What We Discuss:
- The “Hidden Tax” of ERP Projects: Why discovery often fails when companies don’t know what they don’t know, leading to costly remediation and mid-project pauses.
- Defining the Statement of Work (SOW): How Robert acts as a “liaison” between business leadership and the technical team to ensure the SOW actually reflects business needs, not just software features.
- Common “Selection Sins”: A look at why projects struggle—from lack of internal engagement and truncated training to critical errors in item setup and inventory BOMs.
- The Power of Staff Augmentation: How Ronin provides the “arms and legs” for companies with minimal staff, handling the heavy lifting of data migration, cleansing, and UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
- Golden Metrics & Post-Go-Live Success: Moving beyond just “getting it working” to achieving real-time job profitability, automated invoice ingestion, and managing an entire business through customized dashboards.
Key Takeaways
- Automation Opportunities: Identifying where to use scripting, automated workflows, and advanced analytics to reduce back-office overhead.
- Data Migration Mastery: How to navigate templates and data cleansing to avoid the “garbage in, garbage out” trap.
- Negative Testing: Why standard test scripts aren’t enough and how to protect your organization against common user errors before you go live.
- Flexible Engagement: Learn how to leverage expert advisory on an hourly, as-needed basis—from a five-hour-a-week “sanity check” to full-scale project management.
