Dynamics 365 ERP - General

The article discusses the essential points and main ideas for implementing a new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, specifically focusing on finance solutions.
Establishing a strong project team is crucial, which includes key business representatives, an executive sponsor, a project manager, and representatives of all key business groups involved in the project.
Clear and realistic requirements should be defined, aligned with the business goals and processes, and considering non-functional aspects such as data quality, security, and compliance.
Choosing an ERP system that fits the needs and budget of the organization is important, considering not only the implementation costs but also the ongoing operation costs of licensing and support.
The implementation is an opportunity to optimize business processes and workflows, introducing better and more efficient processes to the organization rather than just adapting existing ones.
Change management is essential to address resistance and challenges among employees and stakeholders. Communicating the benefits and expectations of the ERP system, providing training and support, and encouraging feedback and input from users are recommended.
Establishing a strong foundation and maintaining broad business engagement and alignment will increase the chances of success and allow for the realization of the return on investment and better support for the overall business strategy.
