The ERP challenge

There is an ever-increasing number of new ERP systems all promising broad functionality to address the needs of the modern business. However, research continues to show that most businesses do not achieve the expected benefit from their investments in ERP and other IT systems. This can make selecting and implementing a new ERP system a daunting prospect.

As a result of this, and perhaps their own bad experiences, many businesses decide to “make do” with ageing legacy ERP systems, despite their shortcomings, rather than risk the cost, disruption and pain involved in selecting and implementing a new ERP system.

Proven support for ERP success

Our role is to help you avoid the may pitfalls associated with ERP projects and to successfully select and implement the right system (or systems) to support your business and its future growth.

Our support is respected and valued by system vendors who value of the role we play in advising clients who are selecting and implementing ERP systems.

By ensuring that there are clearly defined project objectives and system requirements, we ensure they understand how a project will be deemed successful by you.

This therefore gives them the best chance of delivering an effective solution that maximises your return on investment.

Unlike some ERP consultants, we do not use generic template specification documents that could be for any business and add little in terms of value for vendors.
