What ERP Implementation Approach Did Your Organization Adopt?
Based on their tolerance for risk, resource availability, and legacy system constraints, companies utilize different approaches during their ERP implementation. To determine the best approach, companies may ask questions like: “Is the ERP project localized or spread across all units?”, “What is the required ERP functionality?”, “What ERP modules will be implemented?”, etc. There are pros and cons for both a phased and big bang approach. Due to this, some organizations will chose to adopt a hybrid approach, which combines the best elements of the various ERP project options.
