Pipeco company decided to implement the erp software in 2004. In the first phase, the ERP software cost was measured 10 million AUD and licensing policies were determined. Company opted for the implementation of the in-house team and there were regular meetings. There were some internal team members, developers and external consultants. SAP software was selected to implement.
In starting of the project, ERP software was very criticised in the company. Even in the company, some employees did not take part in testing and trails. A single consultant of SAP was included with the project team to decide the overall workflow design. So the project committee had to give the change management and project management training. Ultimately, the project was implemented into 24 hours.
