Who this is for

Senior IT leaders, enterprise architects, transformation managers, and technology strategists in organizations with 1,000+ employees and established ERP footprints.

Who this is not for

Startups, freelancers, or individuals seeking certification or introductory ERP concepts.

What you walk away with

  • Develop a board-ready ERP replacement proposal aligned with enterprise architecture principles
  • Evaluate ERP vendors with a structured, bias-resistant assessment framework
  • Design a data migration strategy that preserves integrity across legacy and new systems
  • Orchestrate organizational change with targeted communication and adoption levers
  • Implement governance models that ensure long-term system stability and compliance
