Checklist to know if your existing ERP is good enough for your business
Some businesses are quick to get an ERP implemented, and benefit from it. Most, however, never seem to get it right, with the implementation going on for ever, or given up midway. They may struggle with a hybrid system that creates more problems, than they claim to solve. This is especially the case often with applications custom-built by internal teams. There’s a never-ending list of change requests, with users finding no resistance to their demands. Not an ideal scenario…
Use this checklist to find out how your existing ERP is faring
How many months has your ERP been under implementation? YES/NO
Has the ERP implementation been signed off?
Which departmental functions are now done entirely using the ERP?
What percentage of business documents are kept in paper form?
Are transactions reviewed and authorized in the ERP, or manually, outside
Does the ERP help users with workflow processes, so that they know the next action to be taken?
Can users make changes to transactions afterwards?
What percentage of daily and periodic management reports are made outside of the ERP?
What percentage of daily and periodic operations reports are made outside of the ERP?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are users with the system?
How do you, as the business owner, or CEO, or a key decision-maker rate the system on a scale of 1 to 10?
