ERP PANEL
We are trying something new at this
months Professional Development Meeting. We
will be hosting an ERP Panel of professionals from around the area who have been
instrumental in the implementation of ERP for their company. Each company selected a different system so there
will be a variety of experiences discussed. The
panelists will also present theory as well as practical application.
Some of the questions that will be
asked of the panelists are:
 | What was the business
issue that you were working to solve? |
 | Why did your company
select ERP? |
 | Why did your company
select the particular system & software package it did?
|
 | Do you believe that your
company is operating more effectively now that you have ERP? If so, how? |
 | What were some of the
immediate benefits or measurable differences that you found upon becoming an ERP user? |
There will also be time for questions and answers from
the audience.

Our panel includes:
Jeff Davey, VP Information Systems, Bently Nevada
Jim Hayes, VP Operations, Haws Corporation
John Kirsh, CEO, Sportif
Ron Tibben-Lembke, Professor of Logistics, UNR
Our Moderator is Bruce Marshall.
Bruce is the senior
managing associate of Prizm Solutions,
with more than 25 years of comprehensive P&L experience in entrepreneurial
