And we’re back! Took a brief hiatus to catch the flu, fly around the country for my startup, and finalize Everything ERP’s next launch: welcome to the Everything ERP Podcast!
One of the things that has come up during my time in the ERP industry is a lack of the experiences of an operator when going through one of their first ERP implementations. There is a lot of information about what an implementation looks like for a consultant, but not as much from the other side of the table.
The Everything ERP podcast is my attempt to address that gap. We’ll be interviewing operators - CFOs, COOs, business owners - from a variety of industries about what their experience has been. What solutions they’ve considered, how they selected a consultant, the problems they ran into, etc….
A big shoutout to our friend Bryan Siegal for sharing his experience across multiple ERP implementations at manufacturing startups that were ready to scale. I hope you find our conversation as enlightening as I did!
There’s been a few ERP partnerships recently including SAP and Databricks:
