Expertise
Holistic advisory for ERP transformations.
Whether statutory reporting, procurement and sales, or production and value-creation processes: an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system forms the backbone of an organization. Once im-plemented, an ERP system typically remains in use for more than ten years – often even for 20 years or longer. When companies decide to introduce a new system, they face a rapidly changing market land-scape: traditional on-premise solutions are losing relevance, while cloud-based ERP providers with industry- and value-chain-specific solutions are gaining momentum. Many organizations struggle to maintain an overview. We provide that clarity. We help you select the ERP solution that best fits your organization – in terms of functionality, operating and licensing model, user experience, and industry-specific re-quirements.
At some point, every organization reaches the moment when its existing ERP system must be reassessed. The reasons are manifold:
Our conviction is clear: an ERP transformation is first and foremost a business-driven initiative, not a purely IT-driven project, even though close alignment with IT is essential.
The focus therefore lies on clearly defined, complete, and technically viable business requirements that can be translated into effective ERP processes. We bring deep process expertise and a thorough understanding of the specifics of leading ERP solutions. Whether system introduction, optimization, or extension of your existing ERP landscape – we support you throughout the journey.
Selecting a new ERP system is a strategic decision with long-term implications. It should therefore be based on a sound methodology and a clear focus on sustainable impact.
We support you with a holistic approach, from strategic alignment and process harmonization to system integration. Our objective is a clear ERP strategy that defines global guiding principles while accommodating local requirements. We know the relevant ERP vendors and their functional characteristics and advise you independently.
Our standardized and transparent selection process identifies the ERP solution that best fits your organization:
The ERP strategy is closely aligned with your business logic and forms the foundation for system selection. It defines objectives, guiding principles, selection criteria, integration requirements, and a target IT architecture.
We systematically derive optimization potentials and business requirements and translate them into a structured requirements catalog. Based on defined knock-out criteria, we create a shortlist of relevant ERP vendors. These are then evaluated in detail against your requirements, including an analysis of one-time and recurring costs. Vendor-specific showcases may also be included.
We consolidate all results of the selection process into a management-ready decision proposal – transparent, well-founded, and traceable.
