Inside

What you'll take away.

No marketing fluff — five chapters with data and clear recommendations from the field.

  1. 01

    How long does this really take?

    Real numbers on how long an ERP rollout in the mid-market actually takes — per platform and industry, drawn from 400+ projects.

  2. 02

    What will it cost us over three years?

    Licenses, implementation, ongoing maintenance, adjustments — every line item transparent. So you know what you're signing.

  3. 03

    Which software fits us?

    A table by industry, size and business model — no marketing blabla, just recommendations from 400+ projects.

  4. 04

    Are we even allowed to use AI?

    Data protection and the new EU rules of 2026 — how it works in practice, without you having to become a compliance officer.

  5. 05

    What should we concretely do?

    A clear decision tree: if your company looks like X, then Y is the obvious path. On a single page, printable.
