Leaning on a rich career in the ERP software industry, he quickly developed the principles and methods found in Common Sense ERP And assisted many companies in successful ERP selections.
After a long and successful career watching the ERP software industry grow and change, I have long wanted to teach others what I knew about the industry. Unfortunately, the ERP industry has been characterized by an elitist crowd of people who have overpriced and imposed a certain arrogance on buyers of ERP software. I want to change that because ERP systems are essential to the long term success and value of a company and I plan to transfer the upper hand to the buyer, and not the seller.: By Daniel Carr.
Dan continues to consult within the ERP industry as well as performing other forms of business consulting. He is now working on his second book – Common Sense Business and continues to make investments in the technology field.
