ERP Assessments
An ERP assessment is a process improvement activity offered by Opticca (www.opticca.com) generally engaged by customers to provide a reality check on the functionality of their ERP system, but often offering a broader operational procedure review. With this kind of audit, incremental improvements can be identified which can be implemented quickly with a very high return on investment. These can include immediate training activities, procedure definitions, introduction of simple reports or uncovering unused reports.
