Challenges in implementing of ERP/ Digital
processes
Limited Digital Awareness
SMEs has a limited awareness regarding the capabilities of an ERP system. They have confusion on which ERP vendor to trust. This lack of awareness mostly affects the growth of the business.
Misconception
It is a misconception among SMEs that ERP software is only for large scale businesses due to the high cost of possession, the complication of implementation and following maintenance costs.
Lack of Resources
Lack of resources is another major problem faced by SMEs. Not many skilled IT personnel can provide suitable suggestions and proper navigation to the implementation team. Due to the lack of trained employees, ERP implementation seems a burden to SMEs.
They might outsource an ERP consultant. But that leads to more expenditure.
However, once an ERP solution is implemented, it ensures that the company uses the resources better.
Financial worries
SMEs might have budget restrictions, so the accounts department may decide to cut the cost of ERP implementation to save money. But it is often forgotten that ERP implementation is actually a capital investment in favour of the business. ERP system helps to support and grow the business beyond its current limits.
Employee resistance
An ERP implementation brings major changes within the organization. ERP systems bring a systematic workflow, a strict work environment. This in turn can make the employees panicked and resistant against the change.
