ERP consulting for SMEs

Effi­ci­ent automation

Problems that are digitized become larger 

Compe­ti­tive advan­tage through digi­tiza­tion and enter­prise resource plan­ning (ERP). Convin­cing in theory. In prac­tice: not always. Because before it comes to moni­to­ring and control­ling busi­ness proces­ses with infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy, the ques­tion should be what it is you want to control.

Digitization begins doing analog work

ERP is an auto­ma­ted orga­niza­tion. Orga­niza­tion is the struc­tu­red proces­sing of simi­lar acti­vi­ties. Mostly crea­ted by histo­ri­cally grown proces­ses and proce­du­res. Anyone who digi­ti­zes this orga­niza­tion digi­ti­zes the past. Why does this happen so often? System chan­ges are time-consum­ing. Depen­den­cies on suppli­ers and custo­mers are large. Chan­ges are diffi­cult and have a limi­ted impact. Projects start eupho­ri­cally and end unloved.

ERP consulting cannot be simple enough

To use ERP effi­ci­ently and with maxi­mum bene­fit for your company prag­ma­tic solu­ti­ons are needed. As simple as possi­ble, but no simp­ler. ERP consul­ting iden­ti­fies what should and should not be done. Where an indi­vi­dual decis­ion is needed and where prin­ci­ples help. When exis­ting struc­tures are analy­zed with this atti­tude, it soon beco­mes clear what should be meaningfully orga­ni­zed differ­ently and what is alre­ady “good enough”. Espe­ci­ally important: take people with you. Because without a team behind it, ERP will not fulfill its promises.

Do you want to get digitization right away?

From successful digi­tiza­tion projects, I know their dyna­mics and pitfalls. My consul­ting on ERP thus has the decisive prac­ti­cal rele­vance. A well-running ERP system gives you a compass for the future. Decis­i­ons are made more trans­par­ently, proces­ses can be control­led more consciously. Corpo­rate manage­ment gets comple­tely new degrees of free­dom. How free are you?
