Outsourcing ERP: Choosing the Right Vendor
Choosing the ERP vendor is the make or break step in the ERP development effort. Hence it is important to carefully evaluate the potential vendors on the following criteria:
- Cost and Quality
Cost is definitely a big factor in deciding the right ERP outsourcing vendor, but monitory benefit must be weighed in against the quality constraints. A shoddily done ERP will in longer run burn down to higher budgets only
- Workforce
The ERP vendor should have the required manpower: in expertise as well as in numbers. They should have the right skill set to be able to gel in well with your in-house employees
- Technology Criteria
The ERP vendor must have the technology expertise as per your requirements. The current infrastructure of the company must be considered while deciding on the technical options in ERP
- CustomizationsThe ERP vendor should be open to customization suggested by you and should have the maturity to take a call on when the ERP customization will be truly beneficial.
- Track recordA good implementation history and positively endorsing clients is the biggest reason to trust a vendor on its claims. It is important to check references for the quality of services offered by the vendor in the past.
