Everything to do with SAP Business One, ERP projects and business software
The adaptability of ERP systems is usually a quality feature. And rightly so, because after all, the software is supposed to support each company individually. Nevertheless, the established processes are often not as efficient as they could be.

Process optimisation is the be-all and end-all of a successful ERP implementation. But when is the right time to examine the existing processes?

If you've been following our posts for a while, you've probably heard it before: ERP projects are often approached with the wrong expectations.
Read MoreSometimes it's the company strategy, sometimes it's growth. Sometimes it is simply time: when a new ERP solution becomes necessary.
Saying goodbye is hard. Nevertheless, every now and then we have to say goodbye to someone or something. This also applies to outdated ERP systems.

Or if we are being clear: "If you digitalise a shitty process, then you have a shitty digital process". The words of the CEO of Telefónica Deutschland AG precisely describe the misconception that many companies still harbour and miscalculate in the calculation ERP = success.

The disappointment when the expected effect in improved processes fails to materialise is great.

However, a new system is not necessarily required for process optimisation. The process analysis can be carried out independently of the ERP system anyway. The challenge - as is so often the case - lies in the implementation. The data structures in particular play a major role in process optimisation - and these are ultimately the heart of every ERP system.
