(e-format)
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems never
seem to provide the projected returns on investment.

    failed and flawed implementations.

    consultants the necessary tool to ask all the
    right questions to determine if all the
    components of the system are producing the

    start the assessment from a top down
    perspective. I developed this checklist based
    on my work installing ERP systems. It won’t do
    all the work, but it reminds you to cover all the
    right areas and provides all the relevant
    questions you need to ask.
