Planning for your ERP Implementation

What is ERP Planning?

Organizations are often delighted to discover the proactive steps they can take in advance to significantly enhance the success of their ERP implementations.

Ultimately, organizations with successful ERP implementations aren’t just lucky—they are well-prepared.

 

To ensure a smooth transition and successful deployment, this planning phase weaves together 3 elements:

  1. Strategic planning (your master blueprint)

  2. Requirement analysis (understanding exactly what you'll need)

  3. Resource allocation (making sure you have all your pieces in place)

It's like unveiling a new symphony – you wouldn't lead your orchestra on-stage without carefully composing the music and holding rehearsals, would you?

Pre-implementation services ensure every participant knows their part and how it fits into the greater whole.

Pre-planning with Legato is like implementation failure insurance.

Life with Legato

Institutional readiness

Tools to stay on-time and on-budget

Institution requirements met by vendor

Project team feeling confident and prepared 

Clean data prepared for migration

Life without Legato

Wasted money and time

Lost credibility among internal stakeholders

Poor data and system reliability

Insufficient staffing and project team

Inappropriate vendor selection

Unmet institutional requirements

Stakeholder and user resistance

Think of Legato as Implementation Failure Insurance. 

How do implementation's fail? 

The success of an ERP implementation is determined by an organization's level of preparedness before it even begins.  

​When failures do happen, in our experience, it's the result of inadequate pre-implementation planning and unrealistic expectations.

This is so easily avoidable when you have access to experienced counsel who is on your side.
