7. Need for Comptency Center
ITis Technology
ERP is about business Operations and EPM is about Management Process
After the completion of ERP /EPM projects
implementation teams break up after go-live
business-side employees hand over all ERP responsibilities to IT
Objectives don't evolve over the software's life
Outcome :
Unable to optimize business processes that drive business benefit continually
Unable to drive process and user user competency in synchronized manner
Unable to make sense of data
This can be avoided by building a COE
Oversee continuous Process improvement, drive fact based decisions, align
Overcome execution to strategy .
an example: one company was losing thousands of dollars because a
e
manager was approving sales orders only at day's end, leaving some orders
sitting in the queue for more than 10 hours.
Trying to setup COE after go-live is often costlier and logistically tougher than
building a CoE into an implementation plan.
