Apparently, late adopters are benefiting from the mistakes of their predecessors since the most current research describes successful implementations.…

    Since the 1990’s companies around the world have been implementing an ERP system, for some it has worked and for others it has been an expensive loss.

ERP system could not be seen just as an IT upgrade to a new software but a complete change in management, culture and modification to how people worked.
