Data system for improving business efficiency

Stages and timing of implementation
The implementation project starts with a correct and competent formulation of the goals and objectives. This determines the success of the project. Implementing an information system is not the goal. Increasing the speed of document processing is not an objective either. Implementing an information system to increase the speed of document processing by 25% is an objective. It should be clearly stated and have a specific scope, not vague and undefined.

The implementation of ERP-class systems is a step-by-step process that can take from several months to a year and a half. According to Magenta Favorita software development managers, the final success depends on how you go through each stage.

An ERP system is a comprehensive software solution that integrates all of a company's business processes: from financial management and accounting to production, logistics and sales management.

It makes it possible to automate processes in the company, reduce the time needed to carry out operations, improve the quality of work and increase the efficiency of the company as a whole. With its help, the management can get complete information about the current situation in the company in real time and make quick decisions based on objective data.

ERP systems have become a necessity for modern companies of any size that want to be successful and competitive in the market. Implementation of an ERP-class system in the company's activities allows to build a comprehensive information system for effective management of activities in the digital economy. However, the implementation process has its own peculiarities and problems. Magenta Favorita specialists told us how to do it as efficiently as possible.

Indicative stages of implementation:

1. Organisational. Define project goals, objectives, timelines and budget. Forecast problems and risks that may arise during the development, implementation and use of the system.
2. audit the company's business processes. It is necessary to determine the extent to which your business areas are ready for automation. It may be necessary to optimise business processes, change structure, revise approaches to work organisation before starting ERP implementation.
3. Information system design and development. At this stage, the customer needs a thorough and long immersion in the project. Specialists of the company for which the ERP is being developed must be freed from their core business as much as possible and devote their time to creating the system together with the developers.
4. Preparing for the launch. The first step is testing. This can be done either on a fully functional model or on individual blocks; on the full set of data or on a test sample. After testing, changes can be made to the project to improve it or to eliminate defects.
5. Immediately prior to go-live, the system needs to be populated with regulatory and reference information, initial data, user manuals and user training. When all these steps have been completed, the documents are handed over to the customer.
6. System commissioning and post-project support. If any problems are detected during operation, they are resolved depending on their severity: immediately or postponed until the next system update.
