What is the purpose of enterprises using ERP to realize informatization? For this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solution in detail, hoping to help more small partners who want to solve this problem find a simpler and easier way.

The original intention of enterprises using ERP may be many reasons, but the results that they want to see are the same, and the decision-making of leaders on the road of informatization is the key, which determines the development direction of enterprises.

Why ERP?

"ERP is a good thing. Others are doing it. We don't have face if we don't do it. It's hard for leaders to explain when they ask. "This may be the mentality of many state-owned enterprises at the beginning of the selection; there are also some private enterprises on ERP is pressure from customers, such as the satisfaction of orders, the development of new products, etc.; some enterprises on ERP is to declare government project funding, or for tax avoidance considerations. However, when you ask them why they want ERP, their caliber is surprisingly consistent: ERP is to improve management and reduce costs. Is that true? The motivation of enterprise informatization demand, or the real purpose of the boss spending money on informatization, determines the selection of ERP and the effect of implementation.

Why do we need to develop information technology? Is it OK if we don't? Informatization can solve what problems for enterprises, what problems can not be solved, whether the current stage of enterprise development is suitable for informatization, where informatization is placed in the company, whether the team and culture can support the development of informatization work, and where the risks are, these should be clear before selection.

Despite the arbitrariness of many business decisions, there is no work that the boss decides to do that cannot be done. The reason why the boss is not determined to do it is because the priority of this work is not high and it is not enough to do it. ERP selection will undoubtedly consume a lot of time and energy on both sides, enterprises usually have business to be busy, it is impossible to put too much energy on ERP, ERP for most enterprises, is important but not urgent. Many bosses pay great attention to ERP projects verbally, but they do not implement them in action. It is likely that they have not clarified their thinking and have not realized the value of informatization. Project managers must learn to set and manage the boss's expectations, otherwise even if the information technology is also thankless.

ERP Core Values

"Without ERP, just like there is no map in war, we can't see the details of our various links and regions. "

Informatization as a management tool is actually for management services, information provides the basis for decision analysis, support and performance monitoring, assessment means, so that managers of the company's business operations at a glance, faster and more accurate decisions. Before informatization, leaders hold 20% of the information, but they have to make 80% of the decisions; the grassroots are engaged in specific work, although they hold 80% of the information, only 20% of the decisions have to be made, and there is serious information asymmetry. Because the leader lacks the necessary information, do not know whether to sign this word, the leader asks the subordinate to inquire about the situation face to face, also cannot understand clearly quickly. In order to find the basis for signing or not signing, a lot of information has to be consulted for very simple things, and a lot of value-added work has been done to control risks. The time of leaders is thus dominated by subordinates.

Information platforms provide stewards, advisers and tools to leaders. With the system, leaders are liberated from daily affairs and only deal with exceptional events. The time saved can be used to do strategic planning, meet with big customers and other things that leaders should do. Systems solidify processes and knowledge, precipitate functions and responsibilities, and make them clearer and more detailed.

From this point of view, informatization can not prevent a certain person from leaving, but with information platform no longer worry about a certain person leaving, informatization can not prevent the occurrence of prevarication, but at least can let prevarication and other problems exposed. Some enterprises have a lot of orders and good business, which largely covers up management problems. Anyway, as long as they can deliver goods, they can deal with customers in the past. Now can not do information, but the problem will face sooner or later, information is a necessity after the enterprise develops to a certain stage.

ERP Requirements for Personnel

Enterprise executives care about what they should know and know, whether the system data is true and credible, and how to better monitor it in an information environment. The middle level of the enterprise is worried about the change of work habits and vested interests. Will the system replace its own position? Enterprise grass-roots care whether the system can solve practical problems, simple and easy to use, make work easier.

In the past, the boss thought about how to get more orders, develop the enterprise and support the employees, and the employees mostly had the mentality of working, what the boss told them, and they would not take the initiative to ask questions. Over time, the upper and lower more and more tired, more and more relaxed. Informatization promotes the change of management mode from push to pull, so that there is pressure and responsibility below.

In fact, ERP does not require high requirements for the top management, but for the people below, because they use the system to handle the daily main business, and the accuracy of the data depends on them. For senior management, they only need to be trained to master how to query relevant information.

For example, as a general manager, the information he needs to see every day is decision-making information, daily approval, personal office (mail), reminder information, company-level dynamic information, and abnormal information. According to the system settings, the department manager can approve the amount within the amount, and the general manager can approve the amount beyond the amount. With the system, all departments at all levels shall perform their duties step by step and operate according to the prescribed process and authority, so as to make the management more orderly and rapid and reduce the occurrence of "fire fighting incidents."

ERP as a management tool users are employees, the real object of service is management, information provides the basis for decision-making analysis. To really play the value of ERP, enterprises need to work together. Standardized operation process and powerful decision-making are the solid backing for enterprise development.
