levels.

One of the primary causes of failure is the inability of managers to effectively manage the change process. Managers frequently fail to consider the organizational environment and culture relying, instead, on success stories of some organizations that used a big-bang strategy, an implementation strategy in which all modules of an ERP system are implemented simultaneously and in a short period time, to manage their own change. The result can be catastrophic for firms, with consequences up to and including going out of business as a result of a failed ERP implementation.
