Assessment
A comprehensive analysis of core business processes and the current systems is necessary. It is important to identify specific areas where inefficiencies exist that an ERP solution could effectively address. Additionally, gathering and compiling important data regarding the existing software and its various integrations will provide valuable insights.
When selecting an Enterprise Resource Planning system, we need to establish criteria that align with your business goals. This process involves evaluating various vendors while comparing their essential features and prices.

What We Need from You
Access to key business units
Available data
Key Objectives
Management check-ins
Firstly, to ensure meeting the business objectives, your company must be committed and involved. We need access to key business units and employees so that they can help identify the pain points and optimization needs in your current processes. An ERP system impacts different areas of the business and all impacted units should be consulted in the readiness assessment to minimize project risk and maximize adoption rate.
Next, to assess if your business is ready to adopt an ERP implementation we need to understand what data is available. Business processes should be accurately modeled and documented to be used for gathering requirements on ERP needs. Data from current IT systems enables us to take more data-driven decisions. All data that is provided remains confidential and is only used within the scope of this work package.
Furthermore, to be able to fully understand the business processes, we also need to have a clear view of the goals of the organization. An ERP system should fundamentally support the business objectives to provide any value.
Most importantly, the goal of this analysis is to ensure the company is ready for implementing an ERP system. These projects can involve a really high investment financially and from stakeholders within the company. It is rarely without big risks on the organization. As such, we expect involvement from management. At a minimum, this could be a check-in at the start and end of the assignment, but more regular check-ins are preferred.
