Every company today is at least thinking of digitising their operations - or at least part of their operations.  However, most companies see this as a task so daunting that ultimately the gain doesn’t seem to outweigh the pain. From 8 figure quotations for implementation to statistics that point to high failure rates, it can be difficult to make a compelling case to make the change. And yet, the pressure to be a fully integrated part of industry 4.0 persists. That might be beginning to change … not the need for greater operational technology, but the hurdles in bringing it into your organisation. Today we are joined by Tom Pierce, President of Integrated Information Systems, which helps companies with integrated business planning, cost and schedule analysis, and cross-functional collaboration. He has parlayed his diverse background that includes military service, pastoral ministry, and application software to developing an approach to ERP solutions that combines human intelligence with innovative software thus bridging the gap between human and computer systems Today Tom will be discussing:  1. The art of ERP implementation: Why it's more than just a science 2. Balancing human and technological resources for maximum efficiency 3. Integrating legacy MRP/ERP and logistics systems with emerging technologies 4. How software solutions can benefit small and medium-sized businesses USEFUL LINKS: Asianet Consultants website:  https://asianetconsultants.com Connect with Tom Pierce:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-pierce-6799b356/ I2S website:   i2s.us  Visit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm
