The book

YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE

The first edition of this book, already dating back to 2018, was written to help decision-makers looking to buy and deploy an ERP system make sense of the process.
This second edition has been updated to reflect the latest tendencies and because five years is an eternity where technology and information systems are concerned.
The objective of Successfully Implementing ERP remains the same: assisting you in understanding the challenges you face and helping you prepare accordingly. Ultimately, our greatest hope is to support you in making the right decisions for a successful project.
Book excerpt

SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENTING ERP

For many, navigating the ERP landscape feels like walking through a minefield without a metal detector, scaling a precipice without a climbing rope, or even walking around with a rock in your shoe—infuriating. To you, it may be a dangerous world populated with nightmarish salespeople, frightening computer geeks, and even worse, financial rifts that can materialize anywhere, anytime, to suck all your hard-earned cash into another dimension. Have I vividly communicated the required level of empathy to draw you in? I sure hope so!
