Description
Many firms are facing a tough decision as they struggle to select a financial system replacement. Long gone are the days of RFPs with hundreds of accounting processing-type questions, providing you with a clear, objective way to compare vendors. Today, the evaluations are not as crystal clear and key differentiators are much more subjective -- hence the struggle.
The goal of this webinar series is to share lessons learned over the past few years in system selection, to learn about approaches used by your peers during the decision-making process and to provide an open forum to ask questions of your peers and a few seasoned consultants.
In this first webinar of the series, we'll talk about techniques and solutions to overcome common pitfalls and hurdles in the selection process that could derail your project.
