The importance of ERP implementation support for SMBs
SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) play an essential role in the global economy, but they often face specific challenges when it comes to implementing enterprise management software, business software or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). These challenges can include limited resources, tight budgets and a small team. That’s why it’s essential for small and medium-sized businesses to seek support when implementing ERP. In this article, we explore the reasons why specialist support is necessary.
Technical expertise
ERP implementation is a complex task requiring technical expertise. Many SMEs do not have the necessary skills in-house to design, customize and deploy an ERP system. Calling on an ERP partner or consultant with experience in this field can guarantee a successful system implementation.
Customization to suit business needs
Every SMB has its own specific needs and business processes. Agentil understands that every business is unique. Consequently, the team works on customizing SAP solutions to ensure that they perfectly match the specific requirements of each SME. This can include custom configuration of SAP modules, the addition of specific functionalities and the development of tailor-made integrations. Professional guidance will enable ERP to be tailored to the company’s particular needs and resources, significantly improving operational efficiency and the budget to be deployed.
Efficient project management
ERP implementation is a complex project requiring rigorous management to keep on time and on budget. SAP consultants can play a key role in project management, defining clear milestones, allocating the necessary resources and monitoring project progress.
Staff training
Once the ERP system has been implemented, it is essential to train staff – the “key users” – to use it effectively. At AGENTIL, with every implementation, we provide tailor-made training, which reduces adaptation time and maximizes user adoption of the system.
Cost optimization
Although the services of a consultant or ERP partner represent an initial investment, a successful implementation led by a company with expertise in its field reduces the risk of budget overruns, costly errors and operational disruptions.
Ongoing support
Support is not limited to initial implementation. ERP partners can offer ongoing support to resolve problems, carry out updates and adapt to changes in the business. This ensures that ERP remains a valuable resource over time. At AGENTIL, we offer functional and technical SAP support services to support our customers’ growth and needs.
Reducing risks
ERP implementation involves risks, including delays, configuration errors and compatibility problems. ERP experts can identify and mitigate these risks, minimizing potential pitfalls throughout the process.
