While many ERP transformations begin with high expectations, they often result in increased complexity, rising ongoing costs and new digital dependencies. Rather than simplifying the IT landscape, they result in the addition of extra systems, interfaces and processes, which lead to significant digital debt in the long term.

Historically evolved system landscapes slow down business processes, make innovation more difficult and frequently prevent organisations from taking advantage of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence within day-to-day operations.

Meanwhile, companies that continue to operate with fragmented system landscapes, manual workflows and custom solutions are under increasing pressure. Added to this are critical knowledge dependencies related to legacy technologies, processes, and key individuals, which increase risks to growth, maintainability, and future viability.

In this webinar, Joachim Zürn, Director Consulting & Business Development at SPH AG, provides a practical perspective on the key success factors behind modern ERP transformations. For more than 30 years, he has been responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of complex ERP projects within the fashion and retail industry. Having successfully supported more than 60 go-lives and rollouts in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment, he has first-hand experience of the challenges, risks and root causes of growing digital debt.

What you will learn:

• Why ERP projects are not purely IT projects.
• What causes increasing digital debt and unnecessary complexity.
• Which risks organisations frequently underestimate during ERP transformations.
• How modern solution landscapes support growth, agility and innovation.
• How AI can make ERP projects more efficient and cost effective.
• How business teams, IT departments and operational functions can work together successfully.
