When the erp software was launched in 2004, there was a huge opposition in the company employees for performing many hits and trails. So company decided to implement the training session for the employees. Firstly the key personnels from every department was included for the training program to become super users.

There was a big benefit of this training session that super users trained their other employees and colleagues to become software savvy. It increased the user awareness in the system and company had not maintained any other personnels to maintain the training sessions for the employees.

The end users also contributed in helding a regular contact with the ERP implementation team and they also provided regular feedback to the team about the upcoming problems and working issues. This regular feedback also helped in deciding the further workflow of the system that how the processes was to be embed into system.

In spite of all these efforts, the SAP business manager proclaimed that the change management is not effective still in the organization and pipeco company will have to increase the strength of the company staff. Pipeco company also sent the back-office employees to the front end roles.

Benefits -

• increased number of employees

• role changing for more productivity

• great awareness of the erp processes

• shaping in the final business processes

• better control of the processes

One of the erp software factor that has not been taken into consideration deeply that is usability testing. Although the usability and applications of the software are not caused for the whole system’s failure because they are very small literal errors but they can affect the individual’s or a workgroup productivity.

The usability problems makes harder to accept the whole erp process in the organization. The long term goal of the organization should be to develop a set of unique principles which can increase the utility of the erp software in the organization. It is necessary to understand the user framework and requirements to make ERP system interface and communication process more easier and user interactive.

It is found that to find a specific functionality - fault in a peculiar ERP software requires a very huge amount of time and energy by the  quality inspectors. This problem can take a huge formation when multiple transactions are occurred on a routine basis. In this case, many navigation and transactional errors may be happened.

In the context of the large enterprises and organizations, where multiple thousands of transactions are happened in a day to day operations, the users are not found able to memorize the correct sequence of the business process. It shows that the whole ERP system was not developed as per according to the proper user navigation and the user was left burdened with the set of numerous operations to complete the transaction.

One of the usability problems are occured, when in an ERP software a user has to perform a repetitive set of tasks like - to enter the data in multiple of forms. This repetitive set of task makes the whole system more complicated and data anomalies are started to occured. It is found that the erp software are not capable to perform the repetitive activities at their own like the normal PC and browsers.

This lacked behaviour in an ERP software shows that a capability should be there in an system to perform the repetitive tasks either by copying and pasting the data without the user support. Another set of problems are occured when the set of pre and post erp vocabularies are totally different to each other.

Every organization has its own set of vocabulary, so it can increase the problem of terminology. This is a universal problem and it also can’t be removed overnight. Each and every organization will have to make efforts to remove this problem.

When both the corporates ( large and small scale ) implements an ERP software in their premises, they understand it as a mean of improving communication in all of their departments & headquarters across countries and increase the productivity.

The main support is needed from the executive side of the top level although, to get the departmental branch support is necessary for the successful implementation of the ERP software. However the trained employees and divisional managers appreciably support the ERP software implementation.

The constant availability of the executive support level, project managers and project teams kept these employees motivated and encouraged for the successful implementation of the ERP software.

Generally it is seen that if the divisional managers are one of the persons who are involved in handling the erp software implementation, they don’t show their interest in implementing ERP. If the departmental manager shows the support in the implementation of ERP software, then it also motivates his employees as well.

The organization who is implementing the erp software, it is necessary for them to adopt the proactive approach instead of the reactive approach.The proper implementation of the ERP software should be based on this approach that in the next five years, how much it will contribute to the organization.

For the successful implementation of an ERP software, it is necessary for the project team to understand the corporate objectives, process choices and the whole business infrastructure.

To control and reduce the delay in cycle time, it is necessary to control the demand and supply of the allocation of material properly. If material is not allocated on time so earlier and later both type of orders would get delayed and it would be useless for the company.

Sometimes the companies also provides the customers to purchase their material on discounts. It is considered that discounts are the sole reason of the decreasing sales value of the company and it is also occurred due to excess production of finished goods in the season time. To get rid of the situation of the discounted material, it is also necessary to put control on the proper selection of supply.

ERP software also helps in reducing the machinery downtime. Machinery downtime is occurred when the proper supply chain system is not available and proper communication channels are not available within the production premises.

Inefficient capacity planning system is also helpful for the delay in the delivery of the finished goods to the appropriate customer. This capacity planning system can be empowered by the proper selection of the ERP software and the prompt response time. Well defined capacity planning software can also be helpful in maintaining the better customer relations. Better customer relations can lead to increased revenue potential to the organization.

Today ERP system and software has three layer of interfaces -

• network layer

• presentation layer

• application layer

Security problems exist in every face of the ERP software like - entry in business processes, internal interfaces and internal database. The security problem will persist in those scenarios where different business components will interact with each other and the client and customers will interact with the whole system. In those scenarios, a small error can be lethally fatal.

Security approaches to the organization -

• New security policies should be easily defined and maintained by the organization time to time.

• Accessing/denying permission to users carefully by the administrators

• To perform the user authentication properly for the new and old regular users

• Task performing privileges should be done properly by the certain users or roles

• The user is granted access as per according to the authorization rules

• Timely verification is necessary for to access the relevant sources

• Properly logging and tracing of the relevant events

Do you know that 70% of ERP systems in the developing country were not successful because they did not get the expected benefits and the non support of Government regulations ? Now let’s dig out that what are the actual reasons which stop the developing countries from successful erp implementation.

The first factor comes in to an individual’s mind that cost is the biggest factor because generally it is seemed that the financial gap between the developed and developing countries is at the extreme. But is it true that the cost is the only factor which is a bigger interruption in the successful implementation of the ERP software.

No, it is not really true. One of the actual reasons of unsuccessful implementation of the ERP software is a huge gap between the organization requirements and current ERP software. The poor performance of the erp software is generally occured by the poor business infrastructure, informal working policies, misfits, insufficient human resources and financial limitations.

The interest and commitment level of top level management also effects the ERP software performance. Top level management is responsible for the allocation of funds and the judging of direction in which an ERP software is going. So it is necessary to have top management involvement in the companies of developing countries for the successful implementation.

This is also necessary for the users of the software also to get properly involved with it. How much earlier the users will be involved with the software, it will help you to implement the changes in the software on time. The proper change management also helps in making successful to the erp software.
