Home » ERP Life Cycle Management » ERP System Evaluation & Selection

Choosing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can be a daunting task for many organisations. How do you ensure that you evaluate and select the most appropriate system from the vast range available on the market?

BSM's world-class selection methodology and vast experience enable us to assist clients in selecting the most suitable ERP system for an organisation. We have led projects that have resulted in the selection of systems such as SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, Movex, IFS, Microsoft Navision, Great Plains, Dynamics and Axapta, Tropos, iRenaissance, Sage and Epicor Vantage, among others. Because BSM is independent, impartial advice can be offered at all stages of the process.

Deliverables:

  • A structured selection process, with well-defined stages, decision points and a detailed project plan.
  • Facilitation of project team workshops at all critical points in the decision process, ensuring cross-functional involvement and agreement.
  • Selection of a preferred ERP system and vendor (typically within 3-4 months of project initiation).
  • Objective, documented reasons for the rejection of all other systems.
  • PowerPoint presentation summarising the selection process, which can be used for Senior Management or Board level presentations.
  • Assistance with commercial negotiations.
