ERP Product Selection
Having substantial experience of a wide variety of software products from both a customer and supplier perspective we can help guide you to making the right decisions for your organisation by supporting your ERP product selection process.
Our consultants have all come from the ‘real world’ having been business managers before moving to the dark side of consultancy most have been through their own ERP product selection process before and not all were Dynamics 365.
Obviously we have Microsoft D365 specialisations within our organisation but having decades long history of delivering ERP we have accumulated expertise beneficial to businesses that lets face it – do not specialise in reviewing ERP solutions.
Advisory services are a significant part of our business, whereas your expertise may be manufacturing or distribution ours is ERP, so doesn’t it make sense to seek the services of professionals especially since this is in effect a heart transplant for your business?
Practice Does Make Perfect
Upgrading your ERP business system is not an everyday occurrence, so unsurprisingly many organisations have limited experience in the preparation and effort involved in changing what is central to your business operations. Similar to any major operation there’s sense in having someone present who has done this before, not many would opt for a novice with something so business critical.
Our consultants have overseen the selection of business software before becoming consultants themselves, many several times over. AX Software have a small dedicated bi-partisan team who specialise in a selection and support role, it could be any software product or helping make that choice between Microsoft Partners or best fit Dynamics product. They will also ensure that you are fully prepared, going into a pre-sales environment without thorough preparation is a recipe not necessary for disaster but certainly disappointment and likely unnecessary expense.
We will even help you with that all important contract ensuring that your business interests are best protected in what is a very complicated decision making process that most companies only encounter once in a decade.
Its always easier to start off in the right direction rather than try correct a poorly initiated project further down the line and here is where we at AX Software can help.
We can confidently state that at every stage from the requirements gathering to shortlist and software selection right through to the implementation and deployment we have something to offer businesses and organisations be they SME’s or large multi-nationals – all whilst speaking in plain language and been straight to the point and true to our values.
ERP product selection is a complex undertaking, there are a lot of factors to consider and you should not be overly influenced by a slick and personable sales team, often once signed up that’s the last you may see of them.
Obviously product fit should be high up on the list that’s assuming your list is comprehensive but so are other intangibles. Over the years there has been a huge consolidation in the SME mid-range software market with many independent and very capable software products been acquired to grow the customer base for investment managers or other consultancies wanting to demonstrate growth via acquisition. Product and supplier longevity are therefore important considerations too, there are a lot fewer Dynamics resellers these days as their 5 year plans come to fruition and they sell up to larger partners and this can be a shock to the system when rates escalate accordingly.
AXSoftware have been here since 2006, with in-depth ERP knowledge we can offer business our support from the very start getting everything as right as it can be – we know this works which is why we are still around. Call or email us for further information
