The three of them must go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Before going deeper into the ERP Implementation, we need to make discretion, which one is a need and which one is a desire.<\/p>\n<p>If companies are able to define their needs, they will find the solutions easily.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if a company does not know what their needs are, then they will be stuck with what they want, so that even if they get something, that will not answer their needs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 60%; float: left; padding-right: 22px;\">\nThe trap Excessive expectations due to desire are not the only reason projects can run so challenging.<br \/>\nTime is another pretty dangerous trap.\n<p>Lack of understanding of an ERP project (be it a SAP Business One implementation project, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Nav or an open source like Odoo) often causes top management to make unilateral decisions in deciding the project duration (Underestimating Project Complexity).<\/p>\n<p>This can be seen from the Management&#8217;s desire to implement ERP in a short time, for example by assuming that the company is relatively simple, the implementation of the 6 months system can be done in 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, assumptions can be right or wrong.<\/p>\n<p>It is better to discuss this in detail with a helping party such as an ERP consultant who will be used.<br \/>\nUnfortunately ERP consultants often fall into this trap too.<\/p>\n<p>Because he\/she wanted to get a project, a request for proposal correction from 6 months to 3 months was accepted so that it could be approved by top  management.<\/p>\n<p>Of course this could be the cause of the project delay in the future, rather than completed in 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>7 other key points that influence the success of ERP system implementation::<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/support-from-top-management-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support From Top Management<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/business-process-blueprint-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Process Blueprint<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/data-preparation-management-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data Preparation Management<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/training-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Training<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/testing-testing-and-testing-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Testing, testing and testing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/are-all-potential-users-ready-8-keys-to-successful-erp-system-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Are All Potential Users Ready?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/cut-off-strategy-paralel-run-vs-cut-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cut Off Strategy &#8211; Parallel Run Vs Cut off<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #4f81bd; width: 40%; float: left;\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%; background: #ffffff; text-align: center; margin-top: 13px; padding: 8px 0px; font-size: 20px; color: #4f81bd;\"><strong>TIPS<\/strong><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px 15px; color: #ffffff;\">List all requirements from each department &#8230; NEEDS Not Desires.
