Assessment or diagnostic projects can be compared to a car inspection where driver’s requirements (business processes), the existing and to-be car states (source and target software) are examined. The purpose of assessments is to help analyze and document the source (existing) business processes and ERP system(s) and how these can be improved. The advantage of starting an ERP implementation journey with an assessment is that an assessment project requires only a minimal commitment of time, money and efforts before – this maximizes flexibility and keeps both teams maximum agile to commence the actual implementation project on the right foot.
