Our Services and Approach
BDO’s Industry Specialty Services Group (ISSG) is comprised 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, offers clients comprehensive solutions rather than a mere “lift and shift” implementation. BDO can also help carry your IT workload, providing services to supplement your digital transformation, cloud computing, technical support — everything you need to operate efficiently and prioritize your resources."
Insights of the Quarter
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) present unique challenges and opportunities for organizations, particularly when it comes to integrating and migrating enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like Unanet. Our team boasts extensive experience in seamlessly incorporating additional organizations into your Unanet platform, helping your day-to-day business operations remain uninterrupted. The integration of your ERP software during a merger or acquisition is a strategic move that can significantly reduce business complexities and costs. By consolidating systems, you can achieve a unified data management approach, enhancing visibility and compliance while creating ease of reporting and scalability.
Determining the optimal timing and approach for ERP integration is crucial. A well-executed integration strategy involves thorough discovery and meticulous planning, which are essential to align the merged entities' processes and data structures. Having a single ERP system not only simplifies data management but also supports unified reporting, providing a comprehensive view of the organization's performance. This unified approach facilitates better decision-making and helps ensure that compliance requirements are consistently met across the board. By leveraging our extensive knowledge, you can navigate the complexities of M&A with confidence, knowing that your Unanet platform will support your organization's growth and operational efficiency.
Our commitment to excellence helps to create an integration process that is smooth and efficient, allowing your organization to focus on strategic objectives and long-term success.
