Digital Transformation is not a buzz word, it is a mindset that drives incremental growth in productivity, a platform for innovation, confidence during supply chain disruptions, insight for informed decisions and ultimately competitive advantage through improved quality and customer satisfaction.
The question is – what does it really mean, and how does a company set out a path for meaningful, pragmatic adoption of digital technologies?
To answer these questions – join the experts for a day of learning and unpack the real value of a modern ERP – the core end-to-end engine that purchases your stock, drives and monitors your production floors, controls your quality, enables rapid pricing and improves customer relationships.
With a full day of learning sessions from our ERP experts and live demonstrations of all the core processes supported by a modern ERP today and in the future – you will leave with a clear understanding of why and how to ERP.
