Optimising Business Performance with Standard Software Systems: How to Reorganise Workflows by Chance of Implementing New ERP-Systems (SAP, BAAN, Peoplesoft, Navision ...) or New Releases

This book is addressed at decision makers, project teams, project managers, company's IT-managers, and staff of consulting companies, who are either involved in complex standard software implementation, or release migration projects. The book stresses the shortcomings of many present standard software implementations that mainly pertain to insufficiently optimized business processes, thus standard software has caused a lot of dissatisfied companies. The authors analyze certain popular implementation approaches (life-cycle-models) of different Standard Software suppliers. It shows how a new semi-process oriented way of implementing modern standard software systems may contribute to a better business performance.
