As an ERP solution provider, our environmental scanning often raises some interesting questions. (more…)
If you are not already working in the ERP industry, it’s sometimes difficult at parties to explain to people what you do. When asked: “what do you do?” I simply explain that I am a product manager. This is a sufficiently loose term that in the current climate can be associated with either the development of a product or the ownership of someone else’s [...]

While many businesses have tried – and failed – to go it alone, there is an unspoken value in nurturing and developing an ecosystem of strategic and effective partnerships.
