Captivea's Expert Guidance for a Successful ERP Project: Step-by-Step Approach
What is an ERP project?
An ERP project brings together all the actions aimed at putting into production the management software of the company's choice to ensure the management and coordination of its activities. It is therefore a real project management process that aims to deploy an ERP software, which can be different according to the needs of a company. It is therefore necessary to find the appropriate software that can meet the expectations and specific needs of a company. This is a very important project because ERP software is a key element in the management of a company, whatever its size or sector. But it is also a long-term project because a company keeps an ERP software for 8 to 10 years on average. It is therefore necessary to take particular care in the good management of this project which can meet many needs of a company.
What are the steps to follow ?
Before deploying the software
1. Analysis
Get advice and analysis from one of our ERP experts for your business, so that together we can define your company's precise needs.
2. Choice of ERP software/Choice of applications to use
A major step because the choice of the ERP software, but also of the applications to use in this software (according to the sector, the needs, ...), is of course essential in the ERP project. Select the ERP software that meets your needs.
3. Planning
To set up the software in the best possible way, it is necessary to define the planning of the deployment. Thus, a provisional schedule will be established. It’s during this step that the ROI (return on investment) will be calculated to be the best possible.
