ERP implementation Costs and Project Control
ERP Implementation Cost Control
In the first few years of ERP use the largest cost line item is usually for the ERP implementation. Further, the ERP implementation cost is the project component most subject to large unplanned cost overruns.
Our white paper on this topic is titled ERP Implementation Risk Control. If ERP project risk is controlled, so is the source of unplanned cost overruns, poor results, and delayed use of the new ERP.
Our white paper on ERP implementation control includes sections on:
- The true potential of a well-implemented modern ERP.
- Preparing for the ERP implementation—critical actions that must be done.
- The actual ERP implementation phase and key project protocols to protect integrity.
- The internal implementation project manager’s critical skills, capacity, and authority.
- ERP project management structure needed to achieve real success.
- The large list of typical obstacles to ERP implementation project success.
Not only can the implementation phase be expensive, it's where results can be diluted all the way to project abandonment. This is the most important topic to get right and we hope this information is helpful to you.
