3 ERP implementation issues manufacturers might encounter [Video]

Implementing an ERP is a complex process with little margin for error. Here are some of the common implementation challenges to look out for.

First, setting up a project management team must be done carefully. Pick a project manager who can set and enforce clear deadlines, work well with a diverse team of employees and ensure proper communication between all stakeholders.

Second, legacy data can be tricky to integrate. Make data quality a priority, so you can identify and address discrepancies as older databases are integrated.

Finally, be sure to test thoroughly. Inadequate testing could put you at the mercy of incompatible apps, security vulnerabilities and permissions errors.
