For most distributors, an ERP conversion is one of the most important and difficult projects they will ever tackle. It’s important because state of the art technology is increasingly vital to remain competitive. It’s difficult because there are many ERP providers to choose from.

Once you do choose a provider it’s essential to pick the best solution. And then there is the whole process of establishing requirements, configuring the system and converting to a new platform which is complex and sometimes risky.
