ERP Selection

INSIGHT

Using a proprietary, multi-step ERP selection process, Panorama Consulting Group helps each client find the ERP software that best fits their budget, time-frame, industry, technological infrastructure and operational needs.

• Because Panorama is independent and technologically agnostic, we don’t push one software package or vendor over another to benefit our own bottom line.
• Through negotiations with vendors, we are able to save clients an average of three to five times the cost of our fees.
• We leverage a number of proprietary and proven tools designed to help you minimize time, cost, and risk.
• Panorama consultants have both selection and implementation expertise in over 100 different ERP systems from Tier One, Tier Two, software as a service (SaaS) and open source providers.
• Panorama guarantees all of our work and operates on a fixed pricing system. Our efforts will not stop until your company has chosen the ideal ERP software.
• We also offer ERP implementation, benefits realization and organizational change management services.

PERFECT Fit® ERP Selection Process

Our PERFECT Fit® software selection methodology analyzes data regarding each client’s unique business and technical requirements against viable ERP software solutions to help companies understand all of the options as well as the associated costs, risks and benefits of each choice.   This is done through a comprehensive evaluation based on seven primary areas:

• Process Review
• Environment
• Requirements
• Financial Analysis
• Evaluation of Alternatives
• Change Readiness
• Tracking Benefits

After the initial analysis is complete, we harness the resources of our proprietary ERP solutions database, quantitative analysis model, 30-point technology assessment, organizational and readiness assessment, and benefits realization plan to find the ideal ERP system for each client. This approach helps companies best plan and prepare for a new ERP system, forces competing software vendors to address specific business needs, and identifies the total cost of ownership of ERP packages. With PERFECT Fit®, there are no surprises.
