Increasing the ROI in ERP Through Business Process Optimization

Overview ERP system implementations are often plagued by negative ROI, the absence of optimal system functionality, and late delivery. Negative results are typically blamed on a false expectation that performance-improving benefits can be achieved solely by “going live” with a state-of-the-art ERP package. This paper seeks to show that ERP systems can produce positive ROI when implemented as part of a comprehensive Business Process Optimization (BPO) program that clearly defines a desired future state and delivers on the needs of all affected stakeholder groups.
