Measuring the ROI of ERP in SMB
ERP is more than a necessary infrastructure—it forms the transactional system of record upon which a business is based and is a serious undertaking.  Today, while improving customer response time remains an important factor, the struggling economy is causing many to look to their ERP implementations to help them cut costs.  As SMBs brace themselves in this down economy, ERP projects (upgrades, extensions, new implementations) run the risk of being delayed just when they are needed the most.

Featured Speaker: Cindy Jutras will highlight key findings and recommended best practices from the 2009 Aberdeen whitepaper, “Measuring the ROI of ERP in SMB.” Information will cover:
 
1.  Benchmarking Best-in-Class
A well-managed ERP implementation can significantly reduce cost while improving other business aspects.  Yet focus from both ERP solution providers and their customers continues to be on reducing ERP’s Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).  In order to justify continued investment, best-in-class companies must shift the focal point to include the ROI of ERP projects.
 
2.   Benchmarking Requirements for Success
The implementation of an ERP solution is a very significant investment in terms of time and money.  Jutras will discuss factors required for success, including:
·  Commitment from management
·  Complete company visibility
·  Technological tools
·  Performance management
 
3.   Required Actions
Whether a company is trying to move its performance in obtaining ROI from ERP, Jutras will discuss actions required to help spur the necessary performance improvements.
 
Special Guest Speaker: Keith Hogie from Milestone will cover:
·  Why Milestone began an ERP evaluation
·  Why they selected SAP and itelligence
·  What benefits they are gaining from their implementation
