What’s in the White Paper?

Looking for useful, down-to-earth information that helps you with your Enterprise Resource Planning project? You’ve found it. This in-depth white paper walks you through each step you’ll need to follow in order to select and implement your ideal ERP – and provides handy tips, as well as warnings about potential pitfalls along the way.

You’ll learn:

• Why many companies make the first step of the process harder than it needs to be by needlessly focusing on unnecessary details that will only change later on
• Who should be included in your ERP selection process, when you should create your selection team, how many hours they should expect to spend on the project, and what they should focus on
• How to introduce every one of your employees and departments to the basics of ERP (not a specific ERP system), so you can get everyone on the same page, improve buy-in, and increase adoption once you’ve got your system up and running
• What you can do to create a manageable short list of options, how you can create a “software shopping list” that helps you assess each of your options, and how you should approach each demo you request
• When you should involve a vendor (reseller or developer), how to choose a good vendor to ensure a profitable long-term relationship, and how to determine the questions you need to ask every vendor

In addition, you’ll also find out what a walkthrough is like, gain insight into how to handle the pricing on proposals, and get ROI calculation tips that help you compare on-premises and cloud ERPs based on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Selection Is Only a Single Part of the ERP Process
