Pronto ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software is a major purchase and important tool to assist in running your business. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the ‘reasons’ why you purchased your Pronto ERP system are addressed in the initial implementation process. Pronto ERP is an excellent programme, however, many businesses do not take the time to do the planning, and development of the system to maximise the benefits to be had by Pronto prior to going ‘Live’. Once the decision to purchase is made, pressure by ‘On-Sellers’ to deliver the system combined their ethos of ‘Don’t worry about your specific business requirements being addressed prior to implementation’ but leave these issues until after completion of implementation, is intense. However, this approach is never in the interests of you the purchaser. Once a system is up and running it will cost a substantial amount of money to go back and amend the ‘Live’ system setup in order to achieve the results your business wanted to achieve in the first place, and which really should have been provided for during the implementation process. Engaging the services of the ARGOLD Team will ensure that your business avoids these additional exorbitant costs by making sure that the ‘on-seller’ provides the full setup your business requires as part of the implementation process. If the ‘on-seller cannot do the necessary setup then ARGOLD Business Services will do the setup themselves at a fraction of the cost. This is our area of expertise. We ensure that the capabilities of your Pronto ERP system are realised in the best possible setup to suit your business needs now and into the future saving your company money in the long run and making employee work duties easier to perform.
ARGOLD Business Services will act as your Project Implementation Manager helping make your ERP implementation a success by providing a ERP project manager and other team members who are experienced in problem-solving, working to deadlines, ensuring a stage managed implementation process, and communicating with various departments to ensure an overall smooth implementation changeover. ARGOLD Business Services does this in three important ways:
Before the implementation or system change starts, we work with your business to know the ‘key’ objectives of the project implementation or system change right down to the reasons for purchasing specific modules. Understand how your existing system works, and if change/cleanup is required before implementation occurs. Ensure that the ‘planned’ implementation or system change can be achieved within the forecast budget, if not liaise with personnel to work out what realistically can be achieved and then make decisions. Then a detailed plan is put together on how each phase of the implementation/setup work will be achieved including deadlines. The ARGOLD Team will ensure that the focus stays on these phases. If a change is identified this is factored in and communicated to participates in the process.
ARGOLD Business services will determine where time is best spent (and by whom) which is key to moving each step along efficiently. This will keep costs within a feasible range for the business rather than finding out the ‘true’ cost of changes after it is too late to reel back the costs due to problems arising which should indeed realistically have been identified in the review/planning rather than execution stage of the business implementation.
This includes On-Sellers, needed Departments / Staff and Executives.
The ARGOLD Team will ensure any changes, progress, or lack of progress be shared with important team members. This ensures accountability, but also to discuss and make decisions on any changes, or modifications to the objectives, budgets or timing of stages before progress is critically affected.
