Cornerstones of a successful ERP renewal

Focus on data

Renew your ERP system with a data-driven approach to ensure the integrity of business-critical data and its usability for people, processes, and artificial intelligence.

Key elements: Data strategy, data architecture, and data governance.

Support people

Help people to adopt using the new system from the very beginning. Design the ERP system in a way that allows people to focus on value-adding tasks.

Key elements: Change management and measurement, user training, and process automation.

Verify quality

Design testing and quality assurance from the outset, allocating sufficient time and budget for them. Quality deviations can jeopardise the success of the entire project.

Key elements: Project reviews, test management, test automation, requirements management, system integration testing, and user acceptance testing

Achieve the desired benefits

Manage the realisation of benefits throughout the project by aligning project decision-making with the desired business outcomes. This ensures success on the first attempt.

Key elements: Project governance, measuring benefits realisation, and monitoring total project costs.

KEY ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS

The four perspectives for succeeding in renewal

People-driven

The benefits of your renewal effort are capitalised only when people adopt the new mindset and behaviours that replace the old ones. Addressing them early on makes a difference.

Business-wise

Your operations, stakeholders and ecosystem form a complex system that needs to be understood to succeed in transformation. Build a strong foundation for accelerating your operations in the future.

Ethically-balanced

Make ethically and environmentally sustainable choices from the very beginning. Understand the diversity of the service users’ needs and the impacts on our globe – and act accordingly.

Tech-savvy

Technologies and systems act as enablers in your renewal.With the most suitable, scalable technology as well as proper capabilities, architecture and quality assurance, they can ensure the benefits and value of your renewal effort.
