You’re struggling to stay up-to-date with the latest ERP technology. What can you do to keep pace?

Participei da decis?o sobre a troca de um ERP e é um desafio muito grande decidir sobre a troca. Na ocasi?o, contratamos uma consultoria de avalia??o de op??es e o ERP que utilizavam foi avaliado com nota similar ao dos concorrentes, porem, estava politicamente desgastado e, após minha saída, decidiram pela troca. N?o acompanhei a implementa??o, mas, numa situa??o como esta, é fundamental que o projeto de substitui??o inclua ajustar os processos, mudar a cultura, engajar as equipes, para que os problemas do ERP anterior n?o se perpetue no novo!

I participated in several SAP mapping projects and SAP implementation projects, during my almost 20 years in the area.

In my experience with SAP projects, I believe that there is a need for a tool evolution plan, as the solution involves a series of improvements, but we cannot leave out the tool's evolution. New solutions, new reports and a series of improvements are delivered, but depend of the client's plan to update the system.

In my experience the rule of thumb was companies tended to change their system every 3-5 years as that’s how long it took for one or more of the following to happen: 1 - end users loss of knowledge of what the system does. Thus reminds me of a study that Microsoft did to ask users what else they wanted from Excel - most of the requests were already in the existing Excel version but end users did not know. In general users know 50% of the capability 2 - staff turnover and new staff being trained by existing staff rather than being trained properly 3 - new decision maker wants to make an impact and easiest is to change ERP The above is a bit stereotypical - however please AVOID those mistakes!

Mais importante do que estar com a mais recente tecnologia ERP, é trabalhar para otimizar a utiliza??o do que já possui e aproveitar os conceitos que carregaram para implementar melhoria contínua dos processos. Existem situa??es em que o ERP pode ser gargalo para alcan?ar os objetivos organizacionais, mas também é bem comum travar o alcance por subutiliza??o das tecnologias que já possuem.
