SELECTION PHASE
The technology risks can be controlled by selecting an ERP software that fits the technological infrastructure and technological expertise of the company in the best possible way. Acquiring technical expertise through training, recruiting, or buying consultancy or any combination of these activities, will lower the technological risk factors. Commitment to using project management methodology and best practices specified by the vendor as well as adherence with the specifications supported by the ERP software are also important factors in controlling the risks.
