Implementation Approaches

The following are the implementation approaches for ERP


  • Big Bang Approach

In this approach, ERP is implemented at one-go at all the offices of the organisation.


  • Pilot Rollout

In the Pilot rollout approach, one subsidiary business unit (SBU) is selected as the pilot and ERP is first implemented in that unit. Then it is rolled out to other business units in a phased out manner.


  • Functional Rollout

In the functional rollout approach, one function like finance or materials management is selected for implementation. Then one by one ERP is implemented for each of the functions in the organisation.


  • Cross-Develop Global Prototype


In the cross-develop global prototype, a prototype is first developed and tested. Once successful, the implementation is done for the entire organisation
