ERP SOFTWARE SELECTION
Choosing a new software application for your business, whether a core system or a specific component to integrate, is a detailed process that is best served with a combination of industry knowledge, software market, and selection process knowledge, as well as experience with vendor relationships management. Having a designated leader driving this process and ensuring that the correct stakeholders from the business are included is critical to the success of the process. An independent software selection consultant is often used to fill this role.
Our value stems from working in industry, education in industrial engineering, a network of thousands of professionals in the ERP space, team members with specific skillsets to properly document requirements for each area of your business, and the experience that comes with bringing over 100 businesses through an ERP go-live.
Guiding Your ERP Software Selection, Integration Choices, and equally important, Partner Selection
We lead ERP software selection as a structured, vendor-neutral process, not a beauty contest. We start with cross-functional requirements (executive, finance, operations, supply chain, sales) and translate them into a plain-English RFP that drives apples-to-apples responses on functionality, pricing, and key assumptions. From there, we build and score a long list, design scripted demos using your scenarios and data, and organize total cost of ownership views across licenses, services, and ISVs before negotiating contracts and SOWs. The result is a well-documented, defensible selection and a stronger position as you move into implementation.
When you select a new ERP system, you are also selecting an implementation partner. Most ERP vendors rely on third-party partners that specialize in specific platforms and industries. We help you evaluate and choose a partner who understands your industry best practices, brings experience with similar companies, and fits your culture. That way, the team leading configuration, training, and communication is aligned with how your people work, not just how the software is delivered.
STRUCTURED, VENDOR-NEUTRAL PROCESS
Through a proven methodology built on structured requirements discovery, RFPs, scorecards, and scripted demos, we enable you to compare systems on objective criteria instead of sales narratives.
TRANSPARENT VIEW OF INVESTMENT
We organize vendor pricing, services estimates, and key options side-by-side so your team understands the implications of each path before making a decision.
CONFIDENCE AND ALIGNMENT IN THE CHOICE
Clear requirements, weighted scorecards, and Total Cost of Ownership models give executives a defensible, well-documented decision everyone can stand behind.
