Best Practices for an ERP Software Implementation

With any successful endeavor, time and effort spent during the preparation process are essential investments. An adequate amount of resources, getting organized, and having the right execution plan is paramount to success. This rings true for a successful software implementation as well. Having the right tools, advice and a roadmap to follow can make the difference between a smooth implementation and one with random potholes impeding your progress.

Integrated vs. Stand-Alone Project Management Systems

If your company is like many others, you may be considering new technology for your PM/operations teams. However, the more you dig into these products, the more you will realize that there is significant overlap with your current financial/job cost systems. This prompts a MAJOR DECISION.
