    After giving up on its failed, over-budget $30M ERP deployment, Marin County to start a new ERP selection process Back in June, I wrote here on ForecastingClouds.com about how Marin County, Calif., had sued Deloitte Consulting LLP for $30 million after the SAP ERP project they began together with high hopes in 2006 failed to work as designed and planned. This week, Marin County is taking another step as they work to get their ERP plans back on track -- they're about to announce several alternative steps for bringing in a new ERP system that will finally accomplish their IT goals.

    ERP problems that can cascade through your company's operations are something to be avoided How important is a top-to-bottom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application suite to a hard-charging business? Huge, especially when it leaves that business high and dry in the case of a major failure. That's what apparently happened to automotive wheel making vendor, Superior Industries International, which recently experienced ERP problems that caused the company to delay its second-quarter earnings report as mandated by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, according to a story published late last week on PCWorld.com by IDG News Service.

    Why isn't IT funny? Maybe what IT needs is an occasional pie-in-the-face As a technology journalist, I get a lot of e-mails -- about new IT products and services, corporate mergers and customer wins. On most days, more than 200 e-mails a day often come in, and usually they are very business-like and serious, emulating the typical "this is very important, so please pay attention" tone of a traditional business press release about ERP, CRM, servers and more. That very predictability is what made me notice the unusual, very creative, striking and comical e-mail from CodeWeavers Inc.'s CEO Jeremy White earlier this week.
