Identify Industry Expertise
When looking for ERP selection consulting services, look for experts who understand your industry in terms of challenges, regulations, and best practices.
Seek Operational Experience
ERP selection consultants should have operational expertise and understand their clients’ needs, rather than being “career consultants.”

Ensure the consultants are well-versed in various ERP vendors and platforms. They should be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each option and advise on its suitability for your size and type of business.
Assess Project Management Skills
This includes planning, coordination, risk management, and ensuring that ERP projects stay on track and within budget. This is essential during both ERP selection and ERP implementation.
Vendor Neutrality Guaranteed
Independent ERP consulting is about taking an unbiased approach to enterprise software selection, focusing solely on the client’s best interests.
Look for Strategic Vision
Consultants should help clients see the big picture. How will the software solution support your long-term business goals?
Choose Expert Witness Experience
ERP selection consultants should have a well-rounded set of skills and a breadth of expertise in ERP, especially in the area of ERP expert witness experience. Our consultants work on both ERP selection projects and software expert witness cases, which gives them a comprehensive understanding of common risk factors and how to prevent ERP project failure.
By focusing on these aspects, you can ensure that you select the ideal ERP team for an effective and seamless ERP selection process. At Panorama, we possess all these key traits and more
