Synopsis
Step-by-step guidance to achieving maximum return on investment for your company "This book emphasizes that the design, implementation, and management of ERP systems must be based on customer value creation and a business process view. It is a useful source of fresh thinking for both students and business professionals." Andrew Spanyi, author of Business Process Management Is a Team Sport: Play It to Win!, More for Less: The Power of Process Management, and Operational Leadership "Before you go on a spending spree, I highly recommend you read and contemplate Mr. Worsters challenge for fellow executives to remain exceptional stewards of investor capital. Mr. Worster outlines a practical, experience-based approach that should be referenced often. The premise that we demand a business return for our business investment seems elementary. However, years of experience as personally shared by Mr. Worster and many in the industry prove that reality remains much different." Shad Adair, CEO, SpinifexIT, North America "Art Worster has coupled his life experiences with sound research to explain the necessary interaction among business leaders, process owners, and work streams for achieving ROI using ERP. This should become a must-read for anyone involved in implementing technology for an enterprise or for students in business or MIS programs who aspire to contribute to the success of ERP." Suresh Ketha, founder of GEMS Inc. (now part of HP) and RISE Corp., a cloud technology business applications think tank "I found this book to be very readable and informative . . . a real primer on the importance and evolution of ERP and the critical role of leadership in successfully implementing and driving ERP as a business versus IT process and one that should be/could be measured the same as any investment." Bernhard Welle, former EVP, Shared Services, Dial, Inc. "Maximizing Return on Investment Using ERP Applications is a valuable tool for business leaders and consultants. It provides business leadership teams a road map for understanding how the use of integrated business applications presents challenges to functional organizations and for evaluating the potential impacts. This book is a must-read for business leaders and consultants alike when designing and managing ERP applications." Eric Clark, Vice President, Application Innovation Services & Global Delivery, Hewlett Packard, Step-by-step guidance to achieving maximum return on investment for your company Written by Arthur Worster, Thomas Weirich, and Frank Andera, industry experts at the forefront of the business processes arena, Maximizing Return on Investment Using ERP Applications provides accountants, IT executives, and finance professionals with a new way of looking at enterprise resource planning (ERP)-driven business improvement programs. This timely book explores how leadership can view its organization as an integrated enterprise and what this change in perception might suggest. It considers various aspects of running a business and how a different approach may present new insight. Incorporates all aspects of gaining "Return on Investment" from ERP investments Considers change management from all angles, including working with the executive levels on defining return on investment cases, working through political and cultural issues at the executive leadership level Includes a companion website featuring exercises, reference materials, and case studies With the rapid implementation of ERP systems worldwide, business executives often have difficulty in determining the return on investment from such systems. Along with a companion website featuring exercises, reference materials, and case studies, Maximizing Return on Investment Using ERP Applications offers straightforward and hands-on guidance to lead your organization through the change process and ensure that the intended benefits can be achieved.
