ERP implementation
Whichever ERP software you choose, you will only experience significant improvements in operational efficiency, highlight hidden costs, re-enforce relationships with customers and suppliers if it is properly implemented. This can only be achieved with proficiency in best business practices and a mastery of all implementation steps.
Linko Solutions grounds its implementation approach on a proven methodology along with experienced ERP consultants and strong industry knowledge.
ERP implementation – Strategy and Planning
During this stage, objectives, resource allocation (project team), and rough-cut planning are defined and decided with the help of our project manager and your key stakeholders.
Existing processes are analyzed, amended, completed and formalized with the assistance of our functional consultant who provides you with formalization tools.
ERP Implementation – Design
This stage’s objective is to define how the ERP software will be used depending on your departments’ needs. This stage’s deliverables are a set of documents describing how you plan on using the ERP, the “to be” processes, and an operational manual defining how the ERP solution will run.
Typical tasks associated with this stage are:
- Project team training;
- Workshops: simulations based on your processes including “what if?” scenarios;
- Master data definition;
- Data migration model (if applicable);
- Project planning update;
- System documentation.
ERP Implementation – Implementation
During this stage, we build the target ERP system, we control its reliability, and we validate the relevance of the decisions we made during the design stage.
Typical tasks associated with this stage are:
- Customizations;
- Data transfer and control;
- Deployment planning;
- Documentation update and finalization.
ERP Implementation – Go-live
The objective here is to be up and running with the new ERP system.
Typical tasks associated with this stage are:
- End user station installation and setup;
- End user training;
- Pilot (optional): Your users will test the integrated system based on your business processes and will validate you operational modes;
- Final data migration (dynamic data like orders, invoices, etc.).
