I know that everyone whole-heartedly agrees that having a well-defined ERP implementation scope statement is strategic to success. However, there are few articles or other resources that provide detailed guidance on building scope statements.
Let’s us go through an analogy together. You are the customer and I am the consultant working with you to develop some software changes for your packaged software. As the consultant I can take two approaches for gathering requirements:
Every customer I assisted in their ERP implementation wanted an ERP solution that would be flexible and adaptable. One of the key challenges and disappointments customers have with ERP are around flexibility and adaptability. We also need to address the common misinterpretations associated with the concepts of a flexible and adaptable ERP solution.
I am very excited about Cloud ERP and the potential opportunities for customers, however, I like to speak to the minority opinion for a balanced discussion. Just as ERP was deemed the panacea for all business automation pains, Cloud ERP is positioned as a revolutionary approach to deploying an ERP solution.

Het toepassen van Scrum is in 1986 op de Universiteit van Harvard uitgedacht door Hirotaka Takeuchi en Ikujiro Nonaka. Scrum is een term uit het rugby waarbij een team probeert een afstand te overbruggen als een eenheid en ondertussen de bal heen en weer passt. Deze techniek hebben ze vertaald in hun artikel “The New New Product Development Game” naar een nieuwe methode om producten te ontwikkelen.
