Enterprise Technology Selection

Proven process. Valuable expertise. Our independence and objective enterprise technology selection methodology help ensure that you make the right choice. And our experienced consultants look closely at your core processes to understand the unique requirements of your business.

Independent

The value of our enterprise software selection services lies in our independence. Our objective, balanced approach will help you find the right solution – one that fits the unique needs of your industry, organization and people.

Insight

Our knowledge of your business, your industry and your goals – and your future state – informs the selection process, and gives us the ability to create customized software requirements, compare best-in-class software vendors, and help you determine the best-fit technology platform that will enable your company to achieve the value defined in your business case.

ERP Selection Process: Step by Step

Twenty-seven years of experience and vendor-independence give us a neutral, fact-based structure we use to support your enterprise technology selection process and objectively validate your decision. And, because we focus exclusively on manufacturing and distribution, we also provide you with exceptional industry expertise, nuanced insight and a deep, experience-based understanding of what’s important (and what isn’t) and what works (and what doesn’t).

Our five-step technology selection process provides critical analysis, evaluation and guidance – and provides structure to ensure that you choose the best solution for your industry, organization and processes.

Our independent, highly experienced consultants guide your selection.

We work with ERP and ERP-connected software solutions, and nothing else. This concentration means our expert consultants, who understand the unique needs of your industry and your business, also know how to help you select a solution that will deliver the most benefit and greatest performance improvement for your organization. What’s more, our consultants understand that time-to-value and return-on-investment are tremendously important to your company, and that your success requires our people, teams, strategies and solutions to be creative, efficient and flexible.

Perhaps most important, we’re independent and unbiased, and our primary focus is on facilitating your successful outcome.
