Using AI to evaluate ERP AI
ERP customers face a familiar problem when evaluating vendors: too much noise and too little clarity. Marketing hype, incomplete product documentation, and analyst reports often tell conflicting stories. Meanwhile, customers increasingly demand assurance that ERP vendors can deliver secure, cost-effective, and industry-relevant AI capabilities. Traditional scoring models rely heavily on…
ERP SI Partner Selection Series: Focus on the SI
In our previous post, we challenged the ERP SI selection process to hold all stakeholders—customers, ERP vendors, and SI partners—accountable for their role in achieving a successful match. Yet most customers still focus primarily on the SI’s sales team and senior leadership. The real challenge is uncovering the gap between perception and reality—a gap that often doesn’t emerge until the project…

After nearly 40 years of ERP evolution, one thing hasn’t changed: implementation success rates are still far too low. While picking the right ERP software matters, I’d argue that choosing the right SI partner has an even bigger impact on both go-live success and long-term value. Yet in most cases, SI evaluation still takes a backseat to software selection. Until that changes, organizations will keep struggling to realize the full potential of their ERP investment.
The Untapped Human Potential in ERP Projects
“People can be infinite or finite. Teams are always finite.”— A lesson forged from the front lines of ERP implementation. The Paradox of ERP Execution After nearly three decades in ERP implementation, I’ve seen a familiar tension emerge — not just within project teams, but within people. Most employees genuinely want to grow — in skill, in scope, in the value they provide to their…

Conducting ERP Assessment to Maximize ERP ROI
If you are considering moving to the cloud, one of the steps to take is understanding where you are at today with your ERP solution.
Many have come to know that ERP projects never really end. An ERP implementation is only the beginning of a journey with many twists, turns and – unfortunately – missed opportunities. The majority of business value ERP can generate happens during the maintenance life-cycle. Many customers never realize the full potential of ERP due to the maintenance strategy employed. What can we do to stay…

Recently I created a poll on LinkedIn asking the following question: Yes, I am disappointed with the # of responses, yet I have high respect for the respondents. Thanks to all for the feedback! First, I will start with the textbook answer that stakeholder management is the first step in requirements management. Good job my friend, Lauren! I’ve never used a stakeholder context diagram (learning…

Autonomous ERP
What is autonomous ERP and how is your ERP vendor moving to this emerging model?
Imagine an ERP solution that drastically reduces manual entry by 90%! The remaining exception transactions can be created via Natural Language Processing (NLP) or user confirmation of AI/Machine Language (AI/ML) recommendations. All supplier invoices are electronic. Moreover, bank reconciliations are performed near real-time via blockchain. Supply chains have the ability and capacity to process…

ERP Value Hypothesis
ERP Value Hypothesis. How to validate and what to look for.
The latest ERP cloud marketing trend is telling value stories and creating a value hypothesis. Everyone likes a good story and creating a value hypothesis sounds more like a “scientific/evidence based” approach. However, new labels do not automatically improve the ERP sales & selection process. Consider the definition of a hypothesis within the context of the scientific method. “a…

ERP and KPIs
How ERP should support and define KPIs for your business.
When asked, just about every ERP vendor will say they provide Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting. Yet there still remains confusion between metrics reporting and KPI reporting. Unfortunately, using terms like KPI and metrics interchangeably does not help. In the following blog cast and posting I will provide practical guidance regarding KPIs and the role ERP play in supporting KPI…

ERP Cloud: Finding the Right Provider
I recently attended Oracle’s OpenWorld Conference in San Francisco this October. There was a huge volume of information on the Cloud. As I walked through the Exhibitor’s halls at the Moscone Center, I observed that every SI partner had ERP in the Cloud or could get customers to the Cloud seamlessly. What I did not see is any offering or advisory service to guide ERP customers through the storm…

Cloud ERP Strategy: Goodbye IaaS, Hello IaaS
Cloud ERP Strategy: Goodbye IaaS, Hello IaaS
One of the first deployment models for cloud computing was Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS). Currently, there is a price war between the major IaaS providers like AWS and Rackspace to provide the cheapest infrastructure. However, enterprise customers looking to move their ERP solutions to the cloud should focus more on Integration as a Service (IaaS). Integration, not infrastructure, will have…

ERP Project 101: What + Why = How
One of the reasons why I am a consultant is that I enjoy solving business problems with technology. ERP provides a technical foundation that I can utilize to solve problems. However, during my career I came to the realization that simply throwing technology at a business need is not in the best interest of the customer. This is especially true when you do not completely understand the…
