ERP Implementation Control – Salient Surgical Technologies
We wanted to lead and control our ERP project and not be dependent on an implementer. The Engleman Associates’ approach to manage the project significantly helped us meet this objective. A key element of this support was the early detection and resolution of insidious project problems–and in turn the avoidance of compounding problems. This greatly lowered my strain.
ERP Implementation Control – Cornell Pump Company
At the start of our ERP replacement project we had many years of legacy business processes that were visible and familiar to my team. Not as visible to my team were the better go-forward business processes and new options with modern ERP’s business intelligence, workflows, and configurability capabilities. Engleman Associates, Inc. first provided education for my team on modern ERP options and the concept of highly connected process execution across our enterprise. Then they helped us design future-state processes with a focus on current business process problems, improvement ideas, and apparently unique process we had. This pre-implementing planning significantly helped us step above the limitations of our current ERP and attachment to existing business processes and tools, and more clearly see better go-forward processes. We also increase our enthusiasm and resolve to achieve these go-forward processes.
ERP Implementation Control – Provo Craft
It was always obvious to us that our ERP project was about achieving better business process, lower costs, and better serving customers. However it was not obvious how to effectively conduct and lead this business process planning. Engleman Associates, Inc. (EAI) provided valuable assistance in how to conduct and lead this critical business process planning. Key to this assistance were techniques to focus on the approximate 20% of all future-state business processes, process exceptions, and metrics that were somewhat unusual at Provo Craft—as compared to ones more routine. This assistance made a solid contribution to our success.
ERP Implementation Control – Aplicare
Engleman Associates played a significant and positive role in helping us select and prepare to implement an ERP system that was appropriate for our business. This included educating our ERP selection team about the attributes and relevance of modern ERP. Due to the success of the selection process, we utilized Engleman Associates for pre-implementation business process planning—and other readiness activities. This preparation proved to be invaluable for our ability to control implementation costs and results. Finally, the confidence and learning gained from these services was critical to enabling the organizational change management needed to reach toward the ERP project potential.
