			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, RJMC, a leader in assisting mid-market firms to evaluate and select new system solutions, launched its new website.  An integral part of the new website is the <a href="http://www.rjmc.net/erp-calculator/" target="_self">RJMC ERP Budget Calculator</a>.</p>
<p>In the process of working with a large number of firms over the past 24 years, one question that frequently comes to the fore at the beginning of each project is “How much will a new ERP solution cost?”  That can be a very difficult question to answer because each company has its own unique system requirements and there are still many commercially available solutions to choose from.</p>
<p>RJMC has taken some of the mystery out of the equation so that a mid-market company can answer but four simple questions and the RJMC ERP Budget Calculator does the rest to provide both a “conservative” and “best case” all-in estimate.</p>
<p>For those companies that would like a more detailed analysis and presentation, RJMC will provide a custom ERP budget presentation.  Call Jeff Dix at 310 / 445-5300 or email <a href="mailto:jeff@rjmc.net?subject=ERP Calculator Question">jeff@rjmc.net</a> for more information.</p>
