The ERP Perspective: Why ERP Selection Has Changed Forever with Andy Pratico (Essential Software Solutions)

Choosing an ERP has never been more challenging.

And one wrong decision can impact your business for the next decade.

In this episode of The ERP Perspective, we're joined by Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions to explore why organisations need to rethink the way they evaluate, select, and implement ERP systems.

Because successful ERP projects don't start with software.

They start with better decisions.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why ERP selection has fundamentally changed
• The illusion of the "perfect" ERP demonstration
• Why speaking to reference customers is one of the smartest things you can do
• Why 73% of organisations are dissatisfied with their ERP
• Why ERP success is 80% people and 20% functionality
• Understanding the difference between FedRAMP and CMMC
• How AI is changing the future of ERP evaluation and selection

Key takeaway:
The best ERP system isn't the one with the longest feature list.

It's the one that aligns with your business, your people, and your long-term strategy.

The organisations that achieve the greatest value from ERP don't simply choose better software.

They make better decisions before implementation even begins.
