An ERP implementation has a lot of moving parts, but one of the most overlooked is who's actually looking out for you throughout the project.

Your vendor brings a project manager to the table, but that person works for the vendor. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, Deborah Kaminetzky, founder of DeFacto PM, joins to talk about what role a client-side project manager plays during an ERP project and why the difference matters more than most organizations realize.

Deborah has worked both sides of the table, and brings a refreshingly honest point of view on where implementations go wrong. The conversation covers everything from how to handle workarounds your team has built, to why including more stakeholders during discovery calls can save a project down the line. 

If you've ever wondered whether your ERP project has the right people in the right roles, this episode offers valuable perspective on how to evaluate that.
