Project management of ERP projects

Years of experience in managing ERP system implementation projects allow us to provide professional and effective project management on the client side.

The goal is to create conditions for meeting the agreed scope, quality, budget, and project schedule. By actively managing risks, change requests, and dependencies between individual areas, we simultaneously help prevent unnecessary implementation delays, additional costs, and the growth of future costs for system operation and support.

We can join the project as a project manager responsible for its leadership or in a Quality Assurance role, which ensures independent control of the project progress and the quality of its outputs.

When independent management or oversight of an ERP project makes sense

The involvement of AppliCon IT is particularly suitable in situations where a company:

  • lacks sufficient internal capacity to lead the ERP project,
  • needs to coordinate the internal team and the system vendor,
  • wants to have continuous control over scope, deadlines, costs, and quality,
  • needs to set clear roles, responsibilities, and decision-making powers,
  • is dealing with a high number of change requests,
  • needs to identify and manage project risks in a timely manner,
  • wants to independently verify the quality of the vendor’s outputs,
  • is implementing a large-scale or complicated ERP project,
  • needs to stabilize an implementation that is no longer proceeding according to plan.

Our role in an ERP project

Project management

In the role of project manager, we manage the project on the client side. We coordinate the involved teams, monitor schedule fulfillment, manage risks and changes, and prepare documentation for steering committee decision-making.

Quality Assurance

In the QA role, we independently monitor the project management method, the progress of individual stages, and the quality of submitted outputs. We identify risks and deviations and provide management with objective information about the actual status of the project.

We always determine the scope of responsibility according to the client’s needs, the project organization, and the division of competencies between the internal team and the vendor.

Frequently asked questions about ERP project management

What is the difference between the Project Manager and QA roles?

The project manager actively leads the project and coordinates its participants. QA performs independent oversight, monitors the progress and outputs of the project, and alerts management to risks and deviations.

No. The vendor’s project manager is responsible for managing the delivery on their side. AppliCon IT represents the client’s interests, coordinates their activities, and checks whether the delivery corresponds to the agreed conditions and project goals.

Yes. If the client has their own project leadership, we can act solely in a QA role and provide management with an independent assessment of the project progress.

The greatest benefit comes from involvement before the start of implementation or at its beginning, when the project organization, roles, responsibilities, and control mechanisms can be correctly set. We can also join a project that is already underway.

Yes. First, we assess the current status, main risks, open tasks, and division of responsibilities. Subsequently, we propose a method for project stabilization and further management.

According to the established management model, we prepare regular reporting on the project status, risks, changes, open decisions, and fulfillment of key milestones.

Do you need professional management or independent control of an ERP project?

We can take over project leadership on the client side or provide independent QA oversight of its progress and outputs. We will help set clear responsibilities, manage risks and changes, and keep the project in line with its goals, scope, budget, and schedule.
