Avoid the hidden traps that turn “good systems” into expensive regrets
Choosing an ERP should be a strategic decision.
In reality, it often feels like blindfolded boxing—vendors swinging claims, demos dazzling stakeholders, and budgets absorbing the punches later.
Most organisations overspend, overcomplicate, and overcommit before they clearly understand what they actually need.
This session exposes the hidden traps vendors never talk about—and the simple selection signals that protect your budget, your people, and your reputation.
What this session reveals:
- Why “industry standard” ERPs quietly lock organisations into cost and rigidity
- The early decisions that determine 12–24 months of pain before contracts are even signed
- How vendors shape requirements without you realising it
- The difference between functional fit and organisational fit
- Why most ERP shortlists fail before evaluation even begins
The core insight.
You don’t need more demos.
You need better filters.
In this session, we unpack the 3 ERP Selection Filters that instantly expose whether a system:
- Fits your organisation
- Fits your operating model
- Or is quietly setting you up for long-term regret
These filters work before procurement, before RFPs, and before momentum traps take over.
Especially valuable if you are:
- Preparing for an ERP decision
- Re-assessing your current platform
- Feeling pressure to “just choose something”
- Reviewing options like TechOne, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, or ReadyTech
This session can save months of rework, millions in waste, and countless internal battles.
