ERP Implementation Approaches

The following are the implementation approaches for ERP

Big Bang Approach
In this approach, ERP is implemented at one-go at all the offices of
the organisation.

Pilot Rollout
In the Pilot rollout approach, one subsidiary business unit (SBU) is
selected as the pilot and ERP is first implemented in that unit. Then
it is rolled out to other business units in a phased out manner.

Functional Rollout
In the functional rollout approach, one function like finance or
materials management is selected for implementation. Then one by one
ERP is implemented for each of the functions in the organisation.

Cross-Develop Global Prototype
In the cross-develop global prototype, a prototype is first developed
and tested. Once successful, the implementation is done for the entire
organisation.
