Software Implementation
A smooth implementation with minimal disruption to your business, high levels of adoption and expected benefits realised is the objective.
Independent ERP and digital transformation consulting firms that are software vendor agnostic are by far the best choice to serve as a trusted advisor throughout your implementation.
Like any team-based activity, there needs to be an experienced and effective lead function. This is no different for an ERP implementation project or digital transformation.
The implementation of enterprise solutions is a highly specialised area and anyone that does not do this day in and day out will put the project at risk. Furthermore, having all your eggs in one basket by using an internal resource or an external individual contractor, without the backing of an organisation with the breadth of resources and experience to provide support when required, decreases the chances of a successful outcome significantly.
SMC also has a proven methodology to manage ERP implementation projects. It includes activities, deliverables, lessons learned, tools and accelerators that constitute good practices based on hundreds of successful implementations and our expert resources. It is business focussed, technology agnostic and therefore integrates with any Implementation Partner methodology. It focuses on the shared client/SMC responsibilities and deliverables.
SMC is uniquely placed to support your ERP implementation or digital transformation journey by providing the right mix of experienced and qualified professionals to help you at the right times. Our team has worked together many times before and operates in an integrated way for your benefit and includes:
- Independent Project QA and Risk Management– This is a small price to pay for a very effective insurance policy to hedge against failure, cost overruns, frustration and lost ROI
