Add in the hidden ugly truth about ERP projects: they're more about the organisation changing to fit the ERP rather than the software serving the organisation

- chii 4y ago> they're more about the organisation changing to fit the ERP that's because the ERP has been sold as the solution to the domain complexity of the organization. It's been sold as a way to make your org's business processes work in "industry standard" ways, following "best practice", because the ERP vendor has "experience" with other orgs in similar businesses, which you can leverage the expertise/knowledge off. They'll customize the process a bit, to make it suite your "unique" circumstances. Unfortunately, it's all hogwash.
