Our expert team works inside your business to plan, execute and maximise your investment in an ERP digital transformation.

Needs Assessment and Market Scan 

We map out the key processes of your organisation and identify the pain points that are inefficient or preventing growth.  We also take into consideration your existing IT environment and key strategies for the future. 

We work with you to determine a roadmap based on the organisation's priorities and available resources. 

From there, we determine which potential software solutions can optimise your processes. We will quickly narrow the field to just a handful of the best-fit vendors and advise why we have selected these.

Our analysis includes issuing a RFI to selected vendors.  We do all of the selection tasks necessary, saving you countless hours of contacting vendors, pulling together requirements documents, analysing RFI responses, compiling scorecards, etc.

We obtain realistic cost estimates, including implementation services and annual recurring costs and present this back to you as a “Market Scan” report.

Our Market Scan process provides stakeholders with a clear picture of the business requirements and how these may be addressed (including potential time and investment costs) with a comparison between several ERP solutions.  

ERP Selection 

The next stage is a more detailed evaluation of short-listed products, including product demonstrations.

We work on briefing vendors about preparing for a product demonstration, including providing sample data, process maps and guidelines on what to present.  We schedule the demos and attend these with your team.

Once one or more preferred vendors have been selected, we manage the process of issuing a  RFP and reviewing responses and the associated software and professional services terms and conditions.  We provide our feedback on the best overall package as an independent advisor.

Key Considerations

• Cost Impact: The upfront investment in ERP software, hardware, and implementation services can be substantial, making it a significant financial commitment for the organisation.

• Complex Implementation: ERP systems are complex and require extensive planning, customisation, and integration, which can lead to prolonged implementation timelines and potential disruptions to business operations.

• Change Management: Transitioning to an ERP system often involves significant changes to existing processes and workflows, requiring effective change management strategies to ensure employee buy-in and successful adoption.

• Vendor & Partner Selection: Choosing the right ERP vendor is critical and can be challenging, as it involves evaluating various options, understanding their capabilities, and ensuring they align with the organisation’s specific needs and goals.

• Data Migration and Integration: Migrating existing data to a new ERP system and integrating it with other business applications can be technically challenging, time-consuming, and prone to errors, potentially impacting data accuracy and integrity.
