ERP PACKAGE SELECTION

The selection of an ERP software package may seem like a daunting task. Our experienced staff will lead you through the steps required to understand your needs and to match those needs to the software available.

Once your team has defined the business requirements, we will bring together the few software vendors that will most likely meet your needs. We can then help you with evaluating each vendor and selecting the vendor that will best meet your business needs. We can also help you in defining the business requirements. We can take you through the entire software selection process. We will not do it for you, however, we will ensure that your team goes through all the steps necessary to make the best decision possible.

We strongly believe that the ultimate success of your package implementation depends on the level of involvement of your team in the selection of the software. It is our philosophy, that we should not select the software for you, but rather, that we should assist you in your software selection.

Key Benefits

  • Software chosen based on business benefits provided.

  • Your team has total buy-in to the package selected and its benefits.

  • You will be able to make a decision within a relatively quick amount of time.

The Process

There is no magic to selecting the right ERP software. It is a matter of understanding the business needs generated by the business processes that you want to improve with the software package. We can lead you through the development of the business requirements and match those to the software availability today.

Steps in the process:

  1. Team Creation

  2. Scope Definition (What Problem Are You Trying to Solve?)

  3. Business Process Review

  4. Business Requirements Definition

  5. Software Screening Process

  6. Selection - Making the decision

  7. Approval Process (this step is often overlooked as far as the amount of time it takes)

  8. Contract Negotiations (this sometimes comes before the selection step)

The next aspect of the project moves into the implementation planning and implementation execution phases.
