Our company is primarily engaged in consulting in the selection and subsequent implementation of ERP systems. This activity can be briefly described in the following points:
Task: Assistance in the selection and implementation of an ERP system
Goal: Minimizing risks during the selection and implementation of an ERP system, particularly with regard to maintaining the required quality, price, and delivery deadline.
AppliCon IT acts as an independent ERP consultant on the client’s side. We do not represent any specific system or vendor. We help prepare the ERP selection process, compare proposed solutions, set contractual terms, and subsequently monitor the implementation progress.
We can join the project throughout its entire duration or only during a specific phase, depending on the company’s needs and the capacity of its internal team.
Together with the client, we define the project goals, the scope of the future solution, and the basic requirements for the ERP system. We prepare the documentation to approach a suitable range of vendors and evaluate their ability to cover the company’s needs.
We compare the proposals of selected vendors based on uniform criteria. We verify the functional coverage of requirements, the suitability of the offered solution, the vendor’s experience, estimated costs, and the risks of future implementation.
We help prepare and assess the contractual framework for future cooperation. We focus primarily on the scope of delivery, the responsibilities of individual parties, price, schedule, acceptance criteria, and change management procedures.
After the system is selected, we provide professional support during its implementation. We help set up the project plan, manage risks and changes, monitor the outputs of individual stages, and verify the fulfillment of agreed goals.
Depending on the client’s needs, we also get involved in optimizing key processes and defining requirements for functionality, data, and system support.
The service is primarily intended for medium and large companies that:
A significant part of our experience consists of ERP projects in manufacturing, trading, and distribution companies.
Consultancy can include the preparation of requirements, longlist and shortlist vendor selection, comparison of proposals, verification of proposed solutions, support during contract negotiations, and professional assistance during subsequent implementation. The specific scope of cooperation is determined based on the client’s needs and the current phase of the project.
The greatest opportunity to influence the outcome arises before the selection begins, when the goals, scope, and requirements of the project are established. A consultant can also be involved in evaluating proposals, before signing the contract, at the start of implementation, or in an already ongoing project.
AppliCon IT represents the client’s professional interests. We help prepare decisions, define requirements, compare proposals, and monitor the progress and outputs of the project. We do not represent any specific ERP system or its vendor.
Before starting the selection, it is first possible to assess whether a system change is truly necessary. A suitable solution may also be better utilization of the current ERP, its expansion, process optimization, or re-implementation.
The selection usually includes setting goals, preparing requirements specifications, longlist and shortlist vendor selection, comparison of proposals, verification of offered solutions, and contract negotiations. The specific procedure and scope of individual stages are based on the size of the company, the nature of its processes, and the complexity of the planned project.
The final decision remains with the client. We prepare independent documentation, compare options, and highlight their benefits, costs, and risks so that management can decide based on comparable information.
During implementation, we provide professional support on the client’s side. We help manage project risks and changes, monitor the progress and outputs of individual stages, and verify the delivery’s compliance with the agreed scope, quality, price, and deadline.
The implementation vendor is responsible for the delivery and configuration of the system. AppliCon IT supports the client in project management, formulation of requirements, preparation of decisions, and monitoring the delivery’s compliance with the agreed terms.
Yes. Cooperation can cover the entire process from selection preparation to implementation oversight, or only a specific area, such as requirements, proposal evaluation, contractual support, risk management, or independent supervision of an ongoing project.
We will introduce you to the basic principles by which we prepare the tender process, compare offered solutions, and monitor the subsequent implementation. At the same time, we will jointly assess your company’s initial situation and the appropriate scope of professional support.
