Joe Finlinson, Mythics
Abstract:
Birmingham City Council budgeted 19 million pounds to move to Oracle Fusion. The projection now runs past 216 million, and the council issued a Section 114 notice. The technology was never the problem. This session takes apart what goes wrong in ERP migrations: the decisions deferred until go-live; the customizations preserved instead of proven, the warnings overruled. Then we show the method that prevents it, stage by stage, and the three questions every design workshop must answer before a single thing gets configured. If you are heading to Fusion, come find out which of these is already happening on your program.
