Added value of reliable Management Reporting? Share

How many ERP projects do achieve the goals initially set?

Over the past 20 years many companies have invested in the implementation of standard ERP and other business applications.

These implementations have often been executed under high time pressure and budget restrictions to fulfil a first series of objectives. These implementations have also been executed with a mindset of 'getting as much and as quickly as possible implemented' without paying sufficient attention which concepts to consider.'Best practises' do not always appear to be that 'best practice'. Solutions still appear to be sub-optimal, or too much limited to automation of what already existed.

Too many ERP systems are 'average' and are not at the appropriate level for satisfactory support of the business. These systems primarily focus on operational flows. In absence of clarity regarding underlying concepts, those ERP systems have continuously been adjusted in response to an ever changing reality. These systems do no longer have the inherent consistency for reliable reporting.

As a result of this, organizations continue to loose valuable time to get the right infomation for steering the business.

Granted, thanks to the implementation, the organization has often grown in maturity. The higher maturity now gives an opportunity to improve and to leverage on the investment for reaching a higher level of performance.
