Distribution Leaders Panel: Choosing the Right ERP for Your Business
February 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST
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.
It’s a big task, but it can be done. And if it is done well, you’ll reap the rewards long into the future.
In this panel discussion, distribution leaders will describe their experiences in selecting and implementing ERP solutions for their businesses. They’ll share the good, the bad and the ugly – with the goal of helping you benefit from their lessons learned.
If a new ERP is on your horizon – or you’re in the thick of it right now – you won’t want to miss this discussion. Join your peers Feb. 14, 2023, at 9 PT/12 ET for this valuable session.
