Ensuring a smooth journey with your ERP Provider

Implementing an ineffective ERP system can have unfortunate consequences for your business. Without a knowledgeable ERP provider, you could be missing the huge benefits that ERP systems deliver.

An ERP system is a crucial component for any organisation driven to stay competitive, efficient, and ahead of its competitors. Researched, designed, and implemented successfully by the right ERP provider, your ERP will integrate your unique business processes and functions to streamline all operations.

What Is An ERP Provider?

CORE Technology are an example of an ERP provider. Our CORE systems ensure clients from all industries have a reliable ERP system to maximise business efficiency. As an ERP provider, we ensure our software integrates seamlessly with your business and is integrated with your existing data and software.

But what are the processes involved in a successful implementation? The procedure can be challenging and complex, often time-consuming and requiring meticulous planning at every stage, but having a dedicated implementation team on board makes this process efficient and streamlined.

The different phases include:

Business Analysis

Understanding your company’s objectives, budgets and strategies are at the foundations of a solid ERP system. One of our teams’ initial objectives as an ERP provider is to gain a thorough understanding of the current challenges you face.

Documentation

Understanding your business is essential for optimising our ERP system to meet your requirements. ERP providers capture what we have learned about your company and its requirements by taking advantage of the opportunity to meet and engage with your staff.

We’ll inform you of our findings so that everyone is on the same page. Following that, we will continue to collaborate with you to develop our success criteria and deliverables. This enables us to monitor our progress/success in respect to the objectives we set.

Planning

Never undervalue the planning stage even if it could be tempting to create and execute an ERP system straight now. The foundation for the entire implementation is laid at this phase. It makes sure everything goes as well as possible with the least amount of inconvenience to your business activities.

Implementation and Testing

Now time for the exciting part, implementation. This is when the deployment of applications and applying configurations begins.

Application deployment and configuration application start at this point.  Along with preparing and loading new standing data, delivering any agreed-upon development changes, and iterating in accordance with quality assurance and user acceptability standards.

An intensive testing process is then performed by your ERP provider to detect and resolve any glitches or compatibility issues before the ERP system goes live.

Deployment Phase

At this stage, the ERP system is ready to be deployed within the business. Staff are trained to use the new system effectively and any last-minute obstacles are overcome. The software is tested throughout the deployment phase to ensure its smooth operation and to minimise disruption to business operations once live.

Post-implementation Phase

Once the systems are in place, our relationship does not end here. Our service desk team is engaged throughout the entire onboarding process, ensuring a seamless transition to support once the project closes. As part of our ongoing maintenance, our ERP providers conduct regular check-ins, support meetings and software updates.

We want to ensure that our product remains as powerful and impactful as possible in ever-changing business settings, and we will collaborate closely with you to achieve this! Your account manager is a professional services team member who assisted you with the onboarding process. They give roadmaps that are tailored to your needs and are accessible to help you whenever you need it, thanks to their extensive knowledge of your industry.

We take pride in the long-term relationships we develop with our new clients; we provide a solid foundation for a partnership from the start and want to continue doing so in the future. Contact us today for more information.
