Al and his team helped us with our Software Selection and interviewed several ERP Vendors, which was then narrowed down to the top two vendors for us to consider, utilizing their company’s Methodology and Approach. Their process for the Software Selection allowed us to select the best system for our Global Manufacturing company. Al and his team also managed the ERP Project Implementation, collaborating with our team and liaising with the ERP Vendor to make sure our implementation rolled out smoothly!

Al and his team at AIS helped us define our ERP Roadmap, rapidly collected our business needs and identified the ERP solutions we needed to consider. They scheduled scripted demonstrations for our key users across all the departments of our business. Al has the depth of experience coupled with an unbiased perspective needed to help ensure we have the commitment and support from our users. As a result, we believe we have the right system for our requirements. Al then negotiated a better contract for us than we could possibly have negotiated. Now their Project Team will be focused on making sure we’re ready for every phase of the implementation and that our project is on time and on budget!

"Before reaching out to Al and his team, our company used an ERP solution that has never felt like it supports our business well. But rather than altogether abandoning it, we wanted expert advice on whether or not we should reimplement our current solution or migrate to a new platform.

Exhausted at the mere thought of reevaluating our organization's current ERP solution, I decided to interview various ERP consultants and IT solutions providers to get the much-needed assistance we needed with choosing the right technology to help our business scale. During this process, the challenge I came across was that while there are various ERP specialists you can choose to work with, so many of them are partnered directly with the ERP solutions providers we were looking to evaluate.

Worried that our ERP assessment might be driven by some biased opinions towards one solution or another, I sought to find an industry professional who takes a truly agnostic approach to the ERP assessment and selection process. I'm happy to say that Al and his team at Advisory IS Solutions were exactly who I was looking for.

Al and his team worked diligently to walk us through a methodical assessment of our current ERP solution to see how it stacked up against multiple other solutions. After discovering through the process that it was time to migrate from our current platform, Al and his team took on all of the heavy liftings, engaging with vendors and negotiating terms for our new implementation. The beauty of this process is that we've finally found a platform that genuinely supports our company's ability to scale effectively while giving us the tools to support our customers better".

"Advisory IS Solutions were pivotal in our ERP implementation. They completely redefined our scope and helped negotiate this adjustment in our favour. The project was managed thoroughly and effectively, only involving the correct people at the right time without sacrificing quality. The communication is one standout point that is worth highlighting. They were always available and quick to respond when we needed them to get the project done. It is extremely rare that you get this level of quality communication and availability from external services. Most importantly, Advisory Solutions got us a quality ERP set up. I have no doubt in my mind that our ERP would not be as powerful as it is if it weren't for their help".

“Al was hired as our ERP Strategy Consultant to evaluate the Finance, Procurement, and Construction Applications utilized across the organization and to evaluate if we should consider an ERP upgrade or replacement. Al proficiently executed a Methodology that rapidly gathered our business needs, determined the competing applications for our industry, and engaged ERP vendors to respond to a Request for Proposal.  Al was instrumental in managing a process that led to the final recommendation to the selection steering committee to make its final ERP migration decision.”

“Al accelerated our approach to ERP software selection by working closely with our department heads to clearly define our current and future requirements, identifying the top 4 vendors to consider for our industry and size through a formal Request for Proposal process, and narrowing down our selection to the top two vendors for product demonstrations. Once we selected the top vendor Al was quickly able to secure the price we needed to move this project ahead, readying us for ERP System Implementation. Al did an outstanding job and we would hire him back anytime”.
