Problems with out-of-date or poorly functioning ERP software often are abundantly clear to anyone working within the system. But a disconnect can arise when those tasked with making decisions about the ERP system don’t actually use the ERP system. After all, it’s a...
We recently kicked off a multi-site ERP implementation for one of our large aerospace and defense clients. Given the fact that, according to our 2012 ERP Report, most ERP implementations take longer than expected, cost more than expected, and fail to deliver the...
Corporate finance managers often think of budgeting like Sisyphus thought of his boulder. A seemingly never-ending, futile task that just keeps repeating itself over and over again. Does the following scenario seem familiar to you? The finance team sends out a dozen...
Organizations that use modern ERP systems typically spend millions of dollars per year just to maintain their enterprise software packages. One of the benefits of implementing a modern ERP system is that vendors spend an equal amount (or more) a year on R&D,...
