ERP vendors play an important role in successful implementation

Agility is the watchword WE have, time and again emphasized the importance of having ERP system to

run businesses in successful way in today's competitive economic market. As there are number of big

and small ERP vendors in the Indian ERP market, selection of a proper system that suits your business

needs are very important. [http://www.eresourceerp.com/erp-vendors.html]To place the matterstraight forward, what the decision makers must understand is having an ERP system just can't help your

business process. It is very important to implement an ERP system with good ERP vendor support.

A rightfully conducted ERP workshop could provide you the guidelines of what your requirements and

expectations should be, including hands-on experience with the most successful ERP solutions and

details of ERP vendors available in India today.

ERP workshop conducted by ERP Vendors can also empower CEOs, COOs, CFOs, accountants,

controllers, business owners and key decision-makers with ERP technology concepts.

CRM or Customer Relationship Management, the backbone of any business has been integrated as animportant module in the ERP system. Sales and marketing teams from companies can benefit from

attending the workshop that will help them gain knowledge in marketing plans. The knowledge gained

through from workshop can put into practice by the sales or marketing team with the approach to the

customers that could help improve your revenue and market share growth and minimize expenses - all

of which leads to higher profitability. The workshop will also debate on all areas of an ERP system, its

advantages and disadvantages.

When it comes to benefits of ERP there are many arenas which are unknown to many. ERP expects

boundary-less flat organization structure where every employee is a decision maker and not a mere

follower. Secondly, the decision-making must be scientific than based on 'gut feel'. Thirdly, ERP assumesthat the user has an in-depth knowledge of the process he is associated with. He has to work in a team

as a key resource element. The objective of the user is to pass maximum value to the customer than to

create his own convenience. The user must be analytical in his thinking and be able to use information

generated through data iterations for more effective and informed decisions.

ERP system will work successfully if the users are training to handle the system to the optimum usage.

Proper training makes the users fully equipped with handling of the system independently and this will

contribute the success of all the business operations.

The ERP Vendors or solution provider must pay attention while providing training to the user in the right

manner. To become a good user, one has to get trained and trained well, and later self trained. But what

is the disappointing factor is most of the ERP training in India is more of software training rather than

going deeply into the functionality and technicality of the ERP system. Normally the user is shown

various screens of the ERP system and taught how to enter what he was doing previously.

2/5

The ERP Vendors must explain to the user why he should enter there, what are the repercussions of his

entries in other modules, how to use the best out of multiple settings, why a particular setting is made

like that, etc. In fact, the reality that every entry is the financial entry and ultimately gets posted into

General Ledger and posted in turn into Profit & Loss Account or Balance Sheet is never realized by the

user during training or even after implementation. This feel of responsibility is extremely essential for

the user to become a mature ERP user.

To enhance the interest of users Indian companies must make a point of user training, focusing on ERP

functionalities and not merely on tools for ERP. Ideally, the training session should be designed to cater

to individual needs and hence carefully planned. ERP workshop will have a separate session to discuss

and elaborate the training method of ERP extensively.

Looking at the way it is getting organized, the workshop on ERP at Wagle Estate in Thane, will be very

informative and useful event for the people who are connected with IT world. We are also eagerly

looking forward to that event..
