5-Step Process for Selecting and Implementing a New ERP System
Not much affects a company's ability to serve its customers, compete effectively, and maintain long-term business growth like enterprise resource planning (ERP) system selection and implementation. Two experienced ERP veterans, Dave Turbide and Ray Rebello, have been involved in selecting (and selling) and implementing ERP software since the early 1980s. The duo offers a process to follow based on decades of real-world know-how and hundreds of actual ERP implementations they have witnessed and participated in.
When it comes to selecting or replacing an ERP system, you have to get it right or your company will pay the price -- for years to come.
