Would like to see some more discussion on the data conversion piece - most companies are faced with the decision of converting legacy data to the ERP system. Also, there should be some discussion about the need for a parallel test environment - essentially doubling your soft ware implementation costs because of the purchase of essentially two production environments. These are material factrs associated with any ERP implementation.

Material was well organized, insightful and helpful. At some points the presenter seems to get in a hurry and falls into speed-reading the script, making it a little hard to follow, but overall a good course and I recommend it for the toolbox.

Decent roadmap of the implementation process. Especially liked the "all vendors lie" comment. Presenters microphone picked up a lot of background office noise...had me reaching to answer the phone more than once.

This course is a very effective overview of an ERP system implementation process. Since I have prior related experience this area, I was able to relate each step in a practical sense.

I was a good overview to implementing an ERP system, but I was hoping to see more of the nuts and bolts of what an ERP system looks like.

Good overview of the material. Not enough for a full roadmap, but many things to think through before implementing a new system.

It was a great course with a good overview of ERP implementation. However, it will be good to have some specific examples.

It was a decent course. She may have been an expert, but just reading off of slides is not too impressive.
