It is common industry practice for ERP projects to be IT-focused rather than business-focused, which means they do not prioritize the company's objectives. Andreas Leiting develops an interdisciplinary approach to connect the corporate goals with IT goals through business process management. The book is divided into two parts. The first part illustrates how corporate objectives can and must be taken into account in the design and implementation of IT systems through process optimization methods—IT must serve the company's purpose and should not be an end in itself. The second part provides a practical example of a specific ERP implementation, highlighting the significant challenges faced by management and the project team, the difficulties to be overcome, and the methods and procedures to be employed. The book adds essential insights.
