ERP System Implementation Manager:
How to Increase Your Success Rate

Reasons for ERP Implementation Failure

Executives Who Resist Change

Implementing an ERP system inevitably brings changes to business operations, whether large or small. However, many people are averse to change itself.
If you fail to persuade such employees, the implementation of the ERP system will ultimately fail.
Even if it does not fail entirely, it is highly likely that the system will only be used in certain departments or business units.

Therefore, it is desirable for the CEO or an executive of a small or medium-sized enterprise to directly oversee the implementation.
If a staff is in charge, it is crucial that the company grants them the appropriate authority and provides continuous support and attention throughout the process.

It Is Easy to Fail If You Are Swayed by On-Premise ERP Vendors

In online forums of IT managers of SMEs gather, it is common to hear that once the contract is signed, the ERP vendor becomes dominant over the company.
the ERP vendor becomes the dominant party and the company becomes subordinate.
This is because there are many variables during development, and everything is linked to increased costs.

Therefore, it is important to clearly define your company’s requirements from the outset.
Instead of following the recommendations of ERP vendors, SMEs themselves must carefully consider why they need the system and which functions are necessary.

Implementing an ERP System with Insufficient Functionality

There are many SMEs that, while claiming to need accounting functions, purchase a simple system that can only manage bank deposit/withdrawal records,
or, while needing inventory functions, implement that can only manage inventory in/out history and later find the system unusable due to a lack of practical features.
Do not be misled by attractive advertising phrases or internet marketing;

• You must thoroughly verify and visually confirm that the ERP system includes all the functions your company requires before signing a contract, and
• You should also consider whether the ERP system can be expanded and continuously used in the future without replacement.
  • Can the system continue to be used even if business operations become more complex and the number of employees increases severalfold?
  • Is it easy to add user IDs and authorization access when multiple people use the system?
  • Although only accounting is used now, will there be no issues if inventory functions are used in the future? (The reverse also applies.)
  • If only part of the inventory function is used now, can the system be expanded to include production, A/S, quality control, and other features as you become more familiar with it?
