When organizations reach an inflection point, they often realize that what got them here won’t get them there. Spreadsheets, siloed systems, or aging tools can’t keep up with the demands of scale, integration, and efficiency. 

That’s where an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system comes in. But choosing an ERP isn’t a “software upgrade.” It’s one of the highest-stakes business decisions leaders will make - one that must align operations, systems, and strategy. Done right, ERP becomes the backbone of growth. Done poorly, it becomes an expensive distraction. 

eCommerce isn’t just an option anymore – it's a fundamental part of how businesses reach and serve their customers. Whether you’re a B2B supplier, a manufacturer, or a retail brand, your buyers expect to find and purchase products online quickly, easily, and on their own schedule. 

If you’re thinking about launching an eCommerce platform, or simply want to make sure you’re doing it right, this guide walks you through the essentials of going digital with purpose and clarity. 

Switching to a new technology represents a change in your company’s status quo. And even though the change may be technical, ultimately managing the transition of your human resources is the determining factor in successful technology adoption. A major part of this transition is training because even the best tech isn’t helpful if people don’t know how to use it! 

So, how do you set up successful training on new technology? 

Businesses evolve constantly and their operations must change with them. This requires process and technology to advance in line with Strategy. Here, we’ll walk through what a process is and how we can identify when process is out of alignment or not as effective as it could be. 

Implementing technology will change your company's established way of operating. While the change itself may be technical in nature, successfully managing how your people transition to the new system determines whether your technology investment pays off. Training is crucial to this process—even the most advanced technology provides little value if employees do not understand how to use it effectively. 

A well-defined IT strategy outlines how an organization will use technology to support its overall goals. It serves as a long-term plan that aligns business priorities with technology capabilities and investments. 

Our current ERP is no longer supported and was built with many customizations and workarounds. How do we fix our business processes so they will work in an out-of-the-box ERP we have already selected? 

We don’t have project management skills in house. How do we get this project done now, while learning how to do future projects ourselves? 

We rely, in part, on data to manage our businesses. So, when moving to a new system, particularly an ERP system, one of the most daunting and important tasks is migrating all that important data from the old system to the new.
