Your guide to choosing and implementing ERP (and similar) systems 25/07/2006
 
Nobody looks forward to a serious business IT project, and that applies whether you're installing a new ERP system (or similar), or `simply' upgrading or changing an existing one. It's hard work. It comes on top of the already demanding day job. Yet the success of your company depends upon it. And not just now but for many years to come. What's more, everyone has heard a horror story or two from someone. No surprise then that many are cynical as well as daunted.
But it doesn't have to be like that. Times, systems, functionality and, most important, methodologies and support, have all moved on immensely in recent years. And so has the body of understanding of hype, blind alleys and on the other hand, opportunities and best practice. So it is now perfectly possible to turn what might well once have been an unrewarding slog (likely to end in failure) into a structured project with manageable milestones and relatively quick wins for the
business along the way. Here's how to do it right, keep your workforce sane and on your side, and save serious time and money into the bargain. Do this and you'll also get as rapidly as possible to a project that will be judged a success not just
at the time but into the future and business-wide.
