Strategic View of MRP ERP Implementations

Posted on March 8, 2010

A valuable look at ERP from a software implementation perspective. Includes ERP system planning, needs analysis, business objectives, developing a plan to find, select and implement ERP software, ERP key performance indicators and more.

From the Resource:
- There are clear winners and losers-some companies get considerably more value from their ERP system implementations than others.
- To achieve the full value of an ERP system, companies must focus on integrating the organization, optimizing business processes and using and analyzing system data to improve decision making.
- While some companies have made progress in realizing value from their ERP systems, most still have significant opportunities to maximize the value of their investments.
- Organizations that approach an ERP system initiative as an element of an ongoing program rather than a project with a specific endpoint, believe they are more successful.
- Better decision making is the most sought benefit and also the one most likely to have been realized from the use of an ERP system.
