I see MES evaluations changing quite a bit.
They used to be primarily shop-floor conversations.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#Infor #MES #ERP One thing I have learned from ERP projects is that training and adoption are two very different things.
#ERP #CFO #CIO I see a common pattern when companies evaluate FP&A platforms.
The conversation starts with budgeting.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#Cube #FPnA #ERP One pattern I see in struggling ERP environments is that the business starts operating in two realities.
#ERP #CFO #CIO One thing I have learned from ERP projects: temporary processes have an incredible ability to become permanent.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Almost every manufacturer has projects.
That doesn't make every manufacturer a project manufacturer.
This distinction matters when evaluating ERP systems.

#ProjectManufacturing #Manufacturing #ERP ERP adoption rarely falls apart because of one big event.
In my experience, it usually happens one small workaround at a time.
#ERP #CFO #CIO I see this assumption quite often in ERP modernization conversations.
We're on AS/400, so we need to get off it.

#AS400 #ERPSelection #ERP I have seen too many ERP programs treat go-live like the finish line.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Where does Optro fit in the GRC landscape?
We break down its strengths, limitations, ideal fit, and alternatives from an independent buyer’s perspective.

#GRC #RiskManagement #Audit One thing I always tell companies evaluating NetSuite:
Don't just negotiate the initial price.
Understand what happens when you grow.

#NetSuite #ERPSelection #ERP A strong ERP can still be the wrong ERP.
That's the conversation I'm looking forward to having with The ERP Update during Platform Talks on September 30 at 2:30 PM ET.

#ERP #ERPSelection #CFO One of the biggest mistakes I see with ERP implementations is treating them like construction projects.
That mindset might work for a building.
It rarely works for ERP.
#ERP #CFO #CIO Dynamics GP customers know the clock is ticking.
But I think there is a bigger issue with how many organizations are approaching the decision.

#MSGP #MicrosoftGP #ERP Evaluating Optro, formerly AuditBoard?
Join us for an independent review of its audit, risk, controls, SOX, and GRC capabilities from a buyer’s perspective.

#GRC #InternalAudit #Optro Infor Velocity is here.
I’ll be around the event.
DM me if you’d like to connect on the floor. Would love to catch up and explore how we can work together.
#Infor #ERP #InforVelocity ERP failures are rarely just technology stories.
Sometimes, they become business survival stories.
Gordon Companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 14, 2026.

#ERP #CFO #CIO I see a lot of expectations that AI will somehow diagnose why an ERP program is struggling.
Sometimes it can.
But CEO ownership? Strategic alignment? Leadership quality?
Those are much harder.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One thing I have learned from ERP implementations: finding the problem is rarely the hardest part.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I have seen plenty of ERP problems that were visible long before go-live.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO A great ERP demo doesn't necessarily mean you've found the right ERP.

#ERP #ERPSelection #CFO One thing I have learned from ERP projects is that broken systems sometimes survive for a reason.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Heading to SuiteWorld and Oracle AI World.
If you’re considering an ERP upgrade, join me for a firsthand look at where Oracle is taking its platforms.
DM me if you want to connect on the floor.
#SuiteWorld #OracleAIWorld #ERP One thing I find interesting about AI is its potential to spot problems much earlier.
That could be incredibly valuable in ERP and digital transformation projects.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Fabtech is here. I am speaking there.
We’ll dig into eliminating downtime and empowering the connected workforce.
If you’re attending, DM me. Would love to connect on the floor and explore how we can work together.
#Fabtech #Manufacturing #ERP I see this tension all the time.
Leadership hears ERP modernization and thinks technology project.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Heading to Infor Velocity.
And if you’re attending, DM me.
Always happy to catch up, exchange notes, and explore opportunities to work together.
#Infor #ERP #InforVelocity Another week. Another reminder that ERP failures rarely stay inside the ERP.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Most ERP implementations I have seen don't struggle because the ERP can't handle the basics.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#ERP #Lensing #AI One thing I have learned from working on digital transformation programs is that buying more technology rarely fixes a productivity problem by itself.
BDO Canada’s latest research makes a similar point.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I have seen finance teams approach FP&A selection as a search for a better budgeting tool.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#FPnA #DriveTrain #CFO I have seen this movie before.
A technology gets everyone’s attention. Leadership wants to move fast. The use cases sound compelling.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One of my favorite moments during an ERP implementation is when the consultants turn to the users and say:
“Now try to break it.”
The users start processing their normal daily transactions.
And somehow, breaking it requires very little creativity.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Configure-to-order manufacturing is one of those models that can look deceptively simple during an ERP evaluation.
Watch: www.youtube.com/watch
#ERP #CTO #Manufacturing One of the biggest mistakes I see in ERP projects is expecting a new system to preserve every old process.
Companies spend millions replacing the ERP. Then they spend months trying to make the new system behave exactly like the old one.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One thing I have learned about NetSuite pricing is that the initial quote rarely tells the whole story.
Oracle does not publish official NetSuite pricing. Every deal is negotiated.

#ERP #NetSuite #CFO One thing I have learned from years of enterprise software projects.
Sales and developers can look at the exact same requirement and see two completely different things.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Microsoft has put a date on the future of Dynamics GP.
Support under the Modern Lifecycle Policy ends December 31, 2029. Security updates and patches, if needed, continue through April 30, 2031.

#ERP #Microsoft #MicrosoftGP I have seen this pattern in more ERP projects than I can count.
During the sales cycle, the new ERP is going to simplify everything.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One thing I find businesses often underestimate about DMAP is the cash flow requirement.
The program can cover 50% of eligible project costs, up to $15,000.

#DMAP #Canada #Ontario IMTS is here, and I couldn't be more excited to be part of it. I'll be speaking about AI and manufacturing. Will I see you there?
DM me. I would love to catch up.
Register for the session: directory.imts.com/8_0/sessions...
#IMTS2026 #AchievetheImpossible #IMTS ERP problems are rarely just IT problems.
I have seen this repeatedly in ERP programs.
The DNOW and MRC Global story is an interesting example.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO I have sat through more ERP demos than I can count.
And one thing is almost always true.
The software looks much better in the demo than it will ever look during implementation.

#ERP #CIO #CFO I’ve walked into warehouses weeks after an ERP go-live and seen something interesting.
Sticky notes everywhere.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO One thing I have learned from ERP selection projects is that functional fit can be misleading.
Listen: podcast.wbs.rocks/1456882/epis...
#ERP #CIO #CFO ERP cutovers and holiday shipping have remarkable chemistry.
Mostly the explosive kind.
#GuptaERP #CIO #CFO Configure-to-order manufacturing is often grouped with make-to-order.
In my experience, that misses one of the biggest differences.
The configurator is really at the center of the operating model.

#ERP #CTO #CFO One thing I’ve learned from ERP projects: “working well” is surprisingly subjective.
