Evaluating an ERP Solution: Your Business Processes

All too often, an enterprise resource planning solution is purchased and the business adapts its processes to work within its boundaries. This could very well be one of the main reasons why, according to Gartner, between 55 and 74 percent of ERP implementations fail.

Rather than purchasing a tool that isn’t right for your business needs, and conforming to it; shouldn’t you be looking for a vendor that offers a solution that you can configure to meet your needs? Of course, but that means that you need to first understand your own business processes and how your ERP solution will interact with them.
