Dear Clients/ERP Managers,
With our experience of last 4 years with IFW College ERP we have felt that no matter how much we and you try(this has nothing to do with how many features the ERP has), till the end module user does not work on the ERP on their respective module “things don’t get LIVE”.
We are giving you 5 TIPS for actually making all modules of ERP LIVE at your Campus :
TIP 1 #
Keep the carrot and stick in hand approach for the module users. Motivate and appreciate the module user who have actually done work on the ERP. They should not feel that they are working on it uselessly and the management is not recognizing them. Also, at the same time give deadlines to the ones who have not either started working in ERP or are lazy and making excuses of their general work pressures and lack of time etc. Its your internal decision how strict you want to be with the defaulters and lazy staff members. Some of our clients have clearly said to the staff “Either get LIVE on the ERP or else find job somewhere else.....”.
TIP 2#
The management has to ask for reports(1 or 2 selected ones) from all the modules on their desk every evening or check themselves daily working on the ERP by their own login. Why will your staff work on the ERP if you still want to see the work in old pattern. You have to reject anything that comes to you without ERP. For Example : Tell your Accounts department to show you the daily collection report from the ERP every day, or tell your HODs to give you daily record of absent students etc. If you check this for just 7 days, we bet your ERP will be LIVE and kicking.
TIP 3#
Give the staff what they need but only on the condition that ERP has to be LIVE. Some departments will need more data entry operators initially.... give them. Some will ask for retraining of modules, tell us we will give them Online ERP training on their live Database any number of times they need, but they have to get LIVE on ERP on each module.
TIP 4#
Recruit only those people in your College from today who can work on an ERP. We are not saying that they should have experience of working on ERP, but they should be willing to work on it from day 1 of their joining at your campus. New recruits can be made comfortable on the ERP by your ERP manager, other staff members and our IFW Team too. Needless to say but its your decision if you still want to keep in your college old staff who either does not know computers or are not ready to learn anything about working on ERP.
TIP 5#
Show your staff that now AICTE has made it essential for all its affiliated colleges to have an ERP with a Parent's Login. So, if something is of so much importance how can you allow anyone in your college ignore it.
