Paperback. Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Software: The Ultimate Guide to ERP Selection for Your BusinessEvery year, hundreds of companies invest in new enterprise software or ERP systems convinced they made the right choice. Yet, 12 to 18 months after signing the contract, implementation times have doubled, consulting costs have skyrocketed, and users reject the new tool, clinging to their old spreadsheets.Why does this happen? Because the selection process is often flawed from the start.Choosing an enterprise software is not a standard purchasing activity; it is a long-term strategic decision. However, there is a deep information asymmetry at the negotiating table: software vendors and system integrators do this every day, while you might face it only two or three times in your entire career. Without a rigorous, objective methodology, you risk buying what the vendor is best at selling, rather than what your organization actually needs.Written by an independent project manager and advisor with decades of experience on both sides of the market, this manual provides a pragmatic, brand-neutral framework to govern the entire software selection process. From mapping your initial requirements to signing a bulletproof contract, this step-by-step guide is designed to protect your investment.Inside, you will discover how to: Map Your Processes Effectively: Conduct a proper As-Is and To-Be analysis without spending a fortune on external consultants.Avoid the "Wishlist" Trap: Use the MoSCoW method to categorize your requirements and spot vendor "Red Flags" before it's too late.Calculate the Real TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): Uncover the hidden costs of SaaS, on-premise architectures, and implementation services over a 5-year horizon.Demystify AI in ERPs: Separate genuine, ROI-generating Artificial Intelligence from deceptive "AI Washing" marketing jargon.Choose the Right Partner: Understand why your System Integrator's industry expertise (verticality) is often more critical than the software itself.Negotiate Like a Pro: Learn the essential contract clauses, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and data protection strategies to secure your business and guarantee a safe exit strategy.Whether you run a small business of 15 employees or manage the IT department of a mid-sized enterprise, this guide cuts through the sales pitches. It equips you with the tools, scorecards, and confidence needed to make a foolproof decision and turn your digital transformation into a real competitive advantage.Take control of your software selection.

Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Software: The Ultimate Guide to ERP Selection for Your Business
Every year, hundreds of companies invest in new enterprise software or ERP systems convinced they made the right choice. Yet, 12 to 18 months after signing the contract, implementation times have doubled, consulting costs have skyrocketed, and users reject the new tool, clinging to their old spreadsheets.
Why does this happen? Because the selection process is often flawed from the start.
Choosing an enterprise software is not a standard purchasing activity; it is a long-term strategic decision. However, there is a deep information asymmetry at the negotiating table: software vendors and system integrators do this every day, while you might face it only two or three times in your entire career. Without a rigorous, objective methodology, you risk buying what the vendor is best at selling, rather than what your organization actually needs.
Written by an independent project manager and advisor with decades of experience on both sides of the market, this manual provides a pragmatic, brand-neutral framework to govern the entire software selection process. From mapping your initial requirements to signing a bulletproof contract, this step-by-step guide is designed to protect your investment.
Inside, you will discover how to:
-
Map Your Processes Effectively: Conduct a proper As-Is and To-Be analysis without spending a fortune on external consultants.
-
Avoid the "Wishlist" Trap: Use the MoSCoW method to categorize your requirements and spot vendor "Red Flags" before it's too late.
-
Calculate the Real TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): Uncover the hidden costs of SaaS, on-premise architectures, and implementation services over a 5-year horizon.
-
Demystify AI in ERPs: Separate genuine, ROI-generating Artificial Intelligence from deceptive "AI Washing" marketing jargon.
-
Choose the Right Partner: Understand why your System Integrator's industry expertise (verticality) is often more critical than the software itself.
-
Negotiate Like a Pro: Learn the essential contract clauses, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and data protection strategies to secure your business and guarantee a safe exit strategy.
Whether you run a small business of 15 employees or manage the IT department of a mid-sized enterprise, this guide cuts through the sales pitches. It equips you with the tools, scorecards, and confidence needed to make a foolproof decision and turn your digital transformation into a real competitive advantage.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
