If SAP is like “pouring concrete into a company”, isn’t it time to reinvent business processes?
Having been an analyst for the best part of nearly two decades, the big ERPs have always maintained a stranglehold over the majority of the global 2000. Any service or technology enhancement has to connect / integrate / work-around the existing ERP template.

Why Mobile Does Matter to GRC
Explore The Decision Factor Blog
In a recent interview I was asked, “what is mobile GRC, and how does it help?” Afterwards, I realized that I had underestimated the potential impact of mobility on governance, risk, and compliance.

Johannesburg still trying to get revenue right - Auditor General still unhappy
The City of Johannesburg, SA’s largest municipality and home to 1.4 million households, has again received a qualified audit report from the auditor-general (AG), because it could not provide accurate revenue figures.
The dilemmas in the report, which covers the year to June 2012 and has only recently been released, have been laid at the foot of the years-long billing crisis, which occurred as a result of post-implementation issues with the city’s move to SAP.
