OpenERP has recently gained a lot of heat and interest around Malaysia and Singapore , where we have been contacted by many clients for information , from a few success site implementations in Kota kinabalu , Kuching , Singapore , JB, KL and Penang , we have come to believe a few principles as part of our learning process to adopt a flexible agile project management methodology , a lot of Proprietary ERP vendor or integrator feeling more comfortable with Waterfall style project management methodology and younger generation , OpenERP style promote Agile style project management , we used both and actually both has its pro and con , but there is some principles that whether is Waterfall or Agile that can guide implementation of OpenERP for Regional SME in Malaysia and Singapore ,
( a Top down approach and full committed support from Client’s management and off course how can we miss out COST right , this is no Off the sheft Accounting package and company must be willing to spend on consultation services or at least have budgeted it to at least a 30% less than any Propitiatory ERP ,which usually is the License cost but the OpenERP consultation services are NOT cheaper than Propitiatory ERP services , OpenERP is open source , free but consultation services is the same . )
2. Company readiness
( department , users and data readiness )
( knowledge of the ERP system , knowledge of the Business process for different industries, knowledge of the platform & technologies etc )
( i must say with all the above + half of item 4 experiences but without character is a risk to the project , as project manager may be competence but do not know how to interact , when to pull break , which can be flexible or what priorities to focus , this are serious problem isn’t ,
