Abstract

The global economic downturn has forced many companies to reevaluate how they do business, in an aggressive effort to cut costs. Budget cuts are reaching 5 to 10 percent or more—and no part of a company is left untouched. But how can companies slash information technology costs and still maintain the same level of production? Here's one interesting strategy: use trained enterprise resource planning students, or TERPS.
