However, 55% – 75% of ERP implementation projects fail to achieve their objectives. Why? It all depends on what and who you choose and how the project is managed. As your trusted independent ERP advisors, we help with ERP system selection to achieve the best fit and provide guidance for implementing ERP software so the project runs smoothly.
Affility’s team of independent ERP advisors works with you to ensure the right software is selected to map your processes and successfully transition your business to an improved way of working. Before and during the selection process, we look for enterprise resource planning solutions that can automate processes and give your business a competitive advantage.
Implementing ERP solutions can be tricky, even for the most experienced ERP solution providers. We use tried and tested practices gathered from over 20 years of running successful digital transformation projects to help you set realistic expectations throughout selection and implementation, so your project stays on budget and on time, leading to the business benefits you expect.
There are many reasons to enlist the support of specialist independent ERP Advisors. Perhaps you want to invest in an ERP but don’t know which one to choose. You may already have an ERP in place, but the team is not using it properly.
If you are facing internal resistance, we provide change management services to educate staff and encourage them to embrace new technology. We can also assess whether specific departments require a customized solution and explore options for integrating third-party providers into the current ERP. If a previous implementation has failed, we will pinpoint why and find a solution to ensure your investment isn’t wasted. We always aim to automate your processes into a single solution, rather than having multiple applications.
Based on the responses to the RFI, custom-developed for your business, and the Proof of Concept (POC) Demos conducted, our consultants will shortlist the best-fit ERP solution and the implementation partner. Our ERP partner selection process not only evaluates quantifiable parameters like years of experience, team strength and the number of implementations, but also the qualifying parameters like the partner’s implementation experience in your industry, success rate, client feedback and methodology used for such projects. We advise you on what to agree to and where to spend regarding the ERP contract, ensuring the maximum project-related risks are legally covered.
Our consultants come on board as Project Managers, aligning the key objectives at every stage of the implementation to ensure success. Our consultants’ services can be leveraged for blueprint vetting and scope freezing, user test case preparation, data migration and change management. We act as a bridge between you and ERP solutions providers to ensure alignment with the project objectives at both ends.
We strive to select the ERP software that suits you; we will never force you
to adapt one that doesn’t fit.
