In this episode, we will learn about a specific vendor, Infor ERP, with Vice President of Development, Arsenin Rodriguez.
Objective research suggests there is one best ERP solution for each and every unique organization. But what does that really mean? The organization needs to take the time and effort to find that “one best fit” without making assumptions.
Research suggests that ERP systems selection, implementation methodology, and partner selection are critical for a successful ERP organizational change project. So in this episode, we explore a specific vendor, Infor ERP, to get their thoughts on ERP trends, ERP differentiators, and much more!

08:01 Suppose you are leading a kickoff meeting for an organization that is just starting an ERP implementation. How would you define and describe for them “success” in terms of an ERP organizational change?
09:34 Would you agree that ERP system selection is on one of the most crucial decisions to be made during an ERP organizational change endeavor? Why? So, as you know there are many, hundreds, of different vendors in the ERP space. What would be your general advice to organizations looking to select an ERP solution?
11:05 With so many options, and so many marketing and sales approaches, how can organizations focus on looking at the true differentiators with ERP vendors?

35:26 What are your thoughts on ERP software customization? Customization can be good in order to better fit the operational processes. But isn’t too much a danger?
