BI applications will be useful toward certain situations, what is on the market though that can keep an ongoing and real time assessment of a company's ERP usage? Suppose you implement something to do this, you've still got to tie all of that data into a constantly updating information system modeled on what all the vendors can do for you. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for some bright analyst firm. Mike, that sounds like a good way of approaching the problem but how do you assess the meaning of the data?

If your ERP applications are properly factored and dynamic, data collection can be a continuous, optimizing process. Mike Peteg Capturing user requirements/etc annually sounds like a lot of work.
