The first steap towards your company’s digitization
ERP analysis, or the analysis of the company’s business processes, is done before the project implementation, being a proactive operation which lowers risk factors and sets realistic goals.
The detailed business analysis is vital in the company digitization project’s success, future development perspectives being determined at this stage.
The ERP analysis process means:
Defining existing flows
Knowing and setting activity and document flows specific to the company
Company data analysis
Detailing actual data and integration necessities with other systems used within the company
Defining future work procedures
Creating a strategy by making decisions regarding the optimization of current operations
Setting implementation coordinates
Identifying necessary customizations, so that the company’s will function within optimal parameters.

The success of any digitization project greatly depends on the quality of the analysis processes within the company and the implementation consultant’s experience.
Company processes analysis steps
Diagnostic analysis
The purpose of this step is identifying the clients’ requests and to verify the solution’s compatibility with the company’s activity. Here, the consultant will give the client information relating to the requested installation method and will make recommendations regarding the related hardware and software necessities.
Preparing files for import
The success of the implementation is directly influenced by how much the client is implied and by the way he really understands how the ERP system will help. Thus, it is very important that the examples given by the SeniorERP consultants are made using the client’s data.
In order for this to be done, the client must prepare in advance all files with the data that will be imported into the ERP system. Thus, when the implementation process starts, the system will contain the client’s data, instead of a test database.
Pregatirea fisierelor de import
Conform experientei specialistilor nostri, succesul implementarii este direct influentat de implicarea clientului si de modul in care acesta intelege concret cum il va ajuta sistemul ERP. De aceea, este extrem de important ca exemplificarile realizate de consultantii SeniorERP sa fie facute pe datele clientului. Pentru ca acest lucru sa poata fi realizat, clientul trebuie sa pregateasca din timp toate fisierele cu datele care urmeaza sa fie importate in sistemul ERP: articole, parteneri, solduri, mijloace fixe, politici comerciale si nu numai. Astfel, in momentul demararii procesului de implementare, in sistem vor fi datele clientului, in locul unei baze de date de test. Sesiunile de instruire vor fi realizate cu informatii care le sunt familiare utilizatorilor, iar ei vor putea asimila si intelege mai bine fluxurile si modalitatile de lucru.
Creating the project plan
The SeniorERP consultant team creates the project plan in close collaboration with the project’s beneficiary. This will include all details that were set up in advance with the client in regards to required resources, activities that will be done and the required time.
Approving the implementation protocol
It is an official document that defines the conditions in which the implementation will take place, the obligations and responsibilities of the parts, so that goals will be reached.
Kick-off meeting
It is an final meeting where all peoeple implied in the project participate, from both the clients’ and Senior Software’s sides. Here all details required for the implementation are discussed.
