Making ERP System User Friendly
ERP is often not conceived as a user friendly software tool. It creates an image of giant software that is unfathomable and highly complex that entirely controls the organization function. As prevalent as these notions are, it is equally important that the employees comfortable with using the ERP software. The comfort levels surely show on resource efficiency and hence as higher revenues.
Below are some measures that will allow ERP users to have a better perception of the ERP software tools:
- User Training:
This is easily the most crucial step easing out the user in using the ERP system. The training material should be written in a way that even a layman understands his/her role and utility of the ERP application for him/her. It is easy for employees to dread the ERP system and hence steps must be taken like simple demonstrations by ERP consultants. The aim should be that the employees master the art of operating their concerned processes. A failure in this will convert to an overall ERP implementation failure.
- ERP panels participation:
Employees and regular business users should be made a part of the ERP panels so that they can throw light on the problems faced by them and their expectations from the ERP implementations. This is a very enlightening process for the ERP vendor consultants as well because several hidden issues are brought to light in this way.
- System alterations: Constant system alterations must be done to ensure that the revisions make the ERP system even more user-friendly. The user interface designing needs process must take care of these goals. The implementation will be done after feasibility studies by the vendor ERP consultants
