The secret to a successful ERP implementation
After more than 35 years implementing ERP solutions all over the world, I have seen many projects succeed or fail. Fail might be a big word, because no company, that I have worked with did not go-live at some point. The difference was:
• Was the contract hedged?
• Was the project managed ok from the customer side?
• Was the project managed ok from the partner side?
• Was the project finished on time?
• Was the project finished on budget?
• Did the customer project team stay intact during the entire implementation?
• Did the partner project team stay intact during the entire implementation process?
• Was the project scope the same during the entire implementation process?
• How was change requests handled?
All too often, one or more of these questions are answered with a big NO!
In this session, I will show examples of:
• How to set up a flexible project team
• How to set the expectations from start
• How to break the processes into manageable bites
• How to win key employees over to like the new system
• How to reuse your initial analysis to create test scripts
• How to actually make the user perform the testing
• How to celebrate a successful implementation
See you there
