Why Most ERP Implementations Fail Before They Begin

In this episode, Greg Gorman, Jeff Robertson, and Adam Cooper get into why companies change their ERP's and why the "why" has to come before the "what." Is the need to change stemming from reporting you can't get, systems that don't talk, functionality you're faking with manual work? Plus, the real reasons behind a new ERP, questions to settle before you sit through a single demo, and why no system can handle it all.
