This is an interview I had late last week in Nairobi with Doug Hunter who heads up Customer and Ecosystem Enablement for SYSPRO Africa. Doug s responsible for Support, Consulting, and Education/User-Enablement services to SYSPRO's channel partners and customers within Sub-Saharan Africa. SYSPRO is a major player in Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP systems used by many businesses in Kenya and East Africa with a focus on manufacturing and distribution.
Doug and I spoke at length on all aspects of all things ERP both positive and challenging based on his perspectives of having worked in this space for over three decades. Doug knows what works and what doesn't when it comes to all things ERP where he spends most of his time ensuring SYSPRO's solutions are 'right-sized' for many of their customers in Kenya and East Africa.
At heart, Doug, a Scotsman who emigrated to South Africa, is a manufacturing/logistics business professional - rather than an IT techie, having directly managed different manufacturing operations and supply chains. His passion now is to help such companies discover and implement innovation using people, processes, and appropriate business IT.
