Examples; 10 of the 990 standard requirements:

  1. Does the ERP address the necessary coordination of its emergency response/contingency procedures with the emergency/response contingency procedures of other organizations where applicable?

  2. Why does it seem like all of the important information you need to make an informed decision about a new ERP vendor has secured away, hidden behind passwords on client only pages?

  3. What activities or other initiatives has ERP supported that have contributed to promoting productive interactions among the various levels of the in service training system?

  4. Why should ERP architecture include a consideration on organizational structure, business processes, and people, instead of just information technology and systems?

  5. What features and functions do you need from a new ERP solution that will help increase users productivity and provide access to the business data users most need?

  6. What is the potential impact that ERP simulations have on the training and the resistance to change factors when your organization implements an ERP system?

  7. Why would anyone in the right mind pay big bucks to purchase, install, upgrade and maintain an on premise ERP solution when there is a better alternative?

  8. What does it take to drive ERP automation and your overall business modernization strategy through emerging automation technologies and service offerings?

  9. Can ERP solutions address the specific needs of procurement teams ranging from cost reduction to increasing efficiencies to gaining strategic foresight?

  10. Should organizations preserve the long term investment in the existing ERP infrastructure, which may create obstacles to achieving any improvements?

Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Epicor investments work better.
