ERP Software
The Definition of ERP
ERP stands for Enterprise, Resource & Planning. ERP software integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. As the ERP methodology has become more popular, software applications have emerged to help business managers implement ERP in business activities such as inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance and human resources.
How to deliver a ERP Solution
Following Evo-soft’s initial visits to the client’s organisation, our consultants will have secured a ‘top-level’ understanding of the business needs and have formulated initial plans as to potential solutions. We will then follow a tried and tested project methodology supported throughout all phases by a rigid monitoring, reporting and control process. A common mistake in ERP projects is a failure to understand the full scope of software functionality required. This critical success factor drives our attention to detail approach during the early stages of a project and ensures that we accurately model our client’s business needs. During project delivery our Consultants focus on five interrelated IT factors that we believe contribute to improved IT performance: Integration, Productivity, Innovation, Knowledge and Infrastructure. Evo-soft Ltd also focus on four core indicators that measure IT performance: Productivity, Utilisation, Execution and Adoption. These factors are monitored closely during the project lifecycle of: design, development, implementation and go-live. To ensure an effective ERP installation, Evo-soft utilise Business Change Management (BCM) as a vehicle to ensure the whole organisation is considered prior to, during and post implementation. BCM pairs the objectives of the organisation with our understanding of what measures and drives strong IT performance. This approach takes into account organisational structure, strategy, people, culture and processes to deliver optimal IT functionality and stakeholder value.
Benefits of ERP Software
ERP software integrates business processes across departments onto a single enterprise-wide information system. The major benefits of ERP are improved coordination across functional departments and increased efficiencies of doing business. The immediate benefit from implementing ERP systems we can expect is reduced operating costs, such as lower inventory control cost, lower production costs, lower marketing costs and lower help desk support costs. The other benefits from implementing ERP systems are facilitation of day-to-day management. The implementations of ERP systems nurture the establishment of backbone data warehouses. ERP systems offer better accessibility to data so that management can have up-to-the-minute access to information for decision making and managerial control. ERP software helps track actual costs of activities and perform activity based costing. An additional key benefit gained from ERP is with respect to strategic planning; ERP software systems are designed to support the resource planning portion of strategic planning. Strategic Planning is "a deliberate set of steps that assess needs and resources; define a target audience and a set of goals and objectives; plan and design coordinated strategies with evidence of success; logically connect these strategies to needs, assets, and desired outcomes; and measure and evaluate the process and outcomes."
