As organizations expand and adapt – through growth, diversification, mergers, or acquisitions – it's common for inefficiencies to arise within their IT infrastructure. Incompatible systems and databases create obstacles, while outdated systems hinder modern, data-driven decision-making. Businesses inevitably outpace their technology, requiring reliable, platform-independent guidance on technology adoption and implementation. BDO can provide this expertise.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software unifies all aspects of a business – from accounting and supply chain to project management, risk management, finance, human resources, and more – into a single, integrated system. Furthermore, it facilitates true data integration, offering complete visibility into business performance and supporting strategic decisions grounded in reliable information.
While ERP selection and implementation are undeniably technology-driven, BDO's ERP consulting approach prioritizes the business case: the enhancement of operational performance and outcomes that an ERP platform can enable. This means we initiate every ERP consulting engagement not with a technology evaluation, but rather with a thorough assessment of your business and competitive goals. This contextual understanding ensures that our ERP platform recommendations are technology-neutral, solely based on their potential to address business challenges through improved performance.
Following the selection of an ERP platform, BDO can collaborate with you or your preferred systems integrator (SI) to design and implement your new ERP solution. In many instances, we are retained as implementation manager, overseeing the SI's work, monitoring progress and milestones, and ensuring a strict adherence to best practices throughout implementation, commissioning, and user onboarding.
