In this episode, CADTALK's Scott Brickler and Jeff Brickler tackle one of manufacturing's most pressing questions: How long does it really take to integrate your engineering and ERP systems?

Drawing from over 100 implementation projects, they share their proven 5-phase approach to successful system integration:

• Initiate: Getting systems connected
• Educate: Understanding key processes and capabilities
• Collaborate: Defining data transformations
• Generate & Validate: Building and testing rules
