You often hear the word “usability” kicked around these days with Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP software. While it may sound like a catchphrase in software solutions, “usability” is something that makes a real difference. To boost ERP user adoption rates, look for software with key characteristics, including good usability. If you are hesitant to take on an ERP implementation project, or are worried about your user adoption strategy, keep reading.
Defining Usability
What is usability? Most define usability as when software embodies five characteristics:
- It’s effective — does its job
- It’s efficient — does that job as simply and quickly as possible
- It’s engaging — it delivers a quality user experience
- It’s error tolerant — it limits or eliminates the chances of making mistakes with it
- It’s easy to learn — users can onboard quickly without extensive training
These characteristics can influence many business functions. But they ultimately lead to one major change – improved user adoption. Effective, engaging user interfaces that always guide users correctly are desirable and likely to be adopted.
