- By the Cloud ERP Implementation Experts at Stratotech Partners, LLC.
Your growing company is outgrowing your existing accounting and business management system. You realize it's time for a change. So now what? If you're outgrowing QuickBooks or any older legacy or custom system, you've probably heard it's a pretty big deal and investment to implement a new ERP system. Luckily, there are many resources to help you with a successful transition to a modern solution that's scalable, integrated and robust to accommodate your unique requirements. Finding the right ERP system will make all the difference in your company’s success. There are many options to consider when selecting ERP solutions: technology, architecture, platforms, a variety of roll-out or go-live methods, and local area ERP consultants.
There are many ERP implementation horror stories about project that are considered failures for one reason or another. The common problems that occur are unexpected cost overruns, the new system never really works as anticipated and go-live dates that pass deadlines with no relief in sight. Even if you do go live, there is the risk that your new system isn’t adopted by your employees. This is usually because the users are frustrated that it doesn’t really make their job easier, or it’s too hard to learn or use.
By most estimations and past experiences, an ERP implementation will take 6 to 12 months to get up and running. Most companies use ERP systems for an average of 7-10 years. According to Gartner Group analysts, it’s estimated that 75% of ERP implementations fail. We believe this statistic can be avoided if you ask the right questions upfront. Taking time to prepare for this journey, finding the right path and ERP consultant to guide you is the best way to turn your risks into rewards.
