ERP HEADtoHEAD™ Netherlands

ERP is about increasing business efficiency. So how about gaining knowledge on ERP systems that might otherwise take months of planning and meetings to achieve?

Our ERP HEADtoHEAD™ event offers a unique opportunity to meet, compare and experience leading ERP vendors and their products. After nine successful editions in the UK and Ireland, we are bringing this two-day event to the Netherlands.

What is in it for you?

- Compare 9 leading ERP vendors and their products at 1 event
- Attend keynote speeches on ‘Are you ERP Ready?’ and ‘What Makes Successful ERP Projects’
- Meet vendors face-to-face at their stand or at a pre-arranged 1-1 meeting
- Review the products based on defined scripts covering Finance, Production, Projects and Sales
- Attend elevator pitches from all the vendors
- Listen to a panel discussion addressing the most common mistakes made during ERP projects
- Network and compare experiences with other organisations also planning to implement ERP

ERP products competing for your attention

What to expect?

The event will take place over a two day period and will be facilitated by Lumenia.
Attendees can make a choice – attend for one day and review three/four products or attend for two days and review seven.
Lumenia will welcome attendees at the start of Day 1. On Day 1, all vendors will take part in an “Elevator Speech” to introduce themselves.
During this session vendors will present a summary of their USPs to convince delegates why it would be a good idea to attend their presentation.
Delegates can choose to attend demonstrations focused on Finance, Production, Projects, Sales Quotation or Sales High Volume.
Each demonstration will be 60 minutes in duration.
All demonstrations will be based on defined high-level Scripts covering Finance, Production, Projects, Sales Quotation or Sales High Volume.
There will be 3 demonstration rooms, with three/four products being demonstrated in each room, each day. See Agenda below.
Outside the demonstration rooms, there will be a common area, where each vendor will have a stand and where more detailed demonstrations can be provided or specific requirements can be discussed.
At the end of Day 2 there will be a panel discussion involving companies who have already implemented ERP, who will share their experiences.
Day 1 and 2 will include a vendor-independent presentation from Lumenia Consulting.
Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided on both days, and a drinks reception will take place on the evening of day one, offering further opportunities for networking.
At the end of Day 2 we will have a formal Wrap-up and make a presentation to the vendor that has scored the highest on their presentations with the ‘ERP HEADtoHEAD™ Best Vendor Demonstration – Netherlands 2018’.
We will have a draw for a prize of an Apple Watch up for grabs, for attendees who registered for the event for the 2 days and attend the Wrap-up session.
There will be a second draw for another Apple Watch for delegates who return completed Feedback Forms.
