      How we can help

      ERP Transformation

      Your ERP migration is more than just a routine task; it’s an opportunity to reinvent your business. We help you reimagine this essential migration as an end-to-end ERP-enabled business transformation vs. a mere tech upgrade.

      • Our Team

      Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems do more than support day-to-day operations—they are the backbone of digital strategy. Increasingly, they also help you take full advantage of your data and AI capabilities, and they’re integral for AI at scale. Yet, despite their critical role, 90% of ERP transformations fall short of their goals, often due to an overemphasis on technical outputs rather than business outcomes.

      Many ERP systems are approaching end of life. Modernization is unavoidable, but strategic planning offers a leg up. As companies undergo migrations—including transitioning from SAP’s ECC6 system to S/4HANA—our ERP consulting experts help deliver end-to-end, ERP-enabled transformations that produce, on average, 20% more value at 20% lower cost.

      What sets us apart? A holistic approach that goes beyond systems integration. We start with our X-Ray Diagnostic, which helps us assess and benchmark the state of your ERP program, identify pain points and risks, and pinpoint next steps. Then, we layer technology with business transformation and integration expertise, ensuring not just a more standardized, flexible, and scalable core but also strategic shifts, strong governance, the resolution of legacy challenges, and a focus on change management. We work collaboratively with systems integrators to put business needs at the center of the program and keep the program scope focused on the future state rather than re-creating the current state.

      This level of rigor is particularly important in merger integrations, where about 50% of deal synergies come from the technology function—the home of the ERP system. Our approach helps businesses unlock synergies while accelerating digital transformation, modernizing the tech foundation, and standardizing processes.

      Strengthening your technical infrastructure is just the starting point. We go further—bridging tech expertise with business sponsorship to drive more meaningful, sustainable, and high-impact results.

      We help clients address a variety of ERP system needs, including:
      • ERP strategy and vendor selection: Determine how to align your ERP system with your strategic goals
      • End-to-end ERP transformation: Migrate or implement a new ERP system
      • ERP program reset: Reboot your stalled or under-performing ERP migration or implementation
      • ERP consolidation: Unite ERP systems (common in mergers and acquisitions)
      • ERP separation: Separate ERP systems (common in carveouts)
