Why ERP ?
Changing economic & business environment
Economic outlook drives for efficiencies
Maintain competitive advantage
Eliminate duplicate efforts and Leverage Best Practices
Increased need for unified on-time information and user interface
Business alignment towards strategy & Control towards standards (IFRS, SOX, etc.)
Quick decision support
Sharing & integration of management information with partners
Advantages & Disadvantages
1. Potential failure in utilizing the system properly could make
the company less efficient in the long run
2. High costs - Only large corporations can access these benefits
offered by this technology
3. Continuous training of employees
4. ERP has a number of limitations (the success is fully
dependent on how employees utilize it)
5. Hard to customize.
6. Making the necessary changes may make the company less
effective in the market
7. ERP vendors may charge additional license fees
8. ERP technical support has been questioned
1. Accounting applications (integration of costs, profit and
revenue information of sales in a granular way)
2. Easy alterations in manufacturing
3. The company keeps better track of their products which are
produced with a higher level of quality
4. High Employed Security
5. ERP in logistics strengthens the cooperation between
suppliers, companies and clients
6. Efficient cash management
7. Quality control support (Internal auditory procedures and
providers)
8. Improved Financial Information
Challenges of ERP
Needs a clear understanding of the organization and how it does things
Clear documentation of Business Processes & Legacy Systems
Scope defined in detail
Implementation brings a lot of change & resistance
ERP packages may need customization to fit but also
Organization has to adapt to it (organization changes)
Expenses of implementing are high – so is the risk
Implementation is resource-intensive
Critical Success Factors
Clear understanding of strategic goals, expectations and deliverables
Top management support, engagement and participation
Engagement in excellent project management (define the objectives, develop work plan)
Business driven implementation directed by business requirement (not by IT dept.)
Top-notch implementation team (detailed project plan and full availability of all necessary resources)
Absolute data precision (invalid data can have a negative domino effect)
Thorough training and extensive education
(giving 10-15% of the total ERP implementation budget for training provides 80% chance of success.)
Specific performance measures. (Evaluation criteria must be included from the early beginning)

The project plan must have some kind of contingency plan
(pen and paper, overtime budget, backup systems)
for every critical process.
A short time before the go-live, only important and major
changes occur in the system and priority and focus is
given only to critical operations.
A given time before the go-live, change requests are not
longer accepted and any gap identified is left out of the
scope.
After go-live, focus is given in critical operations such
as order taking, production and distribution until the
system is declared stable by the committee.
Expectations of Change
Go Live
The go-live event
is both an end
and a beginning.
Recovery
Immediately after
going live,
performance,
productivity and
morale usually
declines as people
adapt to the new
system and processes.
Project Implementation Timeline
Once people
become
comfortable using
the system and all
the bugs are
worked out, then
the environment
stabilizes.
With a stable
environment,
the benefits of
SAP can be
obtained, such as
efficiency,
effectiveness
and
transformation.
Preparation
Phase
Much work to
prepare
for new systems and
business processes.
Conclusion
In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy and Bulgaria, hand-
held electronic devices allow the delivery drivers to
produce customer invoices at the time of delivery, reducing
invoice inquiries and improving cash flow.
In Poland, Bulgaria and Romania, automated dispatching of
products results in faster delivery and optimized route
planning, to help meet specific customer requirements.
In Austria and Italy, a SAP-driven vendor management
inventory system allows exchanging electronic inventory
information with large customers and plan the
replenishment of their warehouses.
In Bulgaria, a specialized customer order entry process and
keyboard have helped Customer Service specialists reduce
the time required to take a product order by 25%-30%.
