Change management: Building a Case for Cloud-Based ERP
Whether you’re considering a transition to a new ERP system, moving from one ERP system to another, upgrading your current ERP system or migrating it to the cloud, the right talent and technology can make a world of difference on your journey.
Yet it’s no small feat to hit the ground running with a successful system and a strategy to leverage operational data. It requires careful planning, resource and budget allocation and infrastructure utilization audits, all handled by assigning explicit ownership of information and processes.
A recent Deloitte report cites 10 common barriers to ERP implementation, and the top five all relate to change management:
- Resistance to change
- Inadequate sponsorship
- Unrealistic expectations
- Poor project management
- Lack of a compelling case for change
CIOs everywhere have flagged these challenges as requiring leadership buy-in and methodical planning.
