Hi everyone,
I’m exploring how businesses approach ERP implementation when they need to move beyond basic accounting or individual business applications and start managing more processes through one system.
For those who have been involved in an ERP implementation, what factors did you consider when selecting an implementation partner?
Some of the areas I’m particularly interested in are:
-
Understanding existing business processes
-
ERP requirements gathering
-
Data migration and data cleanup
-
Integration with existing applications
-
System configuration and customization
-
Testing before going live
-
Employee training and user adoption
-
Post-implementation support
-
Scalability as the business grows
I’m especially curious about how businesses decide whether an implementation partner is a good fit. Is industry experience more important, or do you place greater importance on technical expertise and previous implementation experience?
I was also reading about different factors businesses should evaluate when selecting ERP Implementation Partners, and found this overview useful:

For those with experience implementing or customizing ERP systems, what would you say are the most important things to evaluate before starting an implementation project?
