Riassunto

The history of implementing ERP systems has shown that leaving the fate of your Enterprise Resource Planning project in the hands of software consultants and vendors may only create a false sense of security. Regardless of all the right intentions, software consultants are not all-knowing, have a limited ability to control the keys to project success, and are the beneficiaries of cost overruns. When it comes to software vendors, their sales people will be long gone when it comes time to go-live with the new system.

This book presents comprehensive strategies and techniques that enable organizations to take charge of their Enterprise Resource Planning projects to drive success. It is a guide to making informed decisions during each project phase.
It contains many tips to select ERP software, establish a realistic schedule and budget, manage service providers, streamline business processes, transfer software knowledge, develop the right implementation strategies, and manage the technical conversion.

Successful ERP is not about becoming a technology guru, mastering project planning software or hiring more consultants. Success comes from education and knowledge that your senior management and your project team can understand and embrace.

The book was previously a No. 1 New Release on Amazon.com in its respective categories, and recently named the No. 1 book for ERP Project Managers by Book Authority.

Reviews:

"This book fits nicely into what I call the Center of Excellence movement - the push by ERP customers to gain more value out of their ERP investments and endure less headaches. The book is a combination of hard-won advice, cautionary tales, and a bit of a manifesto for not placing blind trust in third party consultancies." - Jon Reed, SAP/ERP Market Analyst.

"You owe it to your company and yourself to read this book. If you do so, you will sharply increase your odds for success and spend a lot less money. Steve has done the ERP industry a big service." - Tom F. Wallace, early ERP pioneer, author, and Distinguished Fellow at The Ohio State University Center for Operational Excellence.

"If the Project Management Institute (PMI) had a certification program in ERP Management, this would be the only book needed." - Andy Klee, President, Klee Associates, ERPtips.com (SAP), and JDEtips.com (Oracle Enterprise One).
