The high failure rate of enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects is a pressing concern for both academic researchers and industrial practitioners. The challenges of an ERP implementation are particularly high when the project involves designing and developing a system from scratch. Organizations often turn to vendors and consultants for help with such projects but every aspect of an ERP project is opaque for both customers and vendors. Unlocking the mysteries of building a large-scale ERP system, The Adventurous and Practical Journey to a Large-Scale Enterprise Solution tells the story of implementing an applied enterprise solution. The book covers the field of enterprise resource planning by examining state-of-the-art concepts in software project management methodology, design and development integration policy, and deployment framework, including: A hybrid project management methodology using waterfall as well as a customized Scrum-based approach A novel multi-tiered software architecture featuring an enhanced flowable process engine A unique platform for coding business processes efficiently Integration to embed ERP modules in physical devices A heuristic-based framework to successfully step into the Go-live period. Written to help ERP project professionals, the book charts the path that they should travel from project ideation to systems implementation. It presents a detailed, real-life case study of implementing a large-scale ERP and uses storytelling to illustrate wrong and right decisions often made by vendors and customers. Filled with practical lessons learned, the book explains the ins and outs of adopting project methodologies. It weaves a tale that features both real-world and scholarly aspects of an ERP implementation.
