8 years, $1 Bn ERP System – Worth It?
In a related post I copied an WSJ article that discusses a very large ERP system implementation at Dow Chemical. The system processes ~ 7 million transactions / day and counts > 16,000 unique daily users.
Note: I was a member of this implementation team (i.e. a very small portion of the $1Bn investment paid my salary).
Questions:
- Why would an implementation take this long and cost so much?
- Given the information shared – why would Dow Chemical company approve such a large investment?
