Lean & Operational Excellence and Independent ERP Consultants

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects are complex and will involve a project team consisting of internal resources and consultants provided by the ERP vendor. BSM implementation services are designed to supplement the internal project team, where there are insufficient resources to fill all of the roles.

A key role is the Project Manager. BSM's ERP project management methodology has been developed and refined over many implementation projects. It is a proven, repeatable process that is continuously reviewed, and can be adapted to each client's business model. BSM Project Managers have specific ERP implementation experience, in addition to their project management skills. The success of most ERP projects is gauged by traditional on-time, on-budget metrics. BSM's yardstick for success is far more stringent than this. We believe that a project is not fully successful unless the benefits that were defined in the business case are also realised.

Deliverables:

• A detailed project plan to ensure that all tasks are managed.
• A specific focus on benefits realisation.
• Exit criteria for each phase of the project.
• Management of project risks and issues.
• Project communication and change management strategy.
• Clear definition of the working relationship with the software provider.
• Management of the plan using a defined project meeting schedule.

Benefits to the client include:

• The project is delivered on time and within budget.
• Planned project benefits will be realised.
• Accurate and timely reports on progress and cost.
• Optimised performance of your project team.
• All BSM Project Managers have at least 15 years relevant experience.
• We have worked with all of the leading ERP products and implementation partners and can offer unique insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each.
• Proven implementation methodology and experience.
• Strong project management skills.
• Reduced project risk.
