As a company kicks of an ERP selection process, a key part of the project is to determine the “current state” – or where the company is now in terms of business processes.

Most business processes have evolved over time and passed from one person to another with minimal documentation, rather than from a conscious effort to constantly reexamine and improve processes based on their strategic value.

We find that an ERP implementation is the perfect opportunity to dig deep into how the organization currently performs business processes.

That “current state” documentation helps teams determine ways to use best practices built into the ERP system to streamline and improve these processes.
