Before Procuring ERP For Your Company, You Should Definitely Improve Your Processes<\/b><\/h2>\n

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is an integrated and strategic corporate information technology software platform that transforms data into corporate business processes and provides integration. In addition to all internal processes of the company, such as sales, purchasing, production, accounting, finance, and human resources, ERP also contributes to the integration of the organization with its customers, suppliers, banks, tax administration, and other external units.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ERP is a need that organizations need maybe every 10-15 years in their lifetimes; It is an institutional need that affects productivity, effective work, and constitutionalism, and has a high cost (software, installation, and consultancy). In case of dissatisfaction, failure may be encountered, and serious costs may be incurred as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although ERP is a software platform, it should be treated primarily as a management tool, and it is critical to move forward with the decision and involvement of the company\u2019s board of directors and senior management. ERP needs to be selected, implemented, maintained, and audited correctly. ERP concerns all processes and all employees of companies and affects the way they do business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, it is difficult for companies to carry out the selection process of such a technological and complex product on their own, especially in the face of the abundance of domestic and foreign ERP manufacturers and product options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before choosing ERP, there are great benefits for companies to review their organizational structures, workflows, job descriptions, risks and internal controls, and to increase standardization and adapt their corporate processes to the ERP they will choose; because the processes operating in the departments (practices in the field, procedures, authorities, job descriptions, reporting lines and content, management of corporate risks, internal controls, etc.) can become more complex over time due to personnel changes, inability to follow up-to-date practices, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The more ready and mature these processes are, the fewer difficulties can be experienced in the transition to ERP. In addition, after the ERP selection, auditing the application\/installation (implementation) of the selected ERP program will also increase the quality of the application and increase the likelihood of employee adoption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While a well planned and implemented ERP project with a well-decided scope and the right team after reviewing the existing processes can provide benefits such as efficiency, institutionalization, effective working and reporting at optimum cost, an ERP project which has started with wrong planning, scope and team and implementation without reviewing the existing processes may have the potential to result in financial loss, missed opportunity and corporate unrest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ERP selection should be in line with the company\u2019s goals and strategies. For example, the ERP that should be chosen by a company that will increase its international operations and product range in the next 10 years, aiming to increase its turnover by 4 times by entering new markets, may not be the same ERP that a company without such goals and dynamism should choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the financial resources of the company, the qualifications of the employees, the corporate culture and openness to change, corporate planning, and implementation accumulation are some other variables that may affect the sustainability of the ERP to be selected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
