What is the Practical ERP Replacement Strategy course about?
Legacy ERP environments in multi-site programs often operate in silos, leading to inconsistent reporting, duplicated efforts, and delayed responses to regulatory or market shifts. Upgrading them is complicated by interdependencies, change resistance, and unclear governance, yet doing nothing locks organizations into declining agility and rising technical debt.
