Any implementation of an ERP system is a two-step process. First, the software must be configured and implemented and the whole company must start using it.

For most companies, this process leads to a better situation. Yet there are 2 major problems when it’s time to get the data out of the ERP system and make use of the data to optimize a company’s business:

• Getting the data out of many applications into one unified, non-duplicated form
• Combining that data with other sources to enrich it, add context, and make it useful for analyzing business performance
