Manufacturing enterprise resource planning software implementation is no easy task, even for firms with extensive information technology resources. With this in mind, prospective E-R-P adopters must carefully sketch out their implementation roadmaps and embrace proven solution design and deployment schemes. The agile methodology, which resembles the lean manufacturing strategy and is used by an estimated 94 percent of businesses worldwide, is perhaps the most effective. Why?

Implementation teams leveraging agile workflows build out E-R-P platforms in piecemeal fashion, designing, testing and perfecting their solutions one component at a time. Many even carry this approach over into system management activities, using the idea of continuous improvement, the driving notion behind the agile strategy, to keep E-R-P software running smoothly.

Manufacturers looking to implement E-R-P systems would be wise to embrace this methodology. They should also consider connecting with a trusted solution provider like Accent E-R-P, a certified Microsoft Business Solutions partner with decades of experience implementing Dynamics NAV.
