ERP : Many businesses have invested in ERP products seeking business benefits in terms of cost efficiency and productivity gains. Organizations now demand the return on their investment in ERP systems and are cautious about investing further in ERP. Consequently the demand of ERP and implementation and support services has also undergone considerable change. The challenge is to demonstrate the business benefits of the ERP systems at a reduced cost of ownership. For most global companies, speed of ERP implementation coupled with a worldwide rollout delivery capability is critical for maximizing the ROI from ERP investments.

A Stitch a Time Saves Nine - Reducing Downtime

ERP applications have a direct relation to the business process and hence are mission critical in nature. When the ERP system is unavailable or under-performing productivity is impacted – employees, suppliers, and customers are all standby until it is resolved. A typical case of replacing failed equipment or lost data, or bugs in the interfaces can contribute to an increase downtime and can spring up unpleasant financial surprises.

Research studies have revealed that only 5% of mission critical applications achieve a level of availability that produces less than 9 hours of downtime per year, and that 70% of the companies desiring this level of availability will not be able to justify the cost to achieve it. It is imperative that the ERP system is supported with the highest service levels, which brings about the need for doing a range of maintenance activities ranging from corrective to adaptive maintenance.

LEVELING THE MORNING AFTER…” - PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

Implementing the ERP is only the first step. However the real challenge lies in the successful execution of a quality assurance plan, otherwise known as a post-implementation plan. To obtain the full benefits, operational synergies and an optimal on investment (ROI) from the system, organizations look beyond going live and focus on improving performance. Performance optimization is the “enabler” for a company to reap the benefits of an ERP system and achieve

Optimization is the “morning after” effort to evaluate the success of the implementation and maximize ROI by flattening the learning curve for the new system. Optimization should be planned and executed with the same diligence and accountability that was accorded to the initial system implementation. Too often this is an area that is not given due diligence because of shortage of internal IT staff. External service providers with experience, strong methodology and proven expertise can help organizations to fine-tune their applications thereby ensuring optimal

“THE LAW OF ELASTICITY” - Resource Optimization

It is accepted wisdom that ERP success depends on staffing the project with the best and brightest from the business. Losing key ERP personnel in the volatile IT market is a major threat for smooth continuity of operations. This poses challenges in scalability and retention.

ERP applications require flexibility to scale resources to meet the changing business requirements as the organization’s processes evolve. When an ERP application stabilizes it is possible to maintain it with fewer resources. This implies that the resources that were initially maintaining the task might not be required for a continuous period if there is high productivity efficiency and hence need to be re-deployed into other initiatives.

Maintenance is an extremely demanding and very mundane activity that requires constant vigil, and a service driven approach. These results in a scenario where an organization invests in high cost staff, that is relatively scarce to get and deploys them in mission critical but low-end work, which could result in losing the resource. The solution is therefore to balance the availability to balance the availability of internal resources for business critical and higher value-add work. Service providers with teams of specialized and experienced professionals would be able to meet the fluctuating demands without compromising on the service levels and also guarantee continuity.

“SAME FOR LESS” - Cost Optimization

The maintenance phase of any ERP system unlike the implementation faces specific issues due to its recurring costs. Maintenance expenses are usually underestimated, an often end up costing far more than the initial purchase. ERP outsourcing relieves the cost pressures from organizations by weeding out unnecessary recurrent costs. By negotiating with outsourcing service providers for fixed charges that are lower than the internal IT costs organizations can not only efficiently reduce costs but also effectively create the time and money needed for the projects they really need or want to put in place.

… And Inadequate Support Models

Many companies that have implemented ERP have realized that the high level of customization of the product blocks support from the ERP vendor. This makes maintenance an extremely expensive affair. Performance problems in online/batch processes that are a result of basic ERP design and implementation issues detected in post-implementation scenario make it difficult and time consuming for the maintenance team support the ERP.

The success in achieving these benefits lies in identifying the right service provider. Both the organization as well as the service provider need to invest time and efforts to establish a smooth transition and management as it involves managing business critical system. This requires for a partnership approach rather than a vendor management model.
