• Review the pre-requisites and pre-installation scenarios:
  
  
  The decision of implementing ERP for school, college, university or campus is something that you should not hurry for. Before its implementation, you must ensure that you have enough knowledge about the benefits that you will get with the ERP implementation in your educational institution. First, you need to create a team of teaching and non-teaching administrators, analyze the pre-requisites, develop objectives of the system and prepare rough data of an entire plan. This well-defined research with automated analysis, well-defined objectives and scope of implementation will help in the smooth implementation process.

  The ERP software is going to handle most extensive and complex processes and so based on that, there are various types of ERP software available in the market. Before selecting any of the ERP software, you must first carry out intensive research on different types of Education Management Software available and simultaneously match it with your pre-defined requirements. One of the best ERP software for the educational field is the EduERP that gives optimal results according to the queries and requirements.

        Once you are done with the process of selecting and buying ERP software,
         the final stage come   and that is implementation stage as follows:

• Collecting and storing data in the database:
  
  
  Carry out a complete analysis of currently available data as it is not necessary that 100% of your data will be transferred as there will be some data that are really old and that too insignificant ones. Ensure that majority of the important data are included in the database and for this create a spreadsheet or CSV file for properly segmenting and storing data. A good ERP will transfer or upload the data from the spreadsheet to the database. One of the best examples for this is EduERP. Ensure that complete and accurate data is transferred to the system.

Mastering in how the EduERP works will help them a lot and so necessary steps should be taken in giving them training. Important documents, training manuals or other additional tools must be provided to the trainees for better results.
  
  
• Setting your ERP software live:
  
  
  The most important part of ERP implementation process is making the system live on the system. Besides that, proper utilization of the EduERP, as well as timely maintenance and upgradation of the system, is important to the ERP implementation process.
