HRM 3400 Lecture 34 Notes – Difficulty in Loading Data into New ERP System and Difficulty
Integrating with Other Systems
Introduction
• These changes can be so drastic to long-time employees that they retire or quit rather
than go through the change.
• This exodus can leave a firm short of experienced workers.
• Sometimes, the best practices simply are not appropriate for the firm and cause great
work disruptions.
Difficulty Integrating with Other Systems
• Most companies have other systems that must be integrated with the ERP system, such
as financial analysis programs, e-commerce operations, and other applications.
• Many companies have experienced difficulties making these other systems operate with
their ERP system.
• Other companies need additional software to create these links.
Difficulty in Loading Data into New ERP System
• A major amount of work is required to load existing data from various sources into the
new ERP database.
• The new ERP system may have the capability to store hundreds or even thousands of
data items (e.g. customer name, bill to address, product description, etc.).
• The data items that will be required depend on the scope of ERP implementation.
• If certain processes or transactions are not included within the scope of
implementation, there will be less data to load.
• Data mapping is the examination of each data item required for the new ERP system
and determining where that data item will come from.
