Hi,
To be a good implementor, In short, today's implementation strategy must be built on a foundation of people, processes, and product.
People. This issue refers both to the people directly involved in the implementation, and the associated issues that crop up when a new software tool appears on the scene. The challenge is to have the strong change management, organizational, and project management skills (ERP Project Management Basics) that will likely reduce risk and manage complexity. Successful teambuilding hinges on experienced leadership to evaluate and assemble the resources required - both internally and externally - to plan and launch a successful implementation and keep it on track. The best implementation teams represent a combination of business, process, and product knowledge; skill sets; and communication efforts that encourage people to share information and responsibility for the project's success.
Process. To secure management commitment and ongoing support, it's necessary to define a business case for the software tool, focusing first on the core functionality that provides the best and fastest payback. to achieve rapid implementation and return-on-investment, the successful implementation strategy should leverage the best practices built into the software, and processes should be realigned accordingly. This requires a knowledgeable implementation partner with industry experience.
Product. Today's implementation partner should possess a thorough understanding of the software tool's capabilities, technical skills to provide interfaces and integration with other systems within the enterprise, and business foresight to determine how the software can best be applied to further the organization's goals.
