What causes a traffic jam? Isolation and lack of coordination. Everyone’s headed in the same direction, but each driver doesn’t know what all the others are doing. A sudden, unexpected lane change is all it takes to slow everyone to a crawl.
The same is true of business traffic jams: Supply chain bottlenecks, shipping close calls, and customer service fender-benders are all due to lack of a holistic vision of the enterprise.
With communication and coordination, businesses can take charge of real-time data and keep the organization running at peak efficiency in real time.
Our guests on this episode of Tech Unknown explore what intelligent ERP can do for businesses.
More importantly, they dig into what business leaders can do before, during, and after an intelligent ERP implementation in order to get the most from their investment.

Words of wisdom on intelligent ERP
“I’ve seen dramatic improvements in customer service levels, operational profit, working capital, and, very importantly, growth and improved customer experiences [with Intelligent ERP].” –Lisa Anderson
It’s important to understand what changes you need to make from a process and organizational standpoint, which goes well beyond the technology itself. When you do that, the opportunities really show themselves.” –Tim Crawford
“A real-time ERP solves hundreds if not thousands of problems before they even appear. So it really is the next generation of business. And I’m quite sure that the success of tomorrow really hinges on decisions made today to move in that direction.” –Eric Kavanagh
“It’s about giving information back to users in real time, or near real time, so they can make informed decisions. And not wait for the report at the end of the month, or the end of the quarter.” –Tom Roberts
