When evaluating an ERP project, discussions often focus on functionality, scope, budget, and return on investment. There is a period of time between the decision to invest in the platform and the moment when the organization begins to realize tangible benefits from that investment. Reducing that timeframe is often a key objective in an implementation strategy.

Implementing an ERP is one of the most significant technological decisions a growing company can make.
