ERP and CRM Implementation
WeāÆplan and implement upgraded and revitalized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems andāÆCustomer Relationship Management (CRM) systemsāÆto integrate enterprise processes and customer-facing activities.⯠The upgraded or migrated systems enable quick response to the changing business environment and deliver support for new business capabilities and improved value streams
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) implementations and upgrades are one of the most significant challenges to the operations of agile companies of every size, market, and location.Ā Ā
Modern ERP and CRM systemsĀ offer irresistible applicability and theĀ capability to integrate with many other enterprise systems and business processes.Ā This power makes themĀ theĀ lifebloodĀ of the enterprise and the core of operations.Ā From sales and marketing to supply chain and manufacturing, ERP and CRM systems power the modern enterprise.Ā
These factsĀ demonstrate whyĀ it is essentialĀ to selectĀ a team with experience, discipline, and professionalism to plan and manageĀ ERP and CRM systemĀ implementations, migrations, and upgrades.Ā
Outages, loss of data quality, and degraded performance often result from problematic ERP and CRM implementations.Ā Ā Trouble looms whenĀ schedules are underestimated, the amount of work required is not appreciated, or when aĀ shortcutĀ bypasses aĀ methodical and time-tested approach.Ā
Teams that start with aĀ realistic schedule and resource planĀ andĀ use aĀ successful templateĀ that featuresĀ planned milestones and deliverablesĀ are far more likely to deliver a migration that meets expectationsĀ with an implementation thatĀ deftlyĀ supports business operations across the enterprise.Ā Ā Ā
How We Help Clients
Implementation Planning
We perform a gap analysis to identify any missing requirements compared to the desired end state. Next, we build a comprehensive project plan based on our proven templates, including detailed staffing and risk analysis. A key deliverable is a customized dashboard that presents project steps and milestones in an easy-to-understand visual format.
We also catalog and model the data sources, mapping out the ETL (extract, transform, load) needed to acquire data securely and perform any complex transformations required to provide the needed data elements. Finally, we plan the secure data acquisition architecture and workflow for the required ETL on that data.
Assessment and Requirements Design
When beginning a crm implementation project, we lead a thorough assessment to characterize the as-is ERP or CRM system and understand the desired future system and intended use cases. This detailed evaluation covers specifics of the system, system data, business processes and workflows, queries and reports, interfaces, and use cases. We also explore security, supporting infrastructure, and any specific shortcomings of the current system.
Then we work closely with our client’s business team and stakeholders to develop comprehensive requirements for the CRM upgrade, migration or new crm and erp integration implementation. The requirements gathering process is crucial to ensure we fully understand the client’s needs for the new CRM system and integration with existing ERP systems.
Please let me know if you would like me to modify this rewrite in any way. I aimed to naturally incorporate the requested keywords on CRM implementation and CRM/ERP integration.
Implementation
We develop any needed custom code, migrate existing customizations, install and test third-party software components, and build integrations between the new CRM and legacy ERP systems.
Throughout the implementation, we continually engage end-users to validate that the solution meets their needs and fulfills the original requirements. This user-centered approach ensures the final CRM implementation delivers the functionality, integrations and user experience required for an impactful business solution.
Data Migration
For CRM implementations, we pay special attention to properly migrating customer data from any legacy CRM or sales systems to avoid losing relationship history and insights.
When migrating to a new ERP, we ensure all inventory, supply chain, manufacturing, and financial data is moved to the new system accurately and without loss. A complexity is mapping data from the single source of truth systems of record into the new integrated ERP and CRM solution.
Our data migration experience enables us to work through these complex transformations smoothly, validating the data along the way. The result is a successful data migration that positions our clients for an impactful ERP or CRM go-live.
Program Management
We establish a project management officeĀ PMOĀ to coordinate and manage the implementation, upgrade, or migration project.Ā We work to ensure alignment with corporate processesĀ andĀ standards andĀ endeavorĀ to identify and overcome anyĀ remainingĀ gaps to ensure success.Ā We staff the PMO with a veteran project manager andĀ experiencedĀ team and provide an implementation or migration template.Ā We adapt the templateĀ forĀ ourĀ client’sĀ specific implementation.Ā
What We Do
Global ERP and CRM Systems Consolidation
The crm and erp integration implementation focuses on migrating legacy data into the new consolidated platform. Testing and training at each site ensures user adoption. Our methodology smoothly consolidates disparate crm and erp into a unified global solution tailored to the organization’s needs.
Implementation of a New ERP or CRM System
We leverage proven methods to transform and integrate data between CRM and ERP. Extensive user acceptance testing validates the integrated solution meets requirements before go-live. Our comprehensive methodology delivers successful CRM implementation and integration with ERP systems.
