ERP, an integrated software application for business resource management not only depends on a company’s inherent ability but also that of its deployment partner and consultancy, to prove effective in today’s market.

Due to the wide variety of deployment partners, “companies should carefully consider not only the ERP software cost price but also the capacity of their partners”, said Nguyen Chi Duc, General Manager of Tectura Vietnam Co. Ltd., a specialized partner of Microsoft Corporation in Vietnam.

Many companies invest extensively in ERP deployment but their efforts come to naught due to choice of inappropriate partners.

Tan Hiep Phat Beverage Group also encountered this problem seven years ago. After six years of searching in vain for a prospective partner, the company ERP deployment found a specialized partner in SAP AG in Vietnam.

Apart from deployment partners, companies in Vietnam also take the role of ERP consultants, some notables being KPMG, Accenture, Deloitte and VinaConsulting.

A consultancy with skilled and knowledgeable consultants can provide effective strategic advice to both businesses and for technical processes. Lots of companies can’t notch up overall success in their ERP systems due to the lack of such consultancies.  

Besides external assistance, companies themselves need internal power to come up with successful ERP systems. They should have appropriate ERP solutions for their businesses that help optimize their management, operations and minimize unnecessary expenditure.

The application of ERP software in resource management is now popular among companies in Vietnam. The fruition of this application not only comes from the inherent ability of companies themselves but also the solid support of deployment partners and consultancies.
