Feedback from 2010 ERP Boot Camp Participants

This newly scheduled ERP training session follows Panorama’s December ERP Boot Camp, which was considered a great success by the attendees. The December session had a very broad and diverse group of people attending, including ERP project managers, CIOs, and IT Directors from around the United States and the Asia Pacific region. Attendee feedback included the following comments:

   * “The content that we received is invaluable. It is a great opportunity to take a step back from our current project to get a greater understanding of the big picture, including what you have not even considered yet.”
   * “Very beneficial. Great overview of what to expect with upcoming challenges.”
   * “Right on the button. I learned lots of new stuff (OCM) and reinforced my ERP implementation skills.”
   * “Best value for the money seminar I have ever attended. Every manager involved in an ERP implementation should take this course.”

ERP Boot Camp Topics

This unique, continuing education opportunity is designed for practitioners eager to become better implementation project managers, successfully manage their ERP initiatives, and incorporate best practices into their organizations. ERP Boot Camp will cover the following topics and activities:

   * Overview of common ERP implementation challenges and obstacles
   * Fundamentals of ERP implementation project management
   * Deep dive analysis of ERP implementation benchmarks and best practices
   * Implementation lessons learned from ERP implementation failures and lawsuits

“Without the right expertise and tool set, ERP implementations can be extremely challenging and overwhelming,” said Eric Kimberling, president of Panorama Consulting Group. “As a result of our clients asking us to spend more time training their teams to implement more effectively, we created ERP Boot Camp. Panorama’s ERP Boot Camp is a unique way for us to train practitioners on the tools and methods that make our implementations so successful.”
