Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the challenges faced by current-generation ERP systems and the proposed research agenda to address them.

 We start by discussing the problems related to the architecture and implementation of ERP systems in the changing business landscape. We then highlight the importance of a holistic approach to addressing the problems of ERP systems, including those related to architecture, design, implementation, and usage. Our guest proposes a research agenda that includes improving the user interface, control of business processes, functionality, database/data model, infrastructure, and adaptation. By addressing these areas of focus, organizations can improve the performance of their ERP systems and enhance their overall operations with ERP Optimization. This episode provides valuable insights for private equity firms and stakeholders involved in ERP organizational change as they navigate the challenges of implementing and using ERP systems in their portfolio companies.
