Ok, granted, this time there’s actually something substantial behind the clickbait title. Imagine the following setting: Read more!

Can you name that brand that uses the slogan “Just do it!”? Not too hard, right? Regardless of how you feel about a marketing campaign, you’re bound to associate it with a product or brand. Why shouldn't the same be true for a project?

Do you know the difference between classic and intelligent ERP systems? The latter involves intelligent assistants providing support when making complex operational decisions or controlling selected business processes autonomously. They are based on mathematical models for prediction and optimization. In these mathematical models, real facts are translated into the language of mathematics, meaning questions can be answered using mathematical methods. Unlike classic ERP systems, intelligent solutions therefore have a kind of dictionary, which gives them direct access to the precise and complex world of mathematics.

Developing intelligent ERP solutions is something different. It starts with an idea, a goal, a concept – but no one knows exactly what hurdles need to be cleared in order to make it a reality. The journey into unknown territory will place specific demands on the team. Furthermore, intelligent ERP projects require a whole host of skills, which is why our team at COSMO CONSULT is interdisciplinary.

The term “intelligent ERP” is everywhere nowadays. But almost no one knows what it means. The explanation often involves other acronyms or Anglicisms, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, or Industry 4.0. But, what does intelligent ERP mean for German machine and plant manufacturers? What are the specific benefits?

A lot has been said and written about artificial intelligence (AI). Fueled by digitalization, the process industry is becoming increasingly open to the use of AI. AI-supported decision-making processes automate processes in robotics as well as in speech and image processing. This makes it even more surprising that only a few ERP systems in process manufacturing already use this technology.

Intelligent assistants are expanding the potential of conventional ERP systems. The aim is to exploit existing business data for predictions and optimizations, save costs and work more efficiently. Intelligent ERP systems are not a random innovation. COSMO CONSULT is reacting to a rapidly growing demand as many company solutions are no longer fully satisfying increasing operational requirements.

You know how it is. A new project starts. You’ve heard one or two things through the grapevine, and then finally it’s kick-off time. Everyone’s psyched and motivated and then…

What makes an ERP implementation successful? Is it magic or just luck? Neither! And this answer probably doesn’t surprise you. But what is it then? What determines the success of an ERP implementation? Just between us, here are our top 5 secrets!

Time to clear the dead wood! As digitization advances at a breathtaking pace, companies are finding themselves under increasing pressure to respond to the challenges ahead in a timely manner. Here, modern, flexible and networked enterprise software generates data en masse, data that will need to be used for future decision-making within the digital value chain.
