Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of clients, but somehow I’ve managed to make it through the decades without ever comparing the ERP selection process to the yearly duty of choosing a perfect Christmas tree. This year, however, with the joyous season once again upon us, I find myself wondering if the rules for one might loosely apply to the other. It could be the eggnog talking (in fact, it probably is), but in the depths of my imagination I see certain similarities.
Year: 2017
Connecting the Dots through Cohesive Collaboration
As this year draws to a close and we look ahead to 2018 and beyond, we are rapidly moving towards a time when everything we do will be driven by technology. The ‘smart’ and ‘connected’ factories that were once just a pipe dream may soon become the norm.

Apple Bottoms, Levis, Lee, GAP. Yours may not be one of the aforementioned brands, but I’d hedge all my bets that you own a pair of jeans. I do, and I love my all-year-round, many-occasion apparel.

Natural Disasters: How ERP Helps to Weather the Storm – Part 1

Rationed water for personal hygiene as well as drinking and cooking purposes is very much a reality now. But limited water is not the only thing impacting putting food on the table. The drought is much further reaching, with farmers and food suppliers also feeling the pinch!
Maximizing the Performance of Your ERP
My son recently turned 18 and he loves fast cars, so for his birthday we took him to drive a Lamborghini around a race track. Here an 18-year-old is going to drive a $250,000 car at speeds of around 120 miles per hour.
