$AAON This is the 3rd quarter in a row of greatly diminished profits. Didn't blame ERP the previous two quarters. New CEO this year. Maybe it is not the new ERP and there have been issues running the company that the new CEO is hoping to fix by installing a new ERP system.
When SAP ERP took over running companies, execs and Wall Street learned that installing anERP system can be a difficult operational transition impacting profits.
Gemini's answer to "how long does it take to install an ERP system": "In summary, while a small business might aim for a 4-6 month timeline, a large organization's project could easily span a year or more. The most successful implementations are those with a well-defined plan, realistic expectations, and a dedicated team to see it through."
AAON execs should have warned about impact of transitioning to a new ERP system causing problems.
