The Vendor Shootout™ for ERP provides a comprehensive, content-rich agenda that includes both scripted ERP product demos from top vendors, as well as educational ERP mini-workshops.
During the online registration process, organizations will provide general information about their business, including areas of importance to the overall business operations from both a functional and technical perspective. Based on these responses, registered attendees will receive a recommendation list of ERP products being presented at the event that would be a potential fit for their organization. Organizations will also be provided with product overviews to assist in preparing for the event.
The scripted ERP product demonstrations will cover product functionality, user interfaces, and overall usability. Each vendor will follow the same script guidelines to present similar functionality covering the basic requirements of distribution and manufacturing companies. Vendors are under strict instructions to explicitly indicate any customizations, modifications, or 3rd party products used in order to complete the presentation. The same presentations will be made during each of the scripted product demonstrations during the event so you can easily compare between packages and select your short list for further evaluation.
In addition to the live scripted ERP product demos, a new content-rich agenda will provide attendees the opportunity to participate in general session ERP focused mini-workshops. These 45-minute impartial workshops will be held between demos and are dedicated to helping manufacturing and distribution organizations understand:
- How an ERP solution can impact business operations
- Importance of developing a solid business case
- Significance of ERP requirements planning
- Managing Organizational Change
- Identifying project team's strategic roles and responsibilities
