How do you respond to those in your company who propose two-tiered ERP? Text in the wave in the center of the cover: If you need help determining your company's overall enterprise software strategy and how two-tiered ERP fits in, this book is for you. Two-tiered ERP is widely understood as the use of different ERP systems for different layers of an organization. Until this book, the effectiveness of a two-tiered ERP strategy could only be determined through anecdotal evidence, the marketing literature of ERP vendors, and the advice of consulting companies. By understanding two-tiered ERP within the context of ERP's history, readers will see how two-tiered ERP may represent a crack in the facade of "big ERP," and will know how to formulate a comprehensive and logical response to proposals about implementing a two-tiered strategy. By reading this book you will: Eliminate confusion over definitions of two-tiered, multi-tiered, and single instance ERP. Review SAP and Oracle's Tier 1 and Tier 2 ERP products. Understand why two-tiered and single instance ERP is not the best strategy. Appreciate that WHAT is written about two-tiered ERP depends greatly upon WHO is writing it. Recognize the logic used by vendors to sell two-tiered ERP and whose interests are being served by a two-tiered strategy. Learn an alternative strategy that provides functionality, cost savings, and the best return on investment. If you are just beginning your research on ERP, read the companion book by the same author, The Real Story Behind ERP: Separating Fiction from Reality first, as it provides the most exhaustive history of ERP currently published."

You've read the books, but...A wealth of material has been written to describe the underlying mechanics of ITSM, but very little practical advice is available on how to implement ITSM best practices to achieve an organization's business objectives. The official ITIL(R) volumes explain what service management is, how the processes work and fit together, and why IT shops should adopt the practice, but they are notoriously vague on how to design and implement an ITSM model in a real organization. This challenge is best understood by those with experience of transforming ineffective and expensive IT, yet most ITSM guides are authored from a purely academic standpoint. From the classroom to the real world This book provides guidance on implementing ITSM Best Practices in an organization based on the authors' real-world experiences. Advice is delivered through a Ten-Step approach, with each step building upon the successes of its predecessors. Subjects covered include - * Documenting objectives, identifying current and future demands, analyzing service financials. * High-level design, negotiating development priorities, creating an execution plan and roadmap, agreeing roles and responsibilities. * Detailed design, building, testing, deploying. * Monitoring and continual improvement. Each step includes summary lists of key questions to ask and specific actions to take, and a useful business case template is included as an appendix. A practical guide to ITSM Improvement As organizations seek to boost revenue, cut costs and increase efficiency, they increasingly look to IT as a strategic partner in achieving these objectives. Ten Steps to ITSM Success helps IT to prepare for this role by providing a detailed and practical guide to implementing ITSM best practices. It is aimed at ITSM practitioners and consultants, but will also be of interest to IT Directors and C-suite executives looking to transform the role of IT into a value-creating business partner, to establish a service management culture, and to drive improvements in their respective organizations.
