Implementing a traditional ERP solution can quickly add up to be a big expense for your company.
Here are a few ways that your company can reduce ERP implementation costs.
Make Sure Your Employees are On Board
Believe it or not, employee resistance to change can cost your company time and money.
Implementing an ERP solution will bring newfound efficiency and organization to nearly every aspect of your business. It also means that employees in all parts of your business need to be prepared to embrace this change. Resistance to an ERP rollout can add time and pain to the process.
To reduce ERP implementation costs, make sure the majority of your team, especially your management and leaders, are on board before you purchase an ERP solution. Take the time to discuss the benefits of an ERP with your leadership team, and have a plan in place for those leaders to act as advocates for an ERP with their respective teams.
Spend Time on Internal Training
Training is one of the most critical aspects of the implementation process, but it is often one of the easiest costs to overlook. Training will give your staff a chance to learn and use the ERP system properly while preparing your whole staff to be ready for the launch of the new system.
One particular challenge with ERP training is that the total cost can be hard to estimate. For example, some people within your organization will need little training (i.e., if their job processes change very little under the ERP system or they are naturally quick learners) while some of your team may need extra training to effectively learn how to utilize the ERP system effectively. This extra training can cost hours in labor training.
In order to reduce ERP implementation costs associated with training, look for an ERP provider that can assist with on-site or online training for your team.
Choose an ERP Provider with Good Customer Service
When your company implements any new software, things may go wrong. To avoid investing extra money on IT help, make sure that you choose an ERP provider that has readily available customer service agents to jump in if an issue or question arises during your company’s implementation period.
