Everything to do with SAP Business One, ERP projects and business software
The time has come: your ERP system is practically in the starting blocks. However, in order to be able to work with the new solution, you need to transfer the data from the previous system. The data import - the last step of a successful ERP implementation in three steps:
Read MoreThey take time and money - more than necessary if you are not careful. Specifications are intended to help keep track of finances and time management in ERP projects. But even a functional specification is time-consuming and requires a lot of attention.
ERP projects in particular are all about time. The long hesitation of some companies before introducing a new system increases the desire for early implementation. The time-consuming search for the right system is also a reason for a certain tension towards lengthy ERP implementations. Nevertheless, projects should not be tackled under time pressure. A requirement specification should help here. By precisely documenting wishes, possibilities and implementation plans, the customer and the ERP provider should be clear about the process, timeframe and financial background.
To do this, the company must first open all its doors to give the provider the necessary insight into the work processes. Initial suggestions can then be made regarding the processes in the new ERP solution. However, the customer often already has precise ideas about which processes they would like to have mapped and how, or which they would like to take with them. This is the first point at which the actually helpful functional specification becomes a time stopper.
The requirements specification can be a real burden for any ERP project. This is also because it plays a crucial role from start to finish. At the beginning, it serves as a contractually important document, then it becomes the guide, and at the end of the project, it is the checklist. The people behind the requirements specification are the future users. But how can people „from the trade“ communicate important content in such a way that it is also clearly understandable for the ERP provider?

Despite consulting, various industry software, and references from ERP providers, it's possible for a company to choose the wrong system for itself. Most people are not even aware of how important it is to find the right solution. It's not about identifying the „best“ system on the market, but the one that best suits the company.
Read MoreThe question is not if, but when. If a company is still at the beginning of its history, it may still be possible to manage orders, customer data and stock lists using Excel and the like. However, this type of data is not becoming less. The number of people working with this data is also growing. Individual workstations are becoming departments. The demands on company management are growing. Decisions are becoming bigger and riskier. Accounting must always provide reliable figures on which these decisions can be made. In short, the workload is growing.
