ERP Pre- and Post-Implementation Assessment

An ERP implementation can often be a hefty investment both from a financial and organizational sense. We help you better prepare for this journey by evaluating your readiness from a scoping, planning, and organizational perspective to maximize chances of success.

Key Use Cases

Business Process Automatability Assessment

We partnered with the customer team of an FMCG global leader to evaluate their existing process with one of their largest retailers in North America. Over the course of 4 weeks, we managed to map the existing process and propose an updated business cycle that involves up to 38 automation ideas. These were categorized and prioritized according to readiness, technical complexity, and return on investment. A 4-phase automation delivery roadmap was agreed with the client and handed over to the Intelligent Automation team for technical delivery.

Enterprise Landscape Assessment & System Selection

Working with a regional leading company in the area of Utilities distribution & operation, we performed a full operational discovery and assessment exercise aimed at defining functional requirements to select the appropriate ERP system. This involved developing a multi-phase roadmap that was used to devise scoping discussed with multiple ERP providers and partners. The assessment of ERP platforms/partners activity spanned 3 months and resulted in a final recommendation report that was presented based on multiple criteria including technical fit, commercial comparison, modular scalability, and relevant track record. Based on the final selection, the engagement was handed over to the Project Management team to prepare for project delivery activities.

Organization Performance Metrics Establishment

We worked with a leading Shared Services organization in the Middle East to establish a Performance Management framework and platform that accurately measures and reports service performance levels across the organization and enabling executive visibility and decision-making. This involved the examining of detailed service list and defining the list of metrics & KPIs in line with the company’s organizational needs and global industry standards. This was codified in a detailed KPI catalog with detailed calculation and target setting details which fed into a digital dashboard development project

Large scale system implementations, especially ERPs, go through a major stabilization phase after going live. This often involves a period where operational performance may be disrupted which may affect management’s perspective of the true success rate of the project. Orion’s ERP Assessment services can help identify the root causes of issues facing the company during or after an ERP implantation. We can provide insights into the true status of the project/system and help set action plans for improvement ideas and enhancement initiatives if necessary.
Following the stabilization of systems of record, leadership usually focuses on enhancing its decision making through insights built on these systems. However, most companies’ efforts in these areas are usually sporadic & unorganized and result in isolated efforts with minimum to no impact. Orion can help partner with you to establish an end-to-end business intelligence program that start from defining & codifying your reporting/KPI scope and help create the business drumbeat that will ensure accurate & timely reporting. This program is done in association with our Data Analytics team to deliver an integrated data warehousing architecture and visual dashboard platform.
