The process of choosing and implementing an ERP could become stressful for any organization as it requires a large amount of capital, and planning to accrue benefits.

An ERP assessment can allow you to evaluate your existing ERP system (if you have one), uncover your future business requirements to determine the feasibility of a successful ERP implementation, and provide you with an estimate of time & investment required to implement a new or upgrade your existing ERP.

Organisations seeking to implement ERP for the first time, an assessment could help in understanding and assessing:

• If a cloud ERP or on-premise solution is ideal.
• Suggest changes to your existing infrastructure to leverage your existing investment.
• New business processes to improve business outcomes and overall business efficiency.
• Revenue leaks & bottlenecks within the organisation.
• Systems that will be replaced / no longer required after the successful implementation.
• The time frame, infrastructure, tools and processes required for a successful implementation.
• Evaluation of TCO (total cost of ownership) and financial benefits with investment into ERP.
• Road map to a successful ERP implementation.

Organisations who already have an ERP, but are seeking to leverage their investment and its capabilities to the fullest, an assessment can help in determining:If a cloud ERP or on-premise solution is ideal.

•  Explain current state – How is the current ERP solution adding value to the organisation.
• The challenges, gaps & limitations with current ERP solution.
• Changes and improvements to existing business processes to meet future needs and goals.
• Potential risks, benefits and areas that need improvement.

If your organisation lacks ease of management and visibility, if your systems slowing your pace, too many manual or paper-based processes, generating real-time reports is a challenge, if there is a lack of or no coordination between various groups within an organisation, expanding into new markets is a struggle, acquiring new and retaining existing clients is a challenge, an ERP will help.

By taking the doctor’s consultative approach and mapping different processes in line with business outcomes and goals is the best approach towards a successful implementation project. That said, here’s what an ERP assessment by an experienced implementation partner will include:

• Interviews with ERP SMEs, consultants and important stakeholders to understand organizational readiness.
• Evaluation of your existing systems and business processes to determine feasibility and value for a successful implementation
• Analysis of current business processes and systems to identify gaps for future goals and objectives.
• ERP success roadmap in line with business objectives, goals and current state of the business.
• Showcase & explain the new system and process concepts.
• Outline project structure, resources and skill required, and tools needed.

It is essential to note that an assessment will not involve detailed analysis and documentation of existing systems; rather, it focuses on what’s working, what’s not, and what can be done to become more competitive.
