Does your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system actually do what you want it to do? ERP applications were supposed to seamlessly solve all of our supply chain, order management, and deal approval processes. But these processes cross departments, people and functions, yet your ERP systems do not. So how well are ERP applications really working for you?

If you want to crush your competition, it is imperative that you tune into this webcast and learn how Business Process Management (BPM) is the missing link for making ERP work.

Does your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system actually do what you want it to do? ERP applications were supposed to seamlessly solve all of our supply chain, order management, and deal approval processes. But these processes cross departments, people and functions, yet your ERP systems do not. So how well are ERP applications really working for you?

If you want to crush your competition, it is imperative that you tune into this webcast and learn how Business Process Management (BPM) is the missing link for making ERP work. BPM helps you articulate, automate and optimize processes across silos, systems and functions so you can finally achieve the cost savings, efficiencies, and agility you were meant to have.

If you are trying to attain agility through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), BPM can help you bridge the gap in your ERP systems at a low total cost of ownership and with a rapid implementation time.

Attend this eye-opening webcast with Savvion and AMR analyst Bill Swanton to:

– Make your SAP or other ERP systems actually work the way your people and customers want it to work.

– Bridge the gap between SOA strategies for agility and your existing ERP infrastructure – within 90 days

– Learn 5 actionable steps to make process management – both the discipline and the technology – work within your unique corporate culture

– Hear how leading companies today are making their ERP systems actually work by employing both BPM strategies and technologies
