YOUR GUIDE TO INDEPENDENT ERP SELECTION™

100% Willing to Refer IT GuidePoint

"It's all about the people you work with. I have worked with David for years on major and minor projects. I keep bringing him back because of the success we have had together. For me, he and IT GuidePoint are more than just a supplier or consulting company. He has been a partner in my success. We have solved very strategic problems and delivered critical projects by working together. Everyone says that they care about my success, but David is genuine and exceptional at caring about his clients."

Global IT Executive

"I have known David more than a decade. He is like a bridge between a client in need of talent and a skilled person in need of a good client/company to work with. To bring two parties with respect to their needs, require a bridge that goes deeper and broader “foundation” on both sides. David acts like bridge, to bring both parties understand each other needs, culture, likes and dislikes with total transparency and time sense. David acting as bridge, seems second nature to him, because David enjoys building relationships to benefit two parties in need. David looks at both sides critical in many dimensions to help set the foundation for a long-term relationship. I am sure, several of IT GuidePoint customers have similar experiences.”

Senior IT Executive

"David has outperformed my expectations and goes the extra mile in delivering results. He always puts the customer first in everything he does, bringing real value to the business by building long term relationships."

Independent Client Reviews on Clutch

Their domain of responsibility is great, and they’re very good at working through issues.

We couldn't have completed this without their expertise in full system integration and user acceptance testing.

I would have started the project with them instead of letting others waste 6 months of our time.

IT GuidePoint gave us a streamlined structure to our process that delivered insights.

They plan and run meetings extremely well.

They've been knowledgeable about the root causes of our problems, such as those in accounting and ERP.

How We Develop an Intelligent ERP Plan (PDP)

PROCESS

We start the process section with meetings to both identify and visually document your most common business processes. Processes like Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, and Record to Report. We continue to work with you until you can visually see your end-to-end business processes with an eye towards efficiency improvement.

“A system cannot be improved or managed by anyone who does not understand the system. A leader must understand all parts and optimize the system as a whole (DEMING)“

DATA

After mapping business processes, we focus on the information that “FEEDS” your business system. This data is commonly referred to as “MASTER DATA”, and it must be accurate to realize the true business benefits(s) of your new ERP system. Lack of accurate master data is consistently listed as a top reason ERP implementations fail.

DATA

PRODUCTIVITY

The final stage of the PDP is called PRODUCTIVITY. This is where we work with you to document the most important reports, dashboards, legacy interfaces, and forms needed for your new ERP system. Forms and interfaces are listed as the top reasons for ERP implementation failures.

FIT

We now have all the information necessary for qualified software vendors to demonstrate how their solution meets your specific business requirements. We facilitate the ERP vendor demonstrations and let them show us how their technology matches your business processes, using your master data and your reports.

FIT

ADOPT

Once the right ERP solution is selected, it is time to adopt that system into your business ecosystem. Your team will leverage the PDP to configure your processes, accurately migrate master data, and create decision making reports and dashboards. Your employees receive customized training on their specific roles and responsibilities to streamline efficiencies and communication.

SUPPORT

Your business ERP system is live, and your team is up and running on their new ERP system. We are there to support any break-fix issues, assist with new configurations as you grow, or simply to answer questions.
