Preparation

Before you start to implement an ERP system what kind of training does your project team need? Business systems sit at the very heart of a business and any decision to purchase a new system or upgrade an existing system can be high risk and costly because of their complexity, length and use of resource.

Unfortunately, the IT industry is littered with examples of badly run projects with escalating costs, missed deadlines, reduced scope and failure to achieve the objectives and benefits defined at the outset. Many of these projects have been run using proven methodologies –– but have still failed to deliver. This is often caused by the lack of detailed preparation prior to project commencement and a lack of ‘people’ based focus.

Over the last decade the consultants from williamswoodward have managed many different systems implementations and have experienced first hand the critical success factors which affect each stage of an ERP project.
