ERP Consulting Strategy
The selection of an ERP consulting firm is the most critical step, affecting the success or failure of an ERP implementation project. We have put together a ERP Consultant Selection Guide to help you with the process. A common ERP consultation process begins with a need discovery call to an ERP consultant, designated by your ERP consulting firm such as Trustfort. Trustfort offers you a free need discovery call with no strings attached. This call acts as a gateway to the ERP implementation process described below.
1. Consultation
The ERP consultant works with your team to understand your existing systems and processes, and meets with different stakeholders to build an overall understanding of the system. This phase answers the question: Where do we stand? The aim is to identify the challenges that the new implementation must solve, to be successful.
2. Needs Assessment
Then the ERP consultant starts collecting detailed requirements about the functions performed by each business unit, the workflows and compliance requirements.
3. Strategy
The business requirements are then mapped to the target ERP system like Microsoft Business Central. A project plan is laid out, and development work starts. The project management strategy that Trustfort uses in all of its projects is Agile project management because it is not always possible to look too far into the future, and it helps adapt quickly to changing business requirements, enabling you to hit the road running. Another important consideration at this stage is to minimize disruptions to the business’s everyday activities.
4. Data Migration
Data migration is the most critical step in the process. Successful data migration enables AI-enabled decision making using the built-in tools like CoPilot. This capability is the most valuable resource in realistic forecasting and planning supported by your own data.
5. Training & Support
As each group of key business requirements get implemented, the ERP consulting firm trains the users on how to use the system to perform their day-to-day tasks. Technical Support includes applying system upgrades, managing security and account settings, and backup/restore support during the lifetime of an ERP system.
