ERP Strategy is the blueprint that defines why, when, and how your organisation should invest in enterprise technology. Rather than jumping straight into selection or implementation, ERP Strategy focuses on business value, operating model alignment, process maturity, change readiness, and long-term scalability.

It clarifies the strategic role of ERP in the business, ensuring every decision — scope, timing, investment, partners, architecture — is tied to measurable outcomes and ROI.

This service is for organisations that:

• Are considering a new ERP but don’t want to rush into selection without clarity
• Have an existing ERP that is underperforming or no longer aligned to business needs
• Want an independent, vendor-neutral perspective
• Need a board-ready business case that clearly shows costs, risks, benefits and a value-realisation plan
• Are experiencing project fatigue, failed implementations, or constant rework
• Want to ensure their next ERP move is strategic — not reactive

We partner with your executive, finance, operations and IT teams to build a practical, business-driven ERP roadmap. Typical activities include:

• Current State Review – processes, pain points, technology landscape, data, reporting, integration
• Future State Definition – target operating model, capability gaps, automation opportunities
• ERP Options Analysis – whether to uplift, replace, re-implement, or stabilise current systems
• Roadmap & Phasing – timelines, sequencing, change impacts, project structure
• Cost & Investment Modelling – total cost of ownership, implementation cost estimates, ROI
• Risk Assessment – change readiness, delivery risks, governance and decision frameworks
• Board-Level Business Case – designed for funding approval and executive alignment

Our approach is conversational, business-first, and grounded in 20+ years of ERP experience.

At the end of the engagement, you get:

• Complete clarity on the ERP direction that best supports your business goals
• A realistic roadmap that balances ambition with organisational readiness
• Independent guidance not influenced by vendors, implementers, or software sales cycles
• A business case that senior leadership can confidently approve
• Reduced risk of failure, delays or uncontrolled scope
• A clear transformation narrative that aligns your whole organisation

Most importantly, you walk away with the confidence that your ERP decisions are strategic, informed, and set up for success — not guesswork.
