While procuring the right ERP system can be tough for even the most well-run organizations, the real effort lies in implementing these systems, which can be an extremely complex endeavor. Today’s ERP project managers are faced with daunting challenges. They are required to successfully lead organizations through increasingly complex ERP implementations. As government budgets have become lean, project managers are tasked with accomplishing more with less and within tighter time frames. In response, informed project managers must seek training that will prepare them for the increased challenges that they face.

The course has been developed to address the specific needs of the public-sector ERP project manager, and is taught by trained professionals with extensive experience in public-sector project management.
