Preparing For A Successful ERP Software Selection Methodology and Project Launch

ERP implementations typically see plenty of risk without the proper checks and balance. Our mitigation to this risk is through our ERP Software Evaluation Guide and the various steps needed for conducting an ERP evaluation using best practices. Again, if the evaluation process is not comprehensive, the ERP system selection may not only be wrong but the evaluation process itself may not have the support within the organization to succeed. Implementing ERP systems requires a careful approach to align the existing ERP capabilities with the latest ERP advancements to optimize the success of your ERP implementation.

The fact at hand is that no evaluation– no matter how well-planned and executed – is without risk, which is why it is important to have a formal ERP Software Readiness Assessment in place to mitigate those risks.

The Avantiico ERP Software Readiness Package will offer your organization the proper tools and steps forward in conducting an evaluation process that will find the best solution that fits you regardless of the industry you fall into.

Avantiico not only will guide you through the evaluation process and provide an ERP Coach but also will make you aware of incentives by aligning with many non-profit and government-backed organizations (such as CMTC) which can provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to credit towards your implementation of the right ERP software—investing money to implement a system that will soon become an integral part of your operational framework.
