ERP TO SURVIVE

ERP is only the tool you need to achieve that step change in business performance, it is not a solution on its own.

For change to happen people have to do something different, a change of culture.

To change culture you have to change performance measures.

To change performance measures you have first to develop a shared vision, a new way of working together.

You should regularly check your planning and control processes by benchmarking your company against best practice.
