Why the Implementation of an ERP System might Require Business System Reengineering

Why the Implementation of an ERP System might Require Business System Reengineering

While an ERP system may be beneficial for the company in multiple ways, it has various requirements that demand a partial or complete business system reengineering. The implementation of an ERP requires vast changes in the existing business processes to ensure the compatibility of the business with the system (Jagoda & Samaranayake, 2017).

A failure of understanding the nature of the ERP system could lead to business failure. Managers should therefore adopt business system reengineering in which they would adjust the infrastructure, business processes, train staff, and perform all other operations that would help to increase the readiness of the ERP system.
