Effective document management, also known as Output Management, is crucial for ERP implementation, operation, and efficiency. Small operational disruptions, such as printing issues or a report that stops working for several days, can have significant financial consequences for a business.

The book explores the role of Output Management and addresses some of the most common questions and considerations around ERP Output Management. Here’s a selection of chapter titles from the book:

• Will the solution become so expensive that you lose the deal?
• A complex project requires special attention
• Best-of-Breed or Best-of-Suite?
• The dilemma: Business benefits or simplicity?
• Add-on solution versus document coding: Evergreen divides opinions
• What do business documents say about automatic updates?
• What characterizes a good ERP implementation partner?
• Why do Output Management needs vary so much from company to company?

The book is intended for business leaders, IT and ERP architects, and students.

It will benefit a wide range of individuals in various types of companies, from top management looking to optimize the bottom line to ERP architects who want to ensure they can advise their clients in the best possible way. The Output Management book also helps students understand the impact of documents on business operations and the importance of considering this area from the beginning of a new IT system implementation. The book specifically focuses on four key roles that you may identify with:

1. End Customer: Recipient of documents and the ERP customer’s customer
2. ERP Customer: ERP project owner and sender of documents
3. ERP Partner: ERP implementation specialist and consultant
4. Output Management Consultant: Specialist in designing and implementing output management systems

Handling invoices, delivery notes, labels, and other business-critical documents is a small but important area in an ERP project—regardless of the industry or size of the business.

The market for Output Management software is like a child walking into a candy store—many good options, and it can be hard to choose. Therefore, the success of the ERP project heavily depends on selecting Output Management software that meets the specific business’s requirements for business documents. This book will make you more aware of the factors you should consider and how to go about implementing them.
