ERP - a Strategic Enterprise Decision
Providing interoperability of systems

2. Implementation - can’t be outsourced!
Core cadre of key process owners
Minimum dependence on third party providers
Examine existing processes
Upgrade to best practices BEFORE implementing ERP

ERP Issues (continued)
Akin to a major system qualification
Often short changed since it occurs late in implementation
Minimum of 60 days after going live
Requires contingency plan for addressing by deliverables
7. Discipline - No cheating allowed!
Enterprise management must insist all data/reports come
Significant cultural change
Personnel involved need extensive training
At least 10% of implementation budget

9. Implementation Cycle Time
Critical to assign outstanding program managers and
Up to 100 people at one time
Cycle times of 15 months can be achieved
10.Cost -- why are ERP systems so expensive?!!!
ERP rolls all or most legacy systems, their licensing costs,
maintenance costs, etc. into one systems
ROI can be VERY SIGNIFICANT!

null ERP systems are being implemented in companies of all
null ERP is generally viewed as a business solution, not an IT
null Results on cost reduction for IT operations are mixed
null A single ERP system does not provide end-to-end
solution - most companies use systems for specialized

null ERP simplifies and standardizes systems across the firm
null ERP systems are very stable, able to handle large
