"ERP Enlightenment" conjures images of corporate millenarianism and beige-toned transcendence, as if the arbiter of judgement were arcane B2B systems, the truth of which is held by a select few consultant-priests.
It is going to 4 times over budget and take 6 times longer to implement - don't believe anything the consultants predict.
We were promised the same thing when we replaced our in house ERP system - the consultants NEVER left , they just cycled in and out from the same firm and the total cost were about a billion in our local currency.
One of local retailers SPAR just implemented EWM - Warehouse Management - stores could not order goods from the DC of the KZN region because of it , they had to order from outside the region at greater cost.

It tanked their results for the financial year.
