Consulting Profiles

Skills play a crucial role in the success of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as they determine how effectively organisations can leverage these systems to streamline their business processes, enhance decision-making and drive competitive advantage. The impact of skills profiles on ERP systems is significant, as organisations require a diverse set of competencies, ranging from technical expertise to soft skills, to effectively implement, maintain, and optimise their ERP solutions. Our significant skills profiles impact ERP system delivery outcomes, highlighting the importance of skills development, the challenges organisations face and trends that shape the skills landscape in the context of ERP systems.

One of the key challenges facing organisations is the shortage of skilled professionals with the requisite technical expertise; particularly data management and business process knowledge needed to manage and optimise ERP solutions. The rapidly evolving technology and the increasing complexity of ERP platforms highlights the scarcity of talent in niche areas, such as: AI, blockchain, cloud computing, data analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies. Exposing the need to develop, attract and retain skilled professionals to provide effective ERP systems support. To stay abreast of latest trends in these digital landscape tools requires an investment in learning initiatives, certifications and professional opportunities; ensuring the workforce has the skills and knowledge to leverage ERP systems effectively.

Another significant challenge are the legacy system contracts on which ERP systems depend. They may depend on outdated technologies and siloed processes. These legacy systems, their technical debt and compatibility issues may hinder transformation efforts and limit the potential for innovation. Addressing legacy system constraints requires organisations to modernise systems, migrate to cloud-based ERP solutions and align skills profiles to match the evolving needs of digital transformation initiatives.

Finally, security and compliance requirements pose skill profile challenges too – data protection, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance to safeguard data assets, mitigate risks and ensure regulatory compliance within ERP systems. Data breaches, cyber-attacks and compliance violations can occur if there is a lack of skills, training and governance structures needed to maintain data security and privacy.
