False Advertisement: The Truth about ERP Implementations
This article really touched upon the negative experiences of ERP implementations at businesses. It goes on to answer the question: “Why do companies have such terrible software implementation experiences?” Our experts’ conclusion was that either their ERP Provider is only providing them with half-truths about implementations to sell their own products OR business executives make their own assumptions and do not do the proper research required beforehand. Getting the RIGHT and TRUTHFUL information from IT Providers as well as doing your own research on implementations is absolutely critical. Read more to get the real story behind those false statements about ERP Implementations.
What would you like your Management System to do?
Another one of our most mopular IT articles dealt with answering the question “what do you want your management system to do for your business?” This is a great question that not many business executives answer right away (before they implement a system). Many agree to an upgraded ERP system because it’s “time” and we live in an age where it’s known that the right IT tools can make a difference for a company. However, it’s important to list what differences you want to see in your own company. It’s about listing your current pain points and problems (issues that your company faces today or that you foresee in the future). This list will allow your IT team to focus on solving these problems with the right business IT solutions.
