The ABCs of ERP & Beyond
The ABCs of ERP & Beyond is an independent podcast about choosing, implementing and living with ERP.
Every two weeks, Peter Nicholson, Nirav Shah and Emily Browning bring three different perspectives to practical conversations about ERP selection, data migration, implementation, go-live, training, change, reporting and the things that go wrong.
Much of our experience comes from mid-market manufacturing and distribution, where the business has to keep taking orders, making things and shipping while the project is under way. We talk about real trade-offs rather than reciting product benefits. Sometimes the right answer is to replace a system. Sometimes it is to upgrade, fix the implementation or leave it alone.
No paid editorial coverage, polished case studies or vendor-approved conclusions. Just candid ERP conversations from people doing the work.
