Ah, the start of a new blog!  A chance to vent and to collaberatively share some thoughts.

Selecting and then implementing a new ERP system in today's world doesn't seem to be much about technology, but rather mainly about business process.  Companies embark on such a selection and view it as hardware and software - it's really people and processes.  And certainly, the act of ERP selection needs to be a process with defined steps and stages.  Calling up software vendors and jumping right into demo's seems a great way to define your seleciton in terms of the "neatest" screens - unfortunately most companies never ever use the "neat" stuff - it never leaves the demo session.  There's a lot of good jokes that have "OK, demo's over...." as the punchline.
