Let’s see how you can ensure the smooth run of your ERP
It is time to breathe a sigh of relief! You successfully made it through the go-live process! Though the real job starts now. Go-live is the first step to success. Whatever you do after going live is crucial to help you meet your goals and ensure your ERP solution is working for you. Now that the system is up, we need to ensure that the support function meets regular maintenance, maximizes adoption, and gets ready for the next level of assistance. It is important to stay vigilant to catch any bug that might create an issue later.
Having the right planning and approach, accompanying the right post-go-live foundation, can smoothen the pathway, maintain the momentum to execute your strategic vision, and drive success. Let’s walk you through the road after going live.
Set KPIs
Setting the KPIs before anything! KPIs could be improving user experience, the process, or the implementation. Once the ERP is implemented, one can have the access to bring accuracy in the real-time data. Knowing what you want after the implementation, what are we shooting at will help you hit the bullseye. Some of the KPIs could be
-Increasing inventory turnover by providing better visibility on the complete inventory management.
-Improving user experience and implementation process by maximum ERP usage and solving bugs.
-Ensuring better project margins for your services and measuring metrics like estimate budgets, booking, completions, milestones, labor, invoices, and expenses of materials.
-Growing revenue growth after implementing a robust ERP system by reduced cost and increased sales.
Evaluate, Monitor, and Improve
Discover ERP bugs that need fixing. A new system can bring a lot of novelty that can take time to be comfortable with. A few things couldn’t go into phase one that should have, or perhaps there are processes you assumed users would put into place once the new system was live. This is the time to identify those missed steps and correct them along with further improvement.
Look for opportunities to automate processes.
There are few levels of ERP implementation that include reporting, analytics, and process automation. After going live, figure out how you can put processes in place to help you do things even better than before. Implement an RPA system that maximizes your output and saves time. Put the technology in place with mundane and repetitive tasks.
Create your road map.
Create a road map for the future. It should set out how to thoroughly utilize the ERP and establish a list of the most beneficial practices. This action will ensure that the system will be used as intended. It might require a team to make sure the software is being put to work.
Spend time with the end-users.
Now that the system is live and running, pay attention to the way people are using the software. Do they need more training? Is it working as they thought it would? Are they getting adequate post-implementation support? How can you encourage them to use the ERP? Make sure your people are reaping the benefits of the software.
Keeping software up-to-date
Regularly updating the ERP’s security patches will be the most reliable way to fend off known threats. To avoid data breaches, pay close attention to the current commitments and necessary resources that ensure the security of all the infrastructure. System backups have to be taken from time to time.
