Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Performing a gap analysis is the next likely step in implementing the ERP system after selecting the preferred vendor. This involves identifying the gaps between the current system and the desired system functionality that needs to be addressed through customization, configuration, or business process reengineering. This step helps optimize the ERP system's potential and align it with the company's objectives, minimizing risks of unsuccessful implementation. Option A (determining industry structure) is not necessary at this stage, while options B (picking inherent processes) and C (measuring system performance) are subsequent activities that follow after implementing the ERP system.
