ERP: Hard to Implement? Effective?

Speaker: Naveen Ravindran

Managing Partner, Endeavor Japan

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems attempt to provide an integrated, consolidated, up-to-date view of company-wide resources across department, function and geographic boundaries.

Our speaker will cover the evolution of ERP systems—from the early spot solutions to today’s fully integrated systems. Implementation of ERP systems can be painful, enormously complex, and expensive. What are the major deployment issues 90% of the time? How can organizations effectively use ERP, and benefit from the large IT investments required?

Naveen Ravindran is a Bachelor of Engineering from Pune, India, and is currently pursuing a MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
He has over 12 years of experience in ERP—spanning pre-sales, Client Engagement Management, implementation and Project Management—and also BPR & Organization Change Management experience. Endeavor Japan handles localization, & ERP Roll-out projects, for US & German multinationals in Japan and South East Asia (South Korea, Indonesia & Singapore).
