The following are the components of value creation using precision configuration contrasted with the traditional approach to ERP configuration:

Value drivers of Precision Configuration
|
Traditional ERP Configuration
|
|
1
|
The Precision Configuration approach demands critical thinking about the precise definition of the business which results in value adding use of the system
|
The conventional approach tolerates and encourages sloppy thinking and results in consultants who never really understand the business
|
|
2
|
Requires precise analysis of software setting options ensuring optimum use of the software
|
Sloppy thinking results in teams that never really understand how the software works
|
|
3
|
Provides a logical mechanism to rapidly configure products, customers, etc in fine detail facilitating maximum automated processing
|
Lack of logic and structure in the master data results in time wasting and imprecise product, etc configuration
|
|
4
|
Maximizes use of inherent software features maximizing effective use of the software including optimal configuration of workflow (process), etc
|
Clumsy configuration results in large parts of the software being sub-optimally used and also results in large amounts of unnecessary custom development, including numerous spreadsheets
|
|
5
|
Maximizes ease of use of the software resulting in improved speed and accuracy of posting, etc
|
Posting is sloppy and inaccurate and time consuming, lots of errors
|
|
6
|
Opens the door for small pieces of clever custom development and unconventional use of standard modules
|
Lots of roughly designed and built add-ons, lots of Excel spreadsheets
|
|
7
|
Supports optimized strategic and operational governance resulting in improved delegation and enhanced accountability through accurate modelling of the business
|
Increased overhead in the use of the system and inefficiencies hinder effective governance
|
|
8
|
Enables a rich diversity of standard reports to be produced before commencement of live operation allowing greatly improved management decision making
|
Even simple reports are time consuming to build and difficult to maintain with ongoing high maintenance costs and effort
|
|
9
|
Enables the production of rich multi-dimensional query facilities in the Business Intelligence environment improving business analysis and effectiveness and efficiency of operations
|
Such complex query facilities are almost impossible to develop and what is developed if of limited value
|
|
10
|
Greatly simplifies the production of rich business specific economic and other models supporting high end strategic and operational analysis
|
In most cases the business is not aware that such analysis is possible and attempts at advanced analysis usually end in failure or are extremely clumsy
|
|
11
|
Overall, at all levels of the business the system configuration facilitates greatly improved decision making resulting in greatly improved competitiveness and profitability
|
Typical installations hardly facilitate real high value decision making and frequently hinder it
|
There are dramatic differences between the two methods of ERP implementation.
