The Challenge

• ERP and SCP systems are highly complex
• Most ERP and SCP systems require configuration by the user
• Given the complexity of this task, it is often difficult to make fact-based decisions regarding configuration

As a result:

• Configuration decisions are often subjective
• It is difficult to keep the system ‘in tune’ with the business
• This reduces business performance and leads to frustration, stress and loss of trust in the system
• Money is lost in sales, wastage, excess carrying costs, expedites etc.

And the question still remains:

“How do we improve the return on our sizable technology investment?”
