ERP Software Selection
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is designed to integrate business processes across departments into a single enterprise-wide manufacturing systems program. When you implement an ERP system, you can expect better coordination across functional departments, as well as increased efficiencies in doing business. Our clients report reduced operating costs in such areas as inventory control, production, marketing, and help-desk support.
Whether you’re making your initial purchase or replacing your current systems, our consultants will provide a comprehensive framework for selection and implementation. Our phased approach aligns your company’s business objectives with the proper business software. With close attention to methodology, management tools, project team building, and research, we can help you select software with confidence and prepare your team for a successful implementation.
Our first step is to conduct a top-level strategic review to confirm your business requirements and verify the major issues involved in making the transition to a new ERP system. We then meet with your system users to determine their process requirements. Once this information has been shared, discussed, and analyzed, we develop a list of systems that meet your requirements. We then conduct research, often utilizing SoftSelect methods and scoring tools to further evaluate vendors and produce a short list of appropriate systems.
