Are you getting the most out of your ERP system, or is it holding you back? An ERP is meant to streamline operations and make life easier. In reality, the ERP is often frustrating—underutilized, poorly adopted, or misaligned with the company’s needs. ProCFO Larry Bomback joins us in this episode to break down why systems can underperform and how to avoid common frustrations, exploring the complexities of selecting, implementing, or improving an ERP system.

Larry shares practical strategies for evaluating your current system, identifying pain points, and understanding what your business really needs from its ERP. We discuss the importance of cultural adoption, why “train-the-trainer” models outperform massive, one-time trainings, and how to prioritize the needs-to-have versus the nice-to-have features. Larry also explains why choosing an ERP based on promised features usually leads to disappointment and how you can set yourself up for success with the right team and process in place.

If you’re feeling stuck with a clunky ERP or considering a switch, this conversation is a powerful guide with actionable insights for making informed, strategic decisions. Featuring Larry Bomback.
