Traits of the Best ERP Selection Consultants
1. Industry Expertise: When looking for ERP selection consulting services, look for experts who understand your industry in terms of challenges, regulations, and best practices.
2. Operational Expertise: ERP selection consultants shouldn’t be “career consultants” but have operational expertise from being in their clients’ shoes.
3. Technical Knowledge: ERP system selection consultants should be well-versed in different ERP vendors and platforms, including their strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for different business sizes and types.
4. Project Management Experience: 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.
5. Vendor Neutrality: Independent ERP consulting is about taking an unbiased approach to enterprise software selection, focusing solely on the client’s best interests.
6. Strategic Vision: Consultants should help clients see the big picture. How will the software solution support your long-term business goals?
7. Expert Witness Experience: ERP selection consultants should be well-rounded and have a breadth of ERP expertise, especially ERP expert witness experience. Our ERP consultants work on ERP selection projects as well as software expert witness cases, giving them a comprehensive understanding of common risk factors and how to avoid ERP project failure.
