Deep Dive: The Scimitar Solution for Technical Debt

In this episode, we explore what it really takes to modernize ERP systems in higher education. Drawing from the vivid metaphor of Gartner’s Andy Kyte—who once took the stage wielding a scimitar—we unpack why adopting platforms like Workday or Oracle NetSuite won’t transform your institution unless you first confront the complexity you’ve inherited. From over-customized systems to data chaos and brittle workflows, this conversation cuts to the heart of ERP transformation: not technology, but work simplification. If you’re planning your next big implementation, this is the episode you need before making your next move.Based on Substack article:https://dispatchesinternetpioneer.substack.com/p/a-short-brit-with-a-big-knifeEnergetic Business Background Music by LolaMoore -- https://freesound.org/s/754966/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 This is a public episode.
