1. Utgå från affärsstrategin
Börja med att definiera vilka affärsmål ERP-investeringen ska stödja. Är fokus tillväxt, kostnadseffektivitet, skalbarhet eller regelefterlevnad? ERP ska inte vara ett IT-projekt – det ska vara ett verktyg för att nå affärsstrategiska mål.

2. Kartlägg processer och behov
Dokumentera nuläge och önskat läge för kärnprocesser (t.ex. order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, planering, rapportering mm). Identifiera gap, automatiseringspotential och vilka krav som är kritiska – funktionellt och tekniskt. Sätt mål för hur mycket bättre ni vill bli inom respektive process.

3. Säkerställ teknisk och organisatorisk passform
Bedöm vilken ERP-arkitektur som passar er bäst: standardiserat SaaS, modulärt, branschspecifikt eller hybridlösning. Väg in faktorer som användarvänlighet (men uttryck det mer konkret än så), integrationer, datamodell och framtida utvecklingsförmåga. Tänk på om er data måste bevaras inom EU då det blir en viktig parameter i val av system.

Ett framgångsrikt ERP-val kräver ett strukturerat urval baserat på affärsmål, processkrav och förmåga till implementering. Tänk långsiktigt, välj pragmatiskt och sätt affären – inte tekniken – i centrum.
