Select the best team members for ERP project.

Select the best team members for the project.


The better the project team members, the better the project’s results. Having knowledgeable, team-oriented people on the project will be invaluable for success. Remember the following criteria for selecting team members:

1. Choose Members Based on Knowledge and not Tenure
2. Keep the Group Size Between Five and Ten People
3. Identify Not Only the Team Members but Departmental Back Up Representatives as well
4. Choose Members Who Can Dedicate the Time Required for Project Participation
5. Choose Members Who are Well-Liked, Well-Known, Considered Knowledgeable, and   Respected within the Organization
6. Choose Positive Individuals Who Welcome Change

Selecting team members who are the least valuable to the organization to be on the project team because it will minimize the disruption to daily operations will doom a software selection project before it begins.

The Server: Do you have what you need?

It is highly recommended that mid-market accounting packages reside on their own dedicated server.


Your Partner will be able to provide you with the minimum system requirements, but servers come in “Honda Civic” to “Rolls Royce” versions – so you will need to rely on a trusted IT advisor.

If you decide to set up a portal (a secure online site to view data) for your system, this may require an additional server called an IIS server.
 
If you have a large number of reports, and run them on the same server as your application, it can dramatically impact performance. The result is frustrated users and complaints.

Plan ahead and distribute the processes evenly across multiple servers if necessary.

SQL Server Operating System: Pros and cons of FREE

In most cases, you need a SQL server operating system on your server. This might be included with your new server purchase, or you may need to purchase it separately.
Keep in mind that you need the same number of SQL licenses as you have accounting software user licenses.

We recommend that you budget to buy a few additional SQL licenses because some reporting tools in your accounting sys-tem will require a SQL license too.

Many people ask about the free version of SQL called MSDE. This may be an option, but you should know that MSDE has two limitations.

1. First, there is a data size limitation based on your transaction volume in the accounting system. There is no magic formula to determine how much space you will need for your system.

An experienced Partner should help you deter-mine what database size will work for your unique situation.

2. Second, there is a lack of administrative mainte-nance tools for MSDE. If you have a problem with the MSDE database, it can be harder to fix, and you know what that means – more support costs.

TO SAVE :
You can always start with the free MSDE version of SQL to minimize upfront costs, and upgrade to the full version of SQL later.
