This article introduces you to the five steps of enterprise free ERP system selection, the content is very detailed, interested partners can refer to it, I hope it can help you.

At present, there are many ERP vendors on the market. They have developed software systems for different industries for enterprises to choose from. Although there are many choices, for those enterprises that have just started the idea of informatization, the selection is still a headache. In view of the current market situation and dispute pattern of the free ERP system industry, enterprises must follow a reasonable idea when implementing free ERP system projects. Practical selection decisions.

First, analyze the needs, define the objectives and scope of implementation

Enterprise informatization construction, the most important thing is to analyze the actual situation and management status of enterprises, targeted to put forward the implementation of enterprise informatization objectives and scope. For most enterprises at present, it is more appropriate to improve basic management, plug management loopholes and strengthen the standardization of business operation by means of information technology, and ask for benefits from basic management. Enterprise informatization has gone through several stages: department informatization, business and financial operation integration, production and sales integration, process control integration and decision-making integration, which are gradual processes. When enterprises make informatization planning, they must make clear the management bottleneck problems solved by informatization, the business scope and department scope that need systematic application, and the specific informatization application requirements and objectives.

Second, learn from the same industry informatization experience

After many years of information construction, most of the domestic industries have passed the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and most of the free ERP system applications have relatively mature application cases. The planning, implementation experience, stage achievements, possible risks and necessary preventive measures of enterprise informatization construction in the same industry are valuable wealth for enterprises preparing to launch free ERP system projects, which are worth learning from. Through in-depth investigation, we can not only understand the construction of other enterprises, but also make appropriate corrections to the main problems to be solved and the predetermined goals to be achieved by the enterprise informatization. At the same time, we can also verify the performance construction experience of the main suppliers in the same industry as one of the important basis for selecting software manufacturers, so as to avoid becoming a test field for some software manufacturers.

Third, demonstrate the necessary business processes for software products

Free ERP system has been developed for many years in China, most enterprises accept the route of "mature suite software + professional implementation team + appropriate personalized customized development." In this case, personalized development is necessary according to the enterprise management characteristics and construction goals, but the greater the ratio of mature software to development, the less the project risk. For some key industries, such as machinery, electronics, metallurgy, auto parts, chemical and other industries, many software manufacturers have formed certain industry solutions. These industry solutions not only meet enterprise standard applications, but also extract and sublimate industrial applications, basically meeting the individual application requirements of an industry.

Professional consulting companies based on a large number of implementation experience in the industry, summed up the "Best Practice" or "best model," has a strong reference significance. These professional and mature consulting companies are often rooted in certain industries, just like specialist doctors in hospitals. They can be regarded as good teachers and friends for enterprises that need to improve their management standards. However, in the current market, there are still too few such companies, and more are newly assembled "grass-roots teams." Therefore, it is necessary to "recognize people with eyes."

In addition, according to the unique management characteristics of the enterprise itself, it can also rely on platform-based secondary development or code-level secondary development to solve some of its own personalized management needs. In this way, enterprises in the selection, has been equipped with the mature software system of software vendors exchange conditions, enterprise free ERP system selection if there is a mature industry solution to meet the application, as far as possible do not take the "platform customized development" route, especially when the software vendor has not been successfully implemented in the same industry, the risk will be greater. By demonstrating the necessary business process of software products to verify the understanding degree of software manufacturers to the industry where the enterprise is located and the maturity of software application in the same industry, product risks and personalized development risks of enterprise informatization construction will be avoided as much as possible.

Fourth, clarify the implementation subject and implementation team

Clear requirements and goals, a model customer with multiple successful applications, and a mature software product can have very different outcomes if not implemented by the right people. When selecting models, enterprises should pay attention to the main body of the implementation project, and must strive for consulting and implementation services at the group level and original factory level of the company headquarters.

Some software vendors often arrange some less professional teams of local branch channel agency system to handle the project implementation, or arrange the vendor's external consulting implementation partners, or temporarily organize a joint team.

These methods cannot guarantee the implementation team's high level of industry experience, project team stability, product mastery, development support and response timeliness. Moreover, these problems will only be highlighted after the project implementation is started. At this time, the enterprise has no choice but to accept the compromise in order to "smooth the situation" and "eat coptis chinensis without speaking" for its own decision. The project risk can be imagined.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a very detailed review of the implementation subject and implementation team of the software manufacturer, identify and confirm each key personnel entering the project team, ensure the industry experience and project planning control ability of the main members of the project team, if necessary, sign these key personnel into the contract, and clarify the relationship between the project payment method and the appearance of key consultants.

Fifth, determine a reasonable project budget

Businesses want to do the most with the least amount of money. Free ERP systems are different. A free ERP system is a "get what you pay for" job.

Enterprise free ERP system should not only avoid large investment regardless of cost, but also can not be too concerned about cost and affect the quality and duration of the project, not to think that which software manufacturers can do, just pressure the price, then, just like in the medical treatment when only the lowest price of the doctor to see a doctor as absurd. But that doesn't mean you have to find the most expensive doctor-the best doctor will certainly charge the most, but he may not be able to devote all his energy to your family because there are too many people looking for him.

Free ERP system reasonable project budget to consider the following aspects:

One is what to do: demand based on a certain project scope and project objectives;

Second, how to do it: specific implementation planning and implementation strategy;

Third, what to do: what kind of product technology route to take, high-end, mid-end or low-end products?

Fourth, who will do it: what kind of software company and what kind of implementation consultant will do it?

Fifthly, who will do it together: what kind of organizational structure does the enterprise need to form, and what kind of system and incentive measures do it need to guarantee?

Enterprises with these five problems must be determined through investigation, investigation and analysis. The construction of free ERP system project is an investment behavior, and it is necessary to formulate reasonable and long-term information budget according to the information strategy of the enterprise. The initial selection of a cost-free ERP system should be determined by overall objectives and related selection criteria. Be aware that free ERP systems simply do not apply to the "lowest bid" rules of the game.

The fact that large and small enterprises successfully improve their management level and competitiveness by means of informatization has proved that the historical stage of "seeking death on free ERP system" has passed. Increasingly fierce market competition makes "not free ERP system and die" become the consensus of many enterprises. Free ERP system has entered the era of disputes, for enterprise users, software manufacturers in the same industry model customers, mature applications of more than ten industry products, rich industry experience and stable implementation team, one can not be less.

About the five steps of enterprise free ERP system selection is what to share here, I hope the above content can have some help for everyone, you can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it so that more people can see it.
