HP Case
HP introduced the My SAP because it offered various benefits over the previous software
which is as follows:
1. It enabled all programs to be run on single browser
2. It had the query option which would make it easier to use
3. There is a reduction in IT costs
4. It would provide greater speed in implementation
5. It would improve forecasting and hence increase transparency
The reasons for failure of implementation of ERP are as follows:
1. There was a problem of communication between the various teams.
2. There was lack of effective product training and improper product data
management led to problems between the legacy system and the new SAP system.
3. The system has been tested only for standardises orders and not for customised
orders. The contingency plan being an expanded version of an old plan used for earlier
migrations failed to deal with these issues.
4. It was not able to forecast the demand for customized products nor was the
existing capacity good enough to handle additional orders.
5. Inadequate Implementation Support/Training - The IT personnel did not have
adequate time to develop their skills for the new system.
