ERP System Selection

ERP System Selection

Flexible solutions to meet your technical and budgetary requirements

Finance and operations are central to all organisations, but the process of selecting the right solution for your business can be a painful exercise. IT Lab take a flexible approach to ERP system selection to help you navigate through the variety of options and ensure that your shortlist represents the best solutions that meet your technical and budgetary requirements.

Embracing the Agile Methodology

Fixed IT strategies are no longer a viable approach in the ever-changing IT environment. IT Lab, therefore, recommends developing IT guiding principles to ensure agile decision making. Whilst our experienced consultants will tailor our approach based on your business, our system selection approach follows the following framework.

We begin with a Needs Assessment, to discover user needs, general functionality requirements and opportunities to drive efficiency through technology. This stage involves:

• User interviews
• Requirement discussion with senior team
• Online user survey

The second step is a thorough Technical Audit, resulting in a document including high-level technical recommendations to inform your IT roadmap. The areas we audit include:

• Connectivity
• Infrastructure
• End user computing

Next, our Operating Model Review creates a roadmap outlining how and when you should implement technical, process and governance recommendations. We will review your:

• Growth plans
• Support request levels
• Current suppliers
• Staff and team structure
• Current IT governance

We finish with your ERP System Requirements, documenting business and user needs, as well as solution requirements to inform tender development and solution selection. This involves:

• Requirements discussion with senior team
• User interviews
• Documentation
