Excerpts from the interview

An informative guide for forward-thinking CFOs planning to go beyond traditional ERP systems 

When looking at implementing any ERP system across the organization, the key considerations for CFOs should start with accurate assessment of business needs to ensure that the new system meets not only their current requirements, but any market demand and trends that are predicted to arise in the near future. Extensive methodical planning on budgets, data migration procedures, and change management further allow for economization benefits, uninterrupted data protection and usage, and adequate communication, training, and support across all departments. During routine evaluation of multiple ERP system vendors, it is important for CFOs to consider seamless integration with other systems and applications, as well as security, regulatory, statutory, and business policy compliance.
