ERP Selection

    What deliverables should we expect at the end of an ERP selection?

    Updated 10/4/2025

    Harbor View delivers a documented recommendation package that includes business case validation, weighted vendor scorecards, risk register, negotiation playbook, implementation readiness checklist, and executive-ready documentation that explains the rationale behind the decision. Clients leave with clear next steps, ownership of the decision, and artifacts that accelerate implementation.

    Isn't ERP selection just about comparing features and demos?

    Feature checklists and vendor demos are only one slice of the decision. Harbor View Consulting guides clients through organizational readiness, business case validation, vendor viability, total cost of ownership, and implementation partner fit so the selection stands up under real-world pressure. We help stakeholders align on operating model requirements, weigh risk scenarios, and quantify change management impacts before a shortlist is finalized.

    How is Harbor View different from ERP resellers or implementation shops?

    Harbor View offers ERP selection advice, technology implementation services and published technology alliances. Evaluate the proposed team, vendor relationships, fee arrangements and follow-on work before commissioning a selection. The service includes market scans, scorecards and commercial negotiations.

    Can Harbor View continue supporting us after the selection?

    Yes. Many clients transition directly into implementation readiness, partner oversight, change management, and hypercare engagements with the same Harbor View team that led selection. We de-risk handoffs by building implementation roadmaps, KPI frameworks, and governance cadences during selection so execution ramps quickly once contracts are signed.
