Over the years rapid deployment methodologies have evolved to address the age-old problems: ERP projects can take too long and cost too much. In its purest sense, rapid deployment focuses on compressing the project timeline by employing several project management strategies. While at times these strategies should be used when managing any ERP project, it is the degree and emphasis placed on them that sets rapid deployment apart from the more traditional approach.

When it comes to ERP systems, the word “customization” is one of the most dreaded terms that an executive hears. In fact, I would estimate that at least 90-percent of Panorama’s ERP selection clients indicate a strong preference for zero or no customization. In other words, most CIOs and CFOs want to use the system out of the box without making any changes to the software code. There will always be configuration and personalization, which every ERP implementation requires, but when it comes to heavy-duty changes to the software, most executives don’t want to hear about it.
Why aren’t more companies demand-driven? I had an eye opening discussion with the SVP of supply chain management at a multi-billion dollar company the other day, and together we tallied up the number of systems under his watch. In less than 5 minutes we came up with over 20! I thought it would be an interesting exercise to turn our discussion into a “Coordination Quiz”.
