The Implementation & Migration Strategy: Oracle to ERPNext Simplified!
Our client and their team, who had been struggling with an outdated Oracle system(20-year-old system), are looking for a more cost-effective, streamlined, and feature-rich ERP solution to better organize and manage their business operations. Considering the need for an upgrade, they reached out to Sanskar Technolab
After a thorough evaluation of their requirements, such as an easy learning curve and higher customizations and integration, our team recommended ERPNext as the ideal solution. We presented an in-depth explanation of ERPNext's platform, its cost-effectiveness, feature set, customization capabilities, and integrations. The client was convinced with ERPNext and decided to move forward.
After the client onboarding, we commenced the migration and implementation process. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of their business requirements through site visits, connecting with their team, and knowing about their end goals. This analysis paved the way for the seamless migration implementation of new modules, features, and automated workflows.
After that, we delved into the implementation phase. It involves customizing ERPNext to align with the client's specific industry and business processes. We have configured modules such as Purchase, HR & Payroll, CRM, Manufacturing, Accounting, Asset Management, Sales, and Inventory. We have even implemented automated workflows and conducted user training sessions to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
We are at the last stage. This phase has several technical challenges, such as extracting data from the legacy Oracle system, which was quite different from ERPNext's database schema, and thorough data cleansing and transformation to ensure compatibility with ERPNext's data structure.
Despite these challenges, our team executed a successful database migration, ensuring a seamless transition from the outdated Oracle system to the new, efficient ERPNext platform.
