Process optimisation in the ERP solution: Always a new system necessary?

Particularly with ERP systems that have been in use for a long time, it becomes apparent over time that some work processes still need to be improved. 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. But how can these be changed and improved in such a way that the necessary process optimisation can be implemented?

A successful ERP project: the path to a good specification sheet

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?

To avoid over- and underestimations, this illustrates the components of the costs for an ERP system. However, the various factors that ultimately influence the price of an ERP solution are so variable that it is impossible to determine a single „true“ price.
Generally, a distinction is made between internal and external cost factors that arise for a company when „acquiring“ an ERP system.

More usability for ERP systems

It is well known that ERP systems are the general answer to a company's complex processes. However, a system must also be operated. This aspect is often not taken into account during the ERP implementation, which is why it often causes more confusion for users after commissioning than they are able to fully utilise the ERP system. Added to this is the general level of knowledge about software, which is often not standardised within the company. In most cases, a high level of support is required to enable users to utilise the system in its entirety. The large number of functions are often daunting for ERP newcomers and therefore not very user-friendly.
