The aging population and cost pressures continue to challenge healthcare providers. While the industry has made significant investments in healthcare technology, back office systems have lagged other industries. Cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems offer the opportunity to automate and reduce the cost of financial, procurement, supply chain, and human resource business processes. 

Implementing a Cloud ERP system can be a daunting endeavor.  An organization can be overwhelmed by the thousands of features and functions.  While the details are important,  driving an implementation to address key business issues is critical to success.

Common areas of focus typically include:

  • Enabling Agile Supply Chains
  • Streamlining Financial Planning, Management and Control
  • Recruiting, Growing and Retaining Top Talent
  • Information-based Decision Making
  • Digesting Mergers and Acquisitions

Join me as we dig into each item and show how a Cloud ERP system (we will use Oracle) can enable modern best practice processes and drive organizational value.
