Independent advice on ERP systems
PA's objective, like yours, is to maximize the value of your ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems.
ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft, are becoming more complicated and nowadays include CRM, data warehousing, business intelligence, and much more. Given the complexity of ERP systems, it is hardly surprising that so many organizations report a worrying gap between expected and actual benefits from their ERP implementations.
To close this gap, you need advice from independent ERP experts. Why? Just consider the cost-saving opportunities that often get overlooked. PA can support your implementation using your in-house skills, saving 30-40% more than if we used externally resourced alternatives. PA's fast-path implementation methodologies can also deliver significant benefits, and we find that some organizations can sidestep the need for new systems altogether by upgrading their existing ones.
Why are such appealing ERP strategies so under-utilized? Many consulting firms that are aligned with software houses are tempted to downplay options that reduce your implementation costs. Only a truly independent advisor, such as PA, can be trusted to give them due weight. Unlike competitors, PA does not implement enterprise systems or form exclusive partnerships with ERP suppliers. We do, however, employ consultants with hands-on experience of all the leading ERP systems.
Many consultancies in this market are technology-led. PA knows technology, but our focus is on driving business improvements through a combination of technology and business change.
