Is your ERP System being utilized to its fullest potential?

How do you choose an ERP System for your company?

This Manufacturing Works webinar will first provide insight into the challenges of optimizing ERP software (and other related enterprise software like CRM, EPM, and EAM). Our presenters from Meaden & Moore will help manufacturers, distributors, and industrial service providers make a truly informed selection of a new enterprise software package by:

  • Providing a framework for companies to define a simple, high-level ERP strategy
  • Defining the enterprise software lifecycle
  • Clarifying the sources and types of gaps between expectations and reality in enterprise software
  • Offering prescriptions, tools, tips, and techniques for closing the four types of gaps
  • Reviewing tools to use before and as part of improving the level of ERP use and satisfaction inside a company
  • Identifying the costs to consider when embarking on improvement, upgrade, or replacement paths
  • Explaining several approaches to managing, controlling, and achieving ERP satisfaction improvements
