ERP Readiness Assessment

The pre-implementation evaluation that determines whether a company’s operational infrastructure is sufficiently mature to benefit from ERP implementation. 

ERP readiness requires documented and stable core processes (processes that are still changing frequently should not be encoded in an ERP), clean and consistent data (ERP implementations on dirty data produce operational chaos), and leadership commitment to the process disruption of a 12–18 month implementation.

Companies that implement an ERP before achieving readiness consistently produce failed implementations.
