Staying Current

How an ERP Consultancy Keeps Current With the ERP Marketplace

Contact Us

Consultancy keeps up with the ERP industry

It’s easy for a consultant who is tied in a financial way to an ERP vendor, to keep up with the one software package.  They recommend the same one over and over.  But how does an independent ERP consultant keep up?  As a completely independent ERP consultancy, we are contacted frequently by ERP vendors notifying us of upgrades, new capabilities of their software, seminars, demonstrations, etc.  Since we are not affiliated with any ERP vendors or resellers, we are able to conduct negotiations with vendors for the sole benefit of our clients. 

Here are some of the tools and publications we employ for research, as well as professional groups we network with regularly, seminars and webinars recently attended, and ERP software recently evaluated.
