Getting the Most Out of Your ERP System  

Thursday, January 30 at 10:00am-11:00am

A company looking at purchasing ERP software will give much thought to the functionality of the product, the look of the screens, ease of use etc. Sometimes though, very little thought is given to the "fuel" the system will run on. As a result, within a relatively short period of time, the "New" system looks a lot like the old one. The old frustrations creep back in, only now management is angry because a large amount of money has been spent, but everyone feels like they are no further ahead.

If this is the case, it is time to get back to basics. The quality of the data coming out of the system is directly related to the data going in. If there is a disconnect between the processes on the floor and what is told to the system, reporting becomes invalid. In turn, decisions become harder to make instead of easier. This seminar will review some of the common mistakes companies make, which can be avoided by getting back to basics.
