Day 3 Lesson Learned

There are three approach to automate business processes:

1. Keep legacy:
2. Best of breed solutions
3. ERP
4. In house development

What should be the time for doing a Gap Analysis? First we should make a SWOT analysis for the current situation without defining a specific solution. After that should make gap analysis for different solutions.

There is an order to make an implementation:

1. Workshop to learn different solutions
2. Curent State SWOT
3. Requirement Anlaysis SWOT
4. Options (ERP solutions)
2. Sales guys comes and make presentations
3. Internet search
4. Other companies that implemented
5. Ask creative questions
   
1. Is there any enough consultants
2. Is there any other fee
3. Does it do this...
4. Do I need to make customization

There are some good and bad sides of Best of breed solutions

1. It may be cheaper or expensive than a single solution
2. Finding consultants that knows the two sides of the integration points is difficult
3. Upgrades of one of them may require upgrade of the integration implementations.

We can understand that if the company did its homework or not, when we look at the documentation that defines the business processes.

Implementing a system is not important if it is not used properly. In a CRM solution implementation, sales people do not want to enter their sales data to the system.

• Sales people do not want to share
• Sales people use personal relations
• Entering sales data to the system is not easy, since it is not a formatted data.
