Discussion of Enterprise Resource Planning in organizations
According to Hustad, Haddara and Kalvenes (2016), the ERP journey for majority of
the organizations operating within the field of business is referred to as a black hole into
which money is never seen once invested and puts forward with disappointing outcomes in
the end. For primary parts of a respective organization, an ERP implementation project is a
common procedure of installing newer features or upgrading a computer system for better
results of business. The entire impact of such decisions taken before the particular software
purchase may end up in having a major impact upon the overall outcome of the project
(Hasan et al. 2018). In reference to majority of the business organizations the primary
objective to convert the ERP related software to that of a belief, which states that the project
is already completed and that at any stage will place forward with results of the same. The
real scenario in this regard is that declaring a specific project complete way before its actual
completion is a common thinking of such organizations, which have gone through difficult
situations during the procedures of project delays, software modifications, budget overruns as
well as internal disruption. Once the proposed system has been turned on, it is specifically
visible that the work right before a successful completion of the respective project was not
done properly (Pontoh et al. 2019). The primary impact of such shortcuts taken during the
development of the system right before the step of implementation is expected to come back
with devastating consequences that might have a major effect upon the long run of the
respective business organization in particular.
Live running is considered to be one of such stages during the overall ERP project as
well as declaring the project over during the implementation or the designing phase of the
real time system. However, in real a lot of work is still left for the organization such as the
like of tidying up the issue that had not been considered or might have been ignored during
the initial phases that requires completion at the current situation of the company to save it
