How Does Your ERP System Architecture Address Change?
An Examination of Leading Change Management Strategies
by Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) In today’s competitive market, businesses are living in a constant state of change. Whether because of
downsizing or expansion, mergers or acquisitions, changing business processes or stringent government
and industry compliance regulations, today’s businesses must quickly and cost-effectively react to
business change to stay competitive. TEC asks the question, "How is it that nearly half of all businesses are essentially blowing their ERP budgets each year to support change? How are the software vendors supporting recurring change—be it broad and sweeping, as in the case of changes in US Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements, or more personalized, like supporting new CEO-mandated business processes and best practices? The question is this: what are software vendors doing right and wrong in facilitating post-implementation change?" Download TEC's Market Comparison Report, How Does Your ERP System Architecture Address Change? An Examination of Leading Change Management Strategies of three global ERP vendors - Agresso, Oracle, and SAP. TEC identified five prospective areas of change: compliance to new regulations, reorganization and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, business process change, and financial management–driven change. TEC interviewed customers of each vendor and asked what technology methodology they needed to support business change in each of these five areas. If your organization’s industry segment or business model is highly dynamic (i.e., integrating new
locations, undergoing rapid growth, or involved in a series of mergers and acquisitions), then as with all
ERP vendors, you should compare your specific business requirements to each vendor you review. Download TEC Market Comparison Report Now!
