Planning for your ERP Implementation
What is ERP Planning?
Organizations are often delighted to discover the proactive steps they can take in advance to significantly enhance the success of their ERP implementations.
Ultimately, organizations with successful ERP implementations aren’t just lucky—they are well-prepared.
To ensure a smooth transition and successful deployment, this planning phase weaves together 3 elements:
-
Strategic planning (your master blueprint)
-
Requirement analysis (understanding exactly what you'll need)
-
Resource allocation (making sure you have all your pieces in place)
It's like unveiling a new symphony – you wouldn't lead your orchestra on-stage without carefully composing the music and holding rehearsals, would you?

How do implementation's fail?
The success of an ERP implementation is determined by an organization's level of preparedness before it even begins.
When failures do happen, in our experience, it's the result of inadequate pre-implementation planning and unrealistic expectations.
This is so easily avoidable when you have access to experienced counsel who is on your side.
