The decision to implement a complex software solution that would increase the efficiency of the operations and have a major impact in consolidating your businesses on long term is a strategic decision. For a successful implementation we recommend you 10 golden rules you have to take into account.1. Supporting the top managementIf the top management is not convinced about the need of an enterprise resource management solution, you still have time to give up the implementation. Any employee must know, see, hear, feel that the implementation of this solution is a strategic decision at organization level, and that the operational efficiency translated into cost reduction and profit increase is the company’s number one target.2. Support in understanding the needsThe field of ERP software applications is extremely vast. The “standard” solutions that attract you with implementation times of a fe capsiplex w days and initial low costs are not an option at all, because they block you in the most important aspects: the flexibility to generate business as you know best and the agility to adapt your information system to market changes. Ask help from people who know every single detail of the ERP solutions with the relevant expertise in your industry, able to understand the needs of your organization and do anything to build an end-to-end solution for you.3. Commitment of the future usersYou need the commitment of all your employees who interact with the software solution. The classic approach, where the application is enforced by the management downwards will be viewed by the employees as “another application requested by the bosses that will eat up my time”. The key of a successful implementation lays in convincing the opinion leaders and those with influence about the utility of this action.
