Implementation of an ERP system under independent supervision

Successfully selecting an ERP system is only the first step. The true results will become apparent only during implementation, when the new system is integrated with the company’s processes, data, people, and day-to-day operations.

AppliCon IT helps companies manage the implementation of ERP systems by providing expert support on the client side. We help establish a clear project plan, continuously assess risks, manage changes, and verify that the implementation is leading to measurable results.

Why ERP Implementations Often Fail

The most common causes of problems include unclear requirements, poor project management, underestimating the scope of data migration, insufficient testing, uncontrolled changes, and a lack of user readiness. That is precisely why it is important to keep the implementation under control at all times.

Our Role in ERP Implementation

AppliCon IT acts as an independent consultant on the client’s side. We help manage the project, review deliverables, assess risks, and ensure that the implementation aligns with the agreed-upon objectives, scope, timeline, and budget.

Our Implementation and Optimization Methodology

We view ERP implementation as a managed project that must have a clear plan, defined risks, optimized key processes, and measurable goals.

This phase includes:

  • definition of potential project risks,
  • definition of the project plan,
  • definition and optimization of the main process,
  • definitions of key functionalities, such as production planning, ATP, and other areas,
  • evaluation of the individual phases of the project,
  • defining and managing project changes,
  • ensuring quality, delivery dates, and price,
  • measuring and evaluating the goals achieved.

The goal is for the implementation to be more than just a system rollout—it should be a managed change that adds value.

Reimplementation or Rescue of a Running Project

We also provide assistance in situations where implementation is already underway but the project is not progressing as expected. Typically, these situations involve delays, rising costs, an unclear scope of work, data issues, user dissatisfaction, or a loss of trust between the client and the vendor.

In such a situation, we first help identify the root cause of the problem in order to stabilize the project, clarify priorities, and determine the next steps.

Who Is This Service Intended For?

This service is intended for companies that are implementing a new ERP system and want to ensure the project is under professional supervision. It is also suitable for companies that have already begun implementation but are encountering complications or are not meeting their original expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why Is Independent Oversight Necessary During ERP Implementation?

ERP implementation affects processes, data, people, and the day-to-day management of a company. Independent oversight helps safeguard the client’s interests, ensure the quality of deliverables, and monitor project deadlines, budgets, and risks.

Ideally, before implementation begins or right at the start. However, we can also help once the project is already underway and delays, cost overruns, or ambiguities regarding the scope of work begin to arise.

We verify that the project aligns with the agreed-upon objectives, scope, schedule, and quality standards. We monitor risks, the project plan, change management, phase deliverables, core processes, key functionality, and the achievement of established objectives.

No, AppliCon IT does not replace an implementation vendor or assume its responsibility for delivering the system. We help clients manage the project, monitor deliverables, formulate requirements, and assess the impact of decisions.

Yes, first we’ll help you figure out why the project is stalling. The goal doesn’t necessarily have to be replacing the system right away, but rather stabilizing the project, setting priorities, managing changes, and proposing next steps.

Often, the issues stem from inadequate analysis, unclear requirements, poor project management, underestimation of data needs, insufficient testing, or poorly managed changes. An ERP project typically fails not just because of the technology, but because of poorly defined processes, expectations, and decisions.

The result is a better-managed and more closely monitored project. Specifically, this may include a project plan, a risk register, milestone tracking, change management, acceptance criteria, project status reports, and an evaluation of the goals achieved.
