Change management is a process that guides employees through the changes associated with an ERP implementation. It involves identifying potentially negative effects of the rollout, addressing these issues before they become problems, and communicating clearly with employees to make sure that they understand the changes and are comfortable with them.

Some best practices for successfully implementing an ERP include setting clear goals and expectations, involving employees in the implementation process, providing training and developing resources to support employees during this transition, and recognizing both positive and negative feedback from users.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your ERP rollout goes smoothly and that you have a happy, engaged workforce that’s ready to take advantage of the system’s powerful capabilities.
