ERP implementation

An ERP implementation is a business change that happens to need software. We handle the software and data work, and provide the structure to keep the business side on track.

What organizations bring us

ERP programs overrun for known reasons. Requirements are written after the system is selected. Master data is dirty. The first complete test of a business process happens in user acceptance testing. Integrations are underestimated. Training is a week before go-live.

We plan around those. Fit-gap analysis comes before configuration. Data migration begins in the first month. Process owners attend design sessions. Integration and testing have their own workstreams, with entry and exit criteria.

What the platform covers

  • SAP S/4HANA

    Greenfield, system conversion or selective data transition. Finance, supply chain, Fiori, BTP and Basis.

  • Oracle Fusion Cloud

    Financials, Procurement, SCM and HCM, with FBDI and HDL data loads.

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365

    Finance, Supply Chain Management and Business Central.

  • Workday

    HCM, Payroll and Financial Management.

  • Data migration

    Cleansing, mapping, loading and reconciliation in rehearsal cycles.

  • Integration

    Banks, tax, CRM, payroll, logistics and analytics connected to the ERP.

Questions people ask

How long does an ERP implementation take?

It depends on scope, entities, integrations and data quality. We give a range after discovery and tell you what could shift it.

Can you implement only a part?

Yes. Many engagements cover one module, one country or one phase of a larger program.

Do you provide fixed price?

Where scope is defined enough. Otherwise time and materials with a cap or a phased fixed price. See engagement models.
