We have developed proven methodology for providing a pre go live assessment of organisational readiness for major ERP systems such as JD Edwards One World and SAP. For a phased implementation we can report on key learnings at the conclusion of each initial phase. We believe the success of major system implementation is about the people and change management initiatives as much as the system itself.

We have been successfully supporting a major ERP implementation in Europe involving a NZ$5 billion company.
