Red flags to avoid an ERP system failure

Red flags to avoid an ERP system failure 

 

If you are here it certainly means you are on the lookout for any ERP system that can simplify your businesses operation cycle. At Tayana Solutions, we will suggest you to always implement a cloud-based ERP system. Especially in this testing times when social distancing is the norm and your employees cannot be at your disposal for issues, big or small. Thus, implementing a cloud-based ERP system in a post COVID environment can help your business by: 

• Reducing the operational cost 
• Make your employees and organization more efficient 
• Enhance the scalability 
• Speed up the deployment 
• Easy and affordable migration 
• Ease of accessibility 
• No software licensing audits required 

But we all know how challenging the implementation process is. It takes knowledge experience, professional expertise to ensure that your ERP implementation is a success. In today’s post we’re going to list out some of the red flags that you need to immediately identify as the possibility of any ERP system failure. But before we begin with the list let us know what are some of the common reasons behind the implementation failure: 

• Legacy ERP system 
• Improper budgeting 
• Poor management 
• Inadequate training 
• Insufficient human resources 

Having mentioned that let’s move on to the red flags there are clear sign of ERP implementation failure: 

• You still rely on the traditional data recovery and backup system. Or you do not have a data recovery or backup system in place. If the recovery time objective which is the time it takes for a system to get back up and running post a disaster is high then you will face an ERP implementation failure soon. RTO is an important factor to consider in an ERP implementation process. 

• You are working on a network computer where most of the resources are installed locally instead of implementing it on a distributed network. This will put the system under a heavy load. It might get to the point of getting disrupted and leading to implementation failures. Furthermore, if you find that implementing changes to the ERP system is getting costlier and time-consuming as you go ahead it’s a clear sign that you need to change your ERP infrastructure.

• Your current ERP system is unable to migrate data which is crucial to your business productivity. The traditional ERP system has accessibility issues. Thus this will reflect on the ERP implementation and further on the business production. It gets complex overtime and reflect on the business’s operational quality data credibility and information reliability 

Well, the ERP system could fail due to budgeting. Therefore, the major reason behind some of the most common ERP system implementation failures are poor data migration management. Thus, we recommend a cloud based ERP system.
