Independent ERP Review & Second Opinion

INDEPENDENT ERP ADVISORY

Important ERP decisions deserve independent judgment.

ERP replacement, platform selection, major customization and architecture changes can affect operations for years. Leaders may lack the in-house expertise to scrutinize vendor proposals. We assess rationale, risk and business fit independently.

A sound solution should withstand informed scrutiny.

Is full replacement necessary? Is the platform suitable? Is customization justified? Are cost and timeline credible? Will architecture create dependencies? Our goal is not to find faults at any cost, but to improve decisions.

When This Service Is Relevant

You are selecting an ERP platform

Independent assessment of fit and constraints is needed.

A partner has proposed major customization or architecture

Complexity, standard functionality and alternatives need scrutiny.

You have received a substantial estimate

Scope assumptions and delivery risks need examination.

A critical architectural decision is approaching

For example, integrations, accounting or migration.

Leadership wants a second opinion

Scrutiny can be useful without conflict or distrust.

What We Can Review

Business fit and scalability.

02 / Functional Architecture

Coherence of processes, data, accounting and integrations.

03 / Customization Decisions

Whether standard configuration or process change could suffice.

04 / Estimates and Scope

Assumptions, gaps, dependencies and delivery realism.

05 / Migration and Go-Live

Data, testing, readiness, cutover and stabilization.

06 / A Specific Critical Decision

A narrow functional, technical or organizational issue. Only agreed areas are reviewed.

What You Receive

Business-purpose evaluation.

Material risks and limitations.

Key assumptions and dependencies.

Practical alternatives.

Recommendations to accept, adjust or reconsider.

Questions requiring additional evidence.

Independent Without Being Adversarial

We do not seek to replace an integrator. We support sound proposals and explain weaknesses where justified, including through direct discussion with the incumbent if the client wishes.

Scope and Limitations

A focused review is not automatically a full audit. Conclusions reflect agreed evidence and assumptions. We distinguish facts, judgment and matters requiring further inquiry. Implementation responsibility remains with contracted suppliers.

How Engagements Are Structured

We define the decision and evidence, assess it, and present findings.

Indicative Fee

Starting from €2,000 for a clearly defined question. Large reviews are quoted individually. A short Expert Advisory Session may suit an initial conversation.
