OUR METHOD
Our Methodology For ERP Strategy And Selection
The process starts with an assessment that helps build the as-is and to-be process models, along with the enterprise architecture. Followed by building a requirement matrix and the solution matrix to compare over 200 solutions. And then, finally, vendor demonstrations and negotiations.
Step 1: Assessment
This phase starts with the as-is and to-be analysis of the business model, business vision, and current & future processes. It also analyzes current systems and architecture, as well as changes to the processes, master data, and system landscape.
Step 2: Requirements Matrix And Critical Success Factors
This phase captures the requirements in the as-is and to-be systems for each system in the architecture. It also identifies the critical success factors that will drive the RFP and vendor demonstrations.
Step 3: Solution Matrix Development
This phase evaluates over 200 ERP systems against critical success factors and builds an initial list for the next phase. The solution matrix is continuously revised while aligning the expectations of all stakeholders as the process advances.
Step 4: RFP And Demo Scripts Development
This phase builds a comprehensive RFP that will be sent out to the initial vendors. This phase also builds the demo script that will set the expectations for each of the demos.
Step 5: Vendor Demonstrations
This phase would be a series of demos to evaluate the capabilities of a solution and align stakeholders in how their life would be with the new ERP. After each demo, the stakeholders are briefed on the potential pros and cons of each solution.
Step 6: Contract Negotiations
This phase would be the contract negotiation of the software and services agreement. This phase might require several different matrix, such as user-solution mapping, interface license mapping, transaction license mapping, etc.
