Evaluating and selecting a world class Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution April 6, 2010

Many organizations have spent millions of dollars selecting and implementing ERP solutions over the

past fifteen years. Most of these solutions have become obsolete, unsupported by the original

resellers, and unable to take advantage of the latest technology.

more than selecting and implementing a completely new system utilizing state of the art technology.
