Practical, sourced guides on ERP replacement: how it works, what it costs and what to do next.
Guide · The planAn ERP migration plan in six stagesThe projects that fail tend to move everything at once and redesign nothing. A plan that moves one process at a time, with the old system still running, removes most of the ways an ERP migration goes wrong.
Guide · CostERP replacement cost: what to budget and a worked exampleNo public average for an ERP replacement survives scrutiny. What does exist is a set of published prices, a few reported ratios and consistent evidence of overrun, which together are enough to build a budget that holds.
