How to solve the contradiction between ERP software and enterprise demand differences?

      According to statistics from the China Institute of Electronic Information Industry, 67% of the factors leading to the failure of ERP projects implemented by domestic enterprises are due to improper software selection. Only by selecting a suitable ERP system can the differences between ERP software and enterprise requirements be reduced, and operators can quickly master operating standards and shorten the adaptation cycle. So how to solve the contradiction between ERP software and enterprise demand differences? Let's follow the Shuntong Network editor to take a look!
      Solving the contradiction between ERP software and enterprise needs should start from the following aspects:
      Firstly, it is important to clarify the requirements. Many enterprises, before choosing ERP software, do not understand the current problems and real needs, and do not know what kind of ERP software can adapt to their current situation and development. Therefore, before choosing an ERP system, enterprises should diagnose and calmly consider their own enterprise management, and based on a careful analysis of the current situation, clarify their own problems and needs. Xingcheng Software will arrange professional and experienced consultants to work with enterprises to sort out their needs, which can quickly help enterprises clarify their needs.
      Secondly, it is necessary to establish a selection group. As the implementation of the ERP system is a complex system engineering that involves various functional departments and management personnel at all levels of the enterprise, an ERP system selection group should be established before the selection of the ERP system. The group members should include enterprise leaders, management business backbone, computer technology backbone, and appropriate industry ERP system experts or consultants. Develop a selection plan and form a requirement specification to guide the entire selection process.
      The next step is the process of selecting ERP, which can be achieved through website browsing, product information analysis, on-site inspection of ERP system vendors, and viewing demonstrations of multiple ERP system software products. Several typical ERP software products can be identified, and it is best to have successful implementation cases in similar industry enterprises for the selected ERP software.
      If there are differences between the selected ERP software and some of the current business processes of the enterprise, which are caused by the lack of advanced and unreasonable business processes, the enterprise should modify its own business processes and organizational design to ensure that the business processes are advanced and reasonable to adapt to the previously selected ERP system.
      The improvement of business processes in enterprises is not entirely necessary for the application of ERP, but mainly due to market competition, changes in external environment, requirements for internal standardized management, and changes in management methods, which encourage enterprises to improve their business processes, thereby enhancing their overall level and competitiveness.
      In the process of ERP software process configuration, the ERP software implementation team should identify problems in the existing business processes of the enterprise and determine the goals to be achieved after process optimization. Based on the set goals and principles of process optimization, optimize existing business processes, improve enterprise business processes while meeting business and management needs, eliminate non value-added links in business processes, break down barriers between departments, enable enterprises to quickly adapt to customer demand oriented market environments, and better match optimized business processes with selected ERP software.
      In the process of improving business processes in enterprises, active participation and support from middle-level managers and business supervisors should be obtained. Opinions from employees in various positions involved in the process should be sought, explaining the shortcomings of the original process and how to design the new process to make it operable. They have accumulated rich experience in specific business practices, have a deep understanding and understanding of the problems in business processes, and can summarize some unreasonable processes and business methods. Therefore, business process improvement should fully consider the actual needs of middle-level managers, business supervisors, and process users, and obtain their active participation and support in project implementation, which is a key factor for the success of business process improvement.
      Customized modifications to ERP software are not advocated during the implementation process. Because this type of modification is relatively rushed in time, and the modified ERP system has not undergone extensive testing and practical verification. In addition, the complexity and relevance of the ERP system often lead to modifications that involve and affect multiple other modules in the system, making such modifications prone to problems. A stable ERP system version is inseparable from standardized configuration management, strict system testing, and extensive time application.
      In summary, before making customized modifications to the ERP system, it is necessary to plan and analyze to confirm whether the customized modifications to the ERP software have improved enterprise management and are conducive to smooth business processes. If it is decided to customize and modify the ERP system, it needs to be completed under certain conditions, that is, the ERP software manufacturer or secondary development partner should provide an ERP software secondary development plan, clarify the scope, time, cost, and testing methods of ERP software customization and modification. At the same time, the implementation cycle of the ERP system should be appropriately extended, the implementation budget of the ERP software should be added appropriately, and a testing plan for ERP software secondary development should be formulated.
