Configuration Management Inside ERP

By Nancy McDonnell, Dr. Harvey McDonnell, Dr Harvey McDonnell

Configuration Management Inside ERP reveals why traditional configuration practices are no longer sufficient in an era of software-defined systems, cybersecurity threats, global supply chains, and expanding regulatory oversight.

This definitive enterprise guide shows how lifecycle governance must be integrated directly into ERP execution environments to create a unified digital thread that connects engineering authority, operational execution, supplier control, audit readiness, and cybersecurity traceability.

Inside, you will learn:

- Why disconnected lifecycle systems create hidden operational risk
- How to integrate configuration governance into ERP structures
- How to build full lifecycle traceability across engineering, production, software, and suppliers
- How integrated governance enables continuous audit readiness and cybersecurity response
- How organizations can deploy CM-ERP integration using a realistic maturity roadmap

Written for executives, program leaders, engineers, ERP administrators, supply chain professionals, compliance officers, and cybersecurity teams, this book presents lifecycle governance not as an engineering process, but as enterprise infrastructure.

Because in the modern enterprise, success no longer depends only on what you build.

It depends on whether you can prove - at any moment - exactly what exists, where it exists, and how it got there.
