What do you do if your existing infrastructure is not compatible with innovative ERP systems?

1. Assessment and Analysis: Conduct a thorough evaluation of your current infrastructure to identify specific areas that are incompatible with innovative ERP systems. This analysis should cover hardware, software, data structures, and integration capabilities. 2. Upgrade and Integration: Invest in upgrading or replacing outdated components of your infrastructure to align with the requirements of modern ERP systems. This may involve hardware upgrades, software updates, or implementing middleware. 3. Customization and Adaptation: Work with ERP vendors or third-party consultants to customize the ERP system or develop integrations that bridge the gap between your existing infrastructure and the innovative ERP solution.

A implementação por ondas é uma prática criada a muitos anos e já vi funcionando bem em vários projetos. Muitas vezes se define os processos críticos, e busca soluções intermediarias/provisorias, por exemplo: 1 - O sistema A, não tem a possibilidade de ser integrado utilizando API ou similar, apenas reports txt. Uma possibilidade nesse caso, é utilizar ferramentas que gerem automações para a extração desses relatórios e crie chamadas para o novo ERP. 2 - O sistema atual (on-premise) não precisa de internet para funcionar, porém existem unidades de negócio que a conexão é instável. Uma possibilidade para resolver isso, é manter ou colocar uma solução on-premise que se integra quando há disponibilidade de conexão ao ERP na nuvem por exemplo.

A same ERP available on-premise and in the cloud with quite different features between the two versions is an indication that the cloud version was developed from scratch for the cloud environment. The cloud native ERP system is built to keep pace with technological innovations. If it is determined that this cloud-based ERP is at least as good as the on-premise ERP in terms of features, configuration, availability, latency, security and privacy, then it is an appropriate option for an innovative ERP system.

Today, ERP cloud solutions provide an agile and cost-effective alternative to modernize systems without compromising quality and security. They offer us many positive things such as flexibility, adaptability, scaling, in addition to almost always accompanying a more controlled and smaller investment. Another very important point in favor is to outsource maintenance and update management.

It is a very critical process, we must plan its import in the best way to ensure the integrity and validity of the data. We have to identify the sources and data, ensure that they are clean in the sense that there are no duplicates, or dirty data with invalid information. It must be planned and executed a few times before being finalized, the migration must be tested, and it must be reviewed in detail by users

Reengineering allows you to improve efficiency and productivity, and also drive digital transformation and new business opportunities for an organization. With the implementation of an ERP comes directly an analysis of the organization's process flows, we have to answer questions such as the following: are they correct? Can they be improved? Can they be changed? This means that we have to manage the change in parallel, which will allow us to minimize resistance and facilitate adoption.

Proper training ensures a smooth transition and successful adoption to the new ERP. We have to provide employees with all the necessary training so that they can approach their activities in the best way. We have to offer various training formats and schedules so that the entire team has several possibilities. In addition, we have to ensure we have complete and updated documentation to refer to when we have questions or incidents. Feedback from staff about these trainings is important. And last but not least, identifying post-implementation training or support is also necessary to address from day one.
