Find out which ERP systems have the strongest functionality:
We engaged Panorama Consulting to perform a two-stage analysis in a very short period of time. Panorama was asked to review documentation describing our business processes, review the RFP responses for accuracy and truthfulness and use their knowledge and contacts to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation.

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.
