You've decided that a new or upgraded ERP system is the possible solution for your business. That might be because you've outgrown your current systems, your team is spending far too long on low value activity or you understand that an enterprise system is required to future proof your business.
During this phase, it is essential that you audit your current processes and capabilities, and benchmark them against a target state to try to find the ideal ERP system to match your requirements. This stage can either be led internally providing you have the expertise, or in most instances the system selection process is guided by an experienced third party.
At VantagePoint, we are a technology-first consultancy uniquely positioned to advise high growth businesses to assess the overcrowded technology market with a view to matching your business ambitions with systems and processes to fuel that growth.
We do this by:
• Understanding the ways in which you work and your growth ambitions
• Understanding the systems requirements that are critical to meeting your long-term goals
• Building the internal support and business case for change
• Leveraging our experience to recommend a shortlist of reliable ERP systems that will meet your needs
• Leading the formal request for proposal and ERP tender process from the requirements outline to the evaluation criterion
• Making a formal ERP recommendation based on your unique business needs and goals
• Negotiating with vendors and partners for the best possible value on your behalf.
The success of any new system implementation relies on the quality and methodology of the implementation just as much as the system itself. The implementation process includes steps such as requirements gathering, process mapping, migration of data, testing, training, deployment and support.
It is essential that a structured implementation plan that is tailored to your direct business need is carried out from end to end. VantagePoint phases ERP implementations based upon your unique requirements to optimise speed-to-delivery, cost-to-value and user adoption.
• Highlight and mitigate risks that can derail projects, extend timelines or cause total costs to rise
• Leverage our expertise gained from over 200+ technology implementations to accelerate speed to delivery and navigate common pitfalls
• Employ a phased delivery approach, tailored to your specific business needs
• Offer support with overall systems architecture and the seamless flow of data
