A Note Of Caution while implementing ERP
ERP Implementation Projects worldwide have had a mixed record in terms of successes and failures.
Even in India, some organisations who have gone in for ERP investments have not been able to leverage the full benefits of the same as planned due to various reasons.
Some ERP vendors in India have used customers here
as an educational platform to help their staff / consultants
get ERP project complete life cycle experiences before
leveraging the same for earning Dollars Overseas. No
problems, except that Indian customers may not like being
used as Guinea pigs.
At the same time, because the IT-Usage Maturity of
Indian Customer Organisations tends to be lower as
compared to Western Customers, ERP project
implementations are more challenging, leading to
possibly higher costs.
Only those companies who have successfully re-engineered their business processes with complete organisational acceptance have got benefits from their ERP investments.
An ERP Project is not just a money investment.
It needs ongoing management commitment and support at all levels to critically re-examine current processes of working and be prepared to continously strive to keep improving the same.
The ERP Path is Tough No Doubt, but can prove to be fruitful.
