The ERP Landscape: 10 Years in the Making

Join a panel of experts as they weigh in on lessons learned from the ERP implementation strategies that began over 10 years ago. In 1995, the promise of greater efficiency, cost savings and vastly improved business process were driving decision making. But today, the landscape is quite different. Many research universities are into their third or fourth software upgrade, others are dealing with the shakeout of software companies within the midst of implementations; still others, not having taken the plunge, are wringing out the final few years of functionality from very old legacy systems and face an uncertain set of decisions and new opportunities.
