ERP System Selection for North American Manufacturer

We’re thrilled to share that Advisory IS Solutions (AIS) has signed a new client for an ERP System Selection engagement.

This client is a large manufacturing company with presence in Canada and the USA focused on attaining an integrated solution that aligns with their operations, future requirements, and long-term direction.

Client is Requiring Modern State-of-the-Art Technology

Technology is constantly evolving. ERP vendors are introducing new capabilities, cloud platforms continue to mature, AI and automation are changing how organizations operate, and commercial models and pricing that are continually changing.

Our client is looking for a user-friendly system that can replace their existing ERP solution as well as their third-party applications, enhance business reporting, introduce new functionality, streamline and automate manual processes, reduce duplicate work, and improve overall operational efficiency.

What Our ERP System Selection Covers

AIS follows a structured and independent system selection process designed to help our client identify the right ERP solution for their current and future business needs. As part of this process, we will assess the client’s current systems, third-party applications, and business processes to determine which applications should be retained, replaced, consolidated, or phased out over time.

This initiative will focus on identifying opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual work and duplication of effort, improve reporting and productivity, and maximize the overall return on investment from acquiring a new fully integrated ERP Application. The outcome will provide the client with the best ERP solution and implementation partner to consider that will support the company’s objectives today and into the future.

Our typical System Selection methodology includes five phases:

  • Phase 1: Project Planning
  • Phase 2: Requirements Gathering
  • Phase 3: Technology Assessment
  • Phase 4: ERP System Evaluation
  • Phase 5: Vendor Recommendation & Contract Negotiation

This rapid assessment is planned to take 8 weeks to complete utilizing our tried and tested methodology and approach. This initiative will also give the time necessary for the client to approve the replacement, budget, plan and resources.
