Weathering the ERP Storm: A Survival Guide for Finance Departments
Planning an ERP implementation? It may feel like smooth sailing—until the storm hits.
ERP systems promise better reporting, streamlined processes, and improved efficiency. But without the right preparation, finance teams can quickly find themselves overwhelmed by data issues, testing delays, and the unexpected workload that comes with implementation.
Join LSL Partner Kelly Telford, CPA, as she shares practical guidance for navigating an ERP implementation from start to finish. Drawing on real-world experience implementing ERP systems in local government, Kelly will walk through how to prepare your organization before implementation begins, manage the rollout effectively, and stabilize operations after go-live.
She’ll cover how to:
- Prepare your data, chart of accounts, and processes before implementation begins
- Identify pain points and set clear objectives for your new ERP system
- Support your finance team and other departments through the transition
- Test data, workflows, and integrations to avoid costly surprises at go-live
- Stabilize operations and measure success after implementation
Kelly will also take questions through a live Q&A.
