First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making
The same ERP product may differ significantly from input in the single company base sale and multi-organization manufacturing landscape. The implementation consultant needs to complete process research, basic information, authority, parameters, testing, switching and training, which are often more important than software installation.
What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?
The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.
Suggested order of advance
First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.
The budget is based on the scope of the operation and the size of the user.

Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.
The cost of renewal, upgrade and peacekeeping expansion is calculated on a three to five-year basis.

The budget table should indicate each cost, quantity, phase, tax and fees, renewal rules, change of unit price and exclusion.
