Our Services and Approach
BDO’s Industry Specialty Services Group (ISSG) is composed of diverse consulting teams supporting unique business functions in multiple industry verticals. Some of these industries include government contracting, healthcare, life sciences, nonprofit, education, and community resilience.
BDO’s implementation methodology and strategy stand out due to our deliberate employment of consultants with a diverse skill set, encompassing accounting, systems, tooling, and compliance in heavily regulated industries. What truly differentiates BDO is our ability to leverage our extensive in-house team, covering a wide range of subjects from compliance to tax. Our collaborative approach, spearheaded by our ERP professionals, provides a comprehensive solution delivery rather than a mere “lift and shift” implementation.
Insights of the Quarter
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, having a future-proof, effective ERP system is crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage. Regular, independent evaluations from a third-party allows for objective analysis of configuration settings and business processes. BDO offers Unanet Diagnostics services to facilitate system efficiencies and enhancements. By leveraging our implementer experience and knowledge , our diagnostic offerings can impact operational efficiency as well as system maintenance.
Our diagnostic offerings are distinguished by review scope. A configuration review is a macro-level analysis of system configuration according to best practices. In contrast, a health check is a more expansive best practice review of the system, driven by company stakeholder interviews to determine that the system is tailored to satisfy business needs.
Our team has deep understanding in this area and is ready to help you tailor your system configuration to your needs. For any questions or additional information about the Unanet Diagnostics in Unanet, please contact Stephanie Lianos.
