ERP Implementation Control – Cornell Pump Company
At the start of our ERP replacement project we had many years of legacy business processes that were visible and familiar to my team. Not as visible to my team were the better go-forward business processes and new options with modern ERP’s business intelligence, workflows, and configurability capabilities. EAI-SoftSelect first provided education for my team on modern ERP options and the concept of highly connected process execution across our enterprise. Then they helped us design future-state processes with a focus on current business process problems, improvement ideas, and apparently unique process we had. This pre-implementing planning significantly helped us step above the limitations of our current ERP and attachment to existing business processes and tools, and more clearly see better go-forward processes. We also increase our enthusiasm and resolve to achieve these go-forward processes.
ERP Selection Quote – Altairnano, Inc.
Confidence and control in the selection decision and purchase terms were the two best results of utilizing the EAI-SoftSelect process.
ERP Project General Support – Threshold Enterprises
Remote coaching by EAI-SoftSelect was ideal in fulfilling our ERP consulting needs. At critical milestones, timely and expert advice by seasoned ERP consultants provided cost effective support for our projects. We could not have completed the project without their support.
ERP Selection – A & K Railroad
Selecting and purchasing the most appropriate enterprise software is complicated — to say the least. The EAI-SoftSelect team made a large contribution to the quality of the results.
ERP Implementation Control – Provo Craft
It was always obvious to us that our ERP project was about achieving better business process, lower costs, and better serving customers. However it was not obvious how to effectively conduct and lead this business process planning. Engleman Associates, Inc. (EAI) provided valuable assistance in how to conduct and lead this critical business process planning. Key to this assistance were techniques to focus on the approximate 20% of all future-state business processes, process exceptions, and metrics that were somewhat unusual at Provo Craft—as compared to ones more routine. This assistance made a solid contribution to our success.
ERP Selection – Leupold & Stevens
Long term ERP license costs were initially very difficult to calculate. Working with EAI-SoftSelect we were able to insist on a predicable ERP license fee approach and achieve much lower initial and ongoing license fee costs.
ERP Selection – Cornell Pump
Negotiating ERP costs is complicated and the ERP software vendors take advantage of the buyer’s lack of experience. EAI-SoftSelect’s experience and influence helped us level the playing field. We clearly saved money and lowered our long term risk.
ERP Selection – Datron
We took full advantage of the SoftSelect ERP selection process supported with remote coaching from the expert resources of EAI-SoftSelect. When we found ourselves getting bogged-down in the selection variables and uncertainties, the periodic project discussions with a true expert were a positive and timely boost. EAI-SoftSelect is a wise investment in support of the ERP selection and implementation process.
ERP Strategy – ControlTek
ERP change is coming one day at our company, but we were unsure of the right timing, actual risks, and costs for which to prepare. The assistance from EAI-SoftSelect was very helpful—especially to understand what ‘controlled costs’ would be—as well as how to control typical implementation problems. This was a large contribution to containing the serious uncertainties we had about how to proceed.
ERP Strategy – G & L Manufacturing
The relevant factors for deciding if we should keep or replace our current ERP were not clear to us. EAI-SoftSelect helped us determine these factors and helped us establish our current ERP’s merit against the general capability of current market ERP. The education on modern ERP and implementation control were especially helpful and changed how we analyzed our ERP options.
ERP Selection – Provo Craft
EAI-SoftSelect was a great partner throughout the process of choosing an ERP solution. They helped us control the terms throughout the ERP buying process, and we achieved impressive results in reduced ERP license fees.
Having an experienced partner like EAI-SoftSelect, helped us negotiate for the products we need and set our expectations for the process of implementing these solutions.
ERP Implementation Control – Salient Surgical Technologies
We wanted to lead and control our ERP project and not be dependent on an implementer. The EAI-SoftSelect approach to manage the project significantly helped us meet this objective. A key element of this support was the early detection and resolution of insidious project problems–and in turn the avoidance of compounding problems. This greatly lowered my strain.
ERP Selection – Salient Surgical
The sellers of ERP licenses, maintenance, and services sell an expensive and complicated product—and buyers can understandably become confused.
We saw firsthand how the sellers expected this confusion and how they attempted to exploit it.
The control that EAI-SoftSelect put in place was impressive. They knew the sellers tactics and behaviors and pushed through a confident selection and a very healthy purchase arrangement for our company.
…and over 800 more since 1996.
