Ok, I admit to my cynicism, but I have been divorced for a few years. Since that time, I have had “friends” nudging me into the world of online dating. So, a couple years ago I dipped my toe into the online dating pool. It was exciting at first, having access to all these witty, beautiful and interesting women. However, I soon found out that some of their profiles were somewhat misleading. Not merely pictures from curious angles, but what they truly wanted, needed, and desired was at odds with the words in their profiles.
Humbled and wiser, I went back to the old school way of meeting single women – interacting with them in-person, doing activities that we both enjoyed.
What does this have to do with selecting an ERP solution?
Well, if you Google most ERP software websites, they are eerily reminiscent of an online dating profile. They go out of their way to showcase their sizzle and sparkle while neglecting to mention some of their not-so-great aspects. I certainly don’t blame them for showing off how shiny they are; their marketing and sales staff are trying to sell a service and naturally they are leading with their strengths and highlighting their good side. But caveat emptor: it's difficult to get a balanced viewpoint of how and why an ERP could be a good fit for your business solely from a web posting and their marketing department. You need a trusted agent that can help sort the sugar from the salt.
