Deploying Enterprise SystemsWydanie 1

This book focuses on topics that business managers and project teams in global enterprises need to understand and follow to successfully deploy an Enterprise System (ES) for their organization. It explains: Why this type of software product will appeal to global organizations with the promise to replace their older individual systems with a single integrated ES and how an ES allows companies to integrate their unique operations with a single system of many integrated modules that are designed to provide prebuilt and tested applications; New concepts, steps, risks, and methods that an organization should follow to successfully create and deploy an ES; and the top 10 reasons that ES projects fail and the practices to manage these risks. In addition, the book describes a new Implementation Model and methods to ensure success in deploying an ES across a firm with several divisions, international operations, product lines, and infrastructure. Essentially, this book:

• Describes, in non-technical terms, what business functions this new software product will improve
• Shows how an enterprise should use this software product to accomplish their goals to install and use this new technology to upgrade their older systems
• Explains what an organization’s management and project teams should avoid during selecting, planning, and implementing their ES to avoid common mistakes
• Describes the skills and experience (including IT and general management) the Project Manager must have to lead the project team(s) to implement this advanced system.
