Technology is an Opportunity to Achieve Better Outcomes
Understanding your business context will help you make the right decisions and position your technology to propel your strategy.
Understanding
- Know your business needs for today and what you will need for the future
- Understand how much spare capacity your organization has for implementation
- Determine how your current state is limiting your ability to perform better
- Select a business integrator to fit your technology solutions with your future
Tradeoffs
- Take a balanced approach to how much value you should expect at a given risk level
- Don’t let your ERP technology stack decay and slow down your performance
- It is easy to accidently overbuild, right size to scale with your business needs
- Use a business integrator to guide your implementation team to defined outcomes and support execution
Positioning
- Understand what out of the box features will help you on day one
- Don’t preserve old processes with new technology
- Tread lightly with customization, there are long term drawbacks
- Implementations require significant participation from your team, the right business integrator will keep you on track*
*Timelines vary widely, ScottMadden can help you prioritize and determine benefits/risks of shorter vs. longer project timelines and help keep you on track
