13 Common ERP Mistakes You Should Avoid
Over at ERP Software Blog, MIBAR.net has shared an article from ITWorld.com about 13 Common ERP Mistakes that we should avoid.
It’s indeed a comprehensive list.
Below are the points, which are elaborated in that article:
- Poor Planning
- Improper ERP Vendors Vetting
- Not understanding / using Key Features
- Underestimating Time & Resources Required
- Not having right people on team from the start
- Not setting priorities
- Not investing in training & change management
- Underestimating the importance of accurate data
- Taking the kitchen sink approach
- Not decommissioning legacy applications
- Not having an active load testing environment
- Ignoring Third-Party support alternatives
- Not having a maintenance strategy
And I would like to add one further mistake:
- Keep on changing requirements in the middle of actual implementation
OR
- Implementation without a concrete Sign-Off document
I believe the above list pretty much completes the most common mistakes that we might make in an ERP implementation.

Microsoft Dynamics GP10 Service Pack 5 – Available Now
Details of this release is available on David’s, Mariano’s & Jivtesh’s articles, respectively:
1. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Pack 5 - David
2. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Pack 5 now Available – Mariano
3. GP 10.0 SP5 is Out (with lots of AA Fixes) – Jivtesh
David & Jivtesh details us about the core fixes or changes in SP5.
One important point that I have to highlight is: The Incompatibility of SP5 to get upgraded to GP2010 RTM. We have to wait till GP2010 SP1.
People who are planning for a GP2010 Upgrade must tread caution before applying this patch. Go thru’ the SP release notes and FAQs to make sure you really need it for your GP10 environment till you move on to GP2010.
