  1. Make sure you analyze and define business processes first; then choose the system that will work best for your organization.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t forget about training; if people don’t know how to use the system, they won’t.<\/li>\n
  3. Test the system for traffic loads that represent your actual traffic, especially during peak times.<\/li>\n
  4. Don’t buy all of your ERP systems from one vendor: A best-of-breed approach can work better because not all of one vendor’s modules may best fit your needs.<\/li>\n
  5. Don’t go live with an implementation or upgrade at a crucial time of year (higher ed: avoid the weeks before classes start; retail: avoid the weeks before Christmas).<\/li>\n
  6. Make as few modifications to the source codes possible.<\/li>\n
  7. Keep an eye on scope creep. It’s much worse on campus than in the Fortune 500.<\/li>\n
  8. Before you sign a contract with an integrator, have the integrator conduct trials with the software on your systems to see if they will mesh. It costs a bit more, but it’s worth it.<\/li>\n
  9. Use certified project managers on your staff to run the implementation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnot just the person in the room who starts taking notes at the first meeting.<\/li>\n
  10. ERP needs constant human interaction (ideally from CIOs) to keep it up and running. Ninety-five percent of getting ERP right is social and political skills; 5 percent is the actual technology.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
