Independent ERP advisory
An outside read on your ERP decision, with nothing to sell but the advice.
ERP Strategy Partners is an independent advisory practice built around three decisions: choosing a system, checking a program that is already underway, and keeping an outside eye on a systems integrator through delivery. We take no referral fees from any vendor or SI, so the shortlist, the health read, and the governance advice all point the same direction: yours.
What we do
Three engagements, built around the decision in front of you rather than a standard statement of work.
Insights
Point-of-view research on ERP selection, program risk, and AI in delivery, written for the people deciding whether to bring in outside help and how to use it.
- When does an ERP program need an outside review?Free Gartner puts the share of recently implemented ERP initiatives that will fail to fully meet their original business case goals by 2027 at more than 70%. Seven signs tend to show up before a status report admits there is a problem, and they are checkable in a week.
- What independent SI oversight actually checks Systems integrator fees run 40 to 60% of total implementation cost, the largest single line in most ERP programs, and the one with the least independent scrutiny once the contract is signed.
- What decides an ERP program's five-year cost A five-year ERP program typically costs 3 to 5 times first-year software, and most of where a program lands in that range is decided during selection, before a single line of the build starts.
