The software does that part well. The hierarchy underneath it is the decision you cannot cheaply take back. A private-equity-backed manufacturer I … Read more
By Mike Carter, Director of Partnership Success, KORE1 An ERP implementation needs seven filled seats, and only three of them are full-time. Executive sponsor, project manager, solution architect, data lead, one process owner per in-scope area, a test owner, and the administrator who runs the system after go-live. Everything else on the org chart is … Read more

Everything past those three is preference. Most companies get the order … Read more
