Enterprise Resource Planning Consulting

As businesses grow and evolve — through expansion, diversification, mergers, or acquisitions — it’s not uncommon to accumulate inefficiencies in their IT environments. Disparate systems and databases are incompatible with one another, and legacy systems don’t support their modern, data-driven decision-making models. Organizations inevitably outgrow their technologies, and they need trusted, platform-agnostic advice on what to adopt and how. BDO can help. 

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software brings every aspect of a business — from accounting to supply chain to project management, risk management, finance, HR, and more — together in a single, integrated platform. Further, it enables true data integration, providing full visibility into business performance and helping power strategic decisions anchored in trusted information. 

While ERP selection and implementation are unquestionably anchored in technology, the BDO approach to ERP consulting centers first on the business case: the improvements in operational performance and outcomes that an ERP platform can empower. This means that we begin every ERP consulting engagement not with a technology assessment, but instead with a detailed evaluation of your business and competitive objectives. This contextual understanding helps to ensure that our ERP platform recommendations are technology-agnostic, based only on their potential for addressing business challenges through improved performance. 

Once an ERP platform is selected, BDO can work with you or your preferred systems integrator (SI) to design and implement your new ERP. In many cases, we are retained as an implementation manager, overseeing the work of the SI, monitoring progress and milestones and ensuring a rigorous focus on best practices from implementation through commissioning and onboarding.
