If you’re asking someone to work for you, help you or advise you, it turns out that being specific about what success looks like is an obvious way to get better results. If everyone can agree on what success looks like, you’re more likely to achieve it. And yet… And yet we prefer to say, “I’ll know it when I see it.” We’re vague, murky or even contradictory about what we want. The reason is simple: If you write a great spec, we get to blame you if it doesn’t work out. The vagueness is a way to hide. If you don’t know what you want now, what makes you think you’ll know what you want later? On the hook. That’s the most effective place to be. - Seth Godin https://lnkd.in/gweg-m7d

This post-election period is anticipated to create a critical window for businesses to enhance ERP systems for efficiency, compliance, and resilience. Stay tuned as we dive into the factors driving this shift over the next few days! #ERPSolutions #USElection2024 #ERPSpending #TechTrends

Just because you can move to a legacy ERP system like NetSuite and Acumatica doesn't mean you should. IMO - Netsuite and the like are great if you are vertically integrated and run complex manufacturing operations. Complex manufacturing operations meaning more than pure kitting and assembly. If your manufacturing is just kitting and assembly, a full fledged ERP is overkill - way too expense and complicated to manage. So be careful. More and more brands that moved to ERP platforms too early are getting off and going back to QBO + spreadsheets. So fair warning - if you're evaluating a move to an ERP platform, make sure it's actually the right fit for you.

Trump Wins 2024: What This Means for the U.S. ERP Market With Donald Trump returning to the White House, his economic policies are primed to impact the ERP sector in powerful ways. Here’s how: 1. Corporate Tax Cuts = Fueling ERP and Tech Investments With Trump’s proposed corporate tax rate reduction to 15% and plans to extend 2017 TCJA provisions, companies will likely have additional resources for technology upgrades. This extra capital is expected to boost ERP investment, driving digital transformation across sectors like manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain. 2. Trade Policy Shifts = Demand for Compliance-Ready ERP Systems As trade restrictions are reintroduced, companies involved in global supply chains will need adaptable ERP systems to stay compliant with evolving regulations. Demand for ERP solutions with robust compliance tracking and real-time visibility is likely to rise, especially among U.S.-based manufacturing and distribution companies. 3. Labor Policies = Pressures on ERP Talent Supply With Trump’s administration leaning toward stricter immigration policies, the availability of specialized ERP talent could be affected. Companies may face challenges in sourcing skilled professionals, which may lead to higher costs or increased reliance on automation to meet demands in ERP management and implementation. 4. Talent Shortages = The Need for Quality Recruitment Strategies This is where quality firms like OP Technology can make a difference. In a tight labor market, partnering with an expert recruitment team can streamline your hiring process and help you secure the best talent in ERP and tech. Oliver Parks has the strategies and market insight needed to navigate these challenges, bringing top-tier candidates to your door to keep your ERP projects moving forward efficiently. Trump’s presidency may usher in new challenges, but with the right recruitment strategies and technology investments, companies can navigate these shifts successfully. #ERP #Trump2024 #DigitalTransformation #TaxPolicy #D365 #NetSuite #SAP #ERPMarket

In my years helping clients adopt NetSuite to meet their unique goals, here are the top 3 things I’ve seen businesses accomplish:   ✔️Growth If you know what’s going on in your business – from profit and loss to production schedules and timelines – you can make better decisions that fuel growth.   ✔️Cost savings Streamlining operations and eliminating inefficiencies will allow you to reduce overhead expenses and help you allocate resources more effectively.   ✔️Compliance adherence If you stay ahead of regulatory changes, you can avoid expensive penalties and save a lot of wasted time.   Reach out to me if you’d like to walk through how NetSuite can help transform your business.

What are the most common voc research methodologies? The following is from groups called Wind Talker and NetSuite. There are a variety of methodologies each with pros and cons represented in this nice wheel graphic. Select the one or several which best fit. Remember people it is effectiveness first then efficiency second. Insights before validation. If you are looking for in depth phone interviews, DM me. They are like one on one focus groups.
