Challenge: Gaining More Competitive Advantage with Your ERP Implementation

For more than two decades business leaders have invested millions of dollars and countless resources to run their companies more efficiently with ERP. These massive systems have enabled thousands of companies to execute transactions, integrate data and standardize business processes across finance, procurement, production, sales and logistics. While ERP systems have enabled companies to do many things well, these systems were never intended to do all things well. History has proven that it can take significant time for companies to realize a tangible return from their ERP investment. More and more business leaders are recognizing these limitations and they dont have time to wait. Heightened consumer expectations, pressures to cut costs, lean initiatives to remove waste and the 24-hour requirements of managing complex global networks are all intensifying their urgency to do more. While ERP can certainly take a company half the way there, ensuring a strong finish requires innovative, specialized and flexible software solutions working in concert with ERP.
