An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a modular software system that can be used to manage the many different facets of a organization's day-to-day operations. Some of the underlying technical features of an ERP include messaging, information, transaction and workflow management. Modules that are typical part of an ERP include Finance, Human Resources, Sales Order Processing, and Customer Relationship Management to name a few. There a number of ERPs on the market (EnterpriseOne, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.), each having strengths in different subsets of these modules.
SwiftRadius understands that an ERP implementation involves transformation of the people, process and technology of core business processes. We believe that a focus on ROI and TCO is critical to ensure that benefits are realized. An extensive study of as-is business process support including related technology is an important component of a design phase. From there a project can proceed to defining to-be business process support including required solution architecture, program management activities, to-be business process, people impacts, and the required training and change management activities. Once a design phase has been completed, execution focuses on configuration and customization of the solution to fit the to-be processes. Core integrations are designed in detail and built, and verification of business process support begins. After a production cutover, a post-production support phase is set up to ensure that the business case is realized and that change management activities were successful.
