	February 6, 2006 A Tale of Two Models For Instance Consolidation Business Process Approaches On The Journey Toward Single-Instance ERP by R "Ray" Wang with John Ragsdale, Ian Schuler

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

While governance models are a key factor in instance consolidation, additional factors include product and services homogeneity, the geographic nature of the business, and company size. Because achieving "big-bang" single instance requires a colossal effort, pioneering enterprises take a phased approach to instance consolidation. The lessons learned from companies that have undertaken such a project revolve around a holistic view of the people, processes, technology, and the business case required to rationalize instances. Based on these findings, Forrester provides several practical approaches that apply these new consolidation factors — enabling noncentralized organizations to come a few steps closer to single-instance ERP.
