The 5 Biggest Challenges of Implementing ERP for the First Time

If your organization is about to wade into the sometimes choppy waters of enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection and implementation for the first time, today's feature blog post is for you. It looks at the five biggest challenges you're likely to face when outfitting your business with its first ERP system.

While some software solutions have a crystal-clear profile, ERP for services is much harder to pin down—but what kind of "services" does it refer to? Is it intended for project- or transaction-based service companies-or both? How does ERP for services differ from project portfolio management (PPM) for professional services automation (PSA) and which is best for your company? Find the answers to these questions and more in today's feature article.

Today's feature white paper gives you a step-by-step guide to choosing and implementing the ERP system that will best fit your company's needs. From determining your goals and system requirements, to evaluating the vendor landscape, to integrating your new ERP system into your existing business, you'll find out about it here.
