SAR is laying-off 10,000 staff so all the dumb silly companies/orgs that wasted/wasting a fortune gone/goimg to SAP could be in deep trouble very soon https://lnkd.in/e2bs4r7Y Add to this the fact that if hackers hack SAP software or a global IT outage effects SAP software, then it impacts all their customers that use SAP. With Salesforce layoffs too shows the massive danger of ERPs and CRMs. How much trouble is SAP in? How badly will this evenually cause all companies to have major problems? I am available for a #CEO / #CIO and #board positions or #advisor to, or high-paid Synon2e/RPG techie. #news #coo #cfo #economy #finance LinkedIn #economist Linkedin News #trader #cto

In today's busy ERP/CRM implementation environment, an often-neglected critical prerequisite to implementation design, is the identification of the optimal Target Operating Model (TOM) for the organisation. Locking-in on this prior to solution design, is often the key to a successful implementation programme.  Hope this article serves an eye opener to ERP/CRM implementation consultants and their clients alike.

Two things I would add to this article on ERP https://lnkd.in/estC8zmW 1) Optimise your process with the technology in mind, and if possible move to that process now. 2) Build user acceptance scripts early and use them to prove the end to end - don't wait until it is too late

"Another one bites the dust!!!" Just love the way Freddie did this.... Remember it is a NON-ZERO risk in ripping up your working ERP to move to another ERP running on low-ranking databases.... One needs to prepare for any situations with contingencies in place. Talk to us on how to navigate a safe SAP journey. This article is in Japanese, but thanks to webpage translation, we are all aware of it now. Link to article is in the comments.

IBP is a process of choice for most organisations around the world yet in an environment where the integration of people, process and tools is more critical than ever to enable decision-making it's surprising that the majority of companies we work with (or speak to) have technology gaps as their No.1 issue. Do yourself a favour and check out this fit-for-purpose tool which will transform your disparate functional planning tools into a fully integrated model.

*** Why SAP adopting companies need consultants - not companions *** Recently, the CEO of a German engineering company challenged me to a pub crawl. After a few assorted whiskys, he abandoned all restraint and launched into a rant about how consulting companies in the SAP space have evolved over the last 20 years. His point was that many SAP consultants have regressed into merely executing technical services instead of providing genuine consulting. Which his view is even worse because SAP itself has "increasingly distanced itself from actual customer advisory in the sales phase, putting emphasis more on showcasing features and functions in a colorful way." Indeed: It’s a sign of poverty of imagination for a consultant to sit down with a white paper and just ask for requirements instead of having an own vision and best practices that deliver real value to customers. The notion of "We build anything you want" has been misinterpreted as being customer-centric, but in reality, it often reveals a lack of vision. "Business Innovation" doesn't occur through "Systems Integration" alone but through consultants who possess both industry and technical knowledge. These consultants can act as enterprise architects, guiding customers through the "why, what, and how" of Digital Transformation with SAP. This becomes even more important when we aim to bring customers to the cloud via "fit-to-standard" methods like SAP Activate. Large enterprise transformations require mapping customer challenges to capabilities, ensuring the right architecture is designed. As the CEO put it: SAP adopters need consultants, not companions! No disagreement here. #sap #technology #consulting

No better example of the value of being on a SAP operating model to enable successful mergers and acquisitions than the Mars buyout of the previously carved out Kellanova from Kellogs....... https://lnkd.in/eyXz7nCE There is little value consolidating both onto one mega SAP system, the real value will be how to make the most out of the combined data model and mirrored the large data sets that will exist. This is where SAP adds value, see below SAPs vision for connected business data large data models enabled by AI.
