Methodology

Every successful ERP implementation begins with a well-structured process. At Clients First, we break this journey into major phases. First there is discovery of your unique processes and their requirements, then there is solution identification. Our team leverages deep industry expertise to guide businesses in selecting the right ERP system that aligns with their operational needs. See below for more details.

Once the right solution is identified, we seamlessly transition into the next phase – implementation. The Clients First team ensures that the ERP system is incorporated into your business efficiently, minimizing disruptions and keeping business operations running smoothly. With a proven track record of success, we help organizations optimize their processes and achieve long-term success with a system that grows alongside them.

Discovery & Solution Identification

Step 1

Initial Discussions

We listen. We take the time to understand your business, your view of your industry, your challenges and your goals. Our team ensures that every ERP solution starts with a deep understanding of your unique needs.

Step 2

Management Vision & Scope

Alignment is key. We work closely with your leadership team to define the scope of your ERP implementation, ensuring it aligns with your business vision and long-term objectives.

Step 3

High-Level Functional Requirements

We identify the core functions your ERP system must support. From process automation to data integration, we outline the essential features that will drive efficiency and growth in your organization.

Step 4

Solution Presentation & Budget Review

Transparency and value come first. We present a tailored ERP solution that meets your needs, outlining the expected outcomes, implementation plan and budget considerations to ensure clarity and confidence.

Step 5

Proposal Review & Client Commitment

With a clear roadmap in place, we finalize the implementation plan and address any remaining questions. Once aligned, we move forward together, ensuring a seamless transition to your new ERP.

Execution & Implementation

Step 1

Project Charter

A successful implementation plan begins with a project charter. A project charter defines the project scope for the teams that will execute the plans. These are the people that will make key setup decisions and establish implementation strategies to align with business objectives.

Step 2

Design

Customization and development specifications are outlined in this phase. Our team ensures that necessary customizations, development and testing are completed efficiently while preparing for historical data conversion.

Step 3

Deployment & Training

We deploy the system and provide comprehensive training to ensure your team is fully equipped to leverage the new ERP system effectively.

Step 4

Go-Ready & Final Data Conversion

Final system refinements and data migration take place to ensure a seamless transition. This step confirms that everything is in place for a successful go-live.

Step 5

Go-Live & On-Going Support

The system is officially launched, and our team remains available for ongoing support to ensure smooth operations and continuous optimization.
