Why ERP transformations fail & how to prevent it
Independent advisory oversight is the most effective
mitigation against the patterns that consistently derail
complex ERP programs.
The independent advisor difference
Integritty’s advisory team sits firmly on your side of the table providing expert
guidance, challenge, and assurance throughout your ERP journey.
Truly independent
We are structurally barred from bidding on systems integrator or vendor work in the same program. Our only incentive is your success not the next contract.
Challenge function
We critically evaluate vendor proposals, challenge assumptions, identify risk, & ensure commitments are defensible before you sign anything.
Continuity of intent
From strategy through selection through implementation, we maintain alignment between your business goals and what’s actually being built and delivered.
End-to-end ERP advisory services
Our advisory practice covers the full lifecycle from pre-procurement readiness through post-implementation assurance.
ERP Readiness & Current-State Assessment
Before selecting a solution, organizations must understand where they are. We conduct structured assessments that map your processes against leading frameworks, identify technical debt, and establish the business case for transformation.
- Process baseline using APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF)
- System landscape and integration complexity mapping
- Organizational change readiness assessment
- Business case development and investment validation
ERP Market Analysis & Platform Advisory
The ERP market is evolving rapidly cloud-native platforms, hybrid ecosystems, & adjacent SaaS applications create both opportunity and complexity. We translate market knowledge into platform-fit recommendations grounded in your specific context.
- Platform landscape assessment (S/4HANA, Oracle, Workday, Microsoft)
- Hybrid ERP ecosystem design and adjacent application strategy
- Total cost of ownership modelling across platforms and delivery models
- Reference architecture development and integration strategy
Procurement Design & Vendor Evaluation
A well-designed procurement produces better vendors, better proposals, and better outcomes. We design evaluation frameworks that reward operational fit not just price and run rigorous, defensible processes that stand up to scrutiny.
- RFP design and evaluation criteria development
- Vendor demonstration and scenario design (DITL methodology)
- Proposal scoring, consensus facilitation, and due diligence
- Contract negotiation support and commercial term review
Governance Framework Design
Governance defines how decisions are made, risks are managed, and conflicts are resolved throughout a multi year program. We design governance structures that scale with your program and hold up under pressure.
- Program governance and decision-rights frameworks
- Escalation structures and steering committee design
- Risk and issue management processes
- Change control and scope management protocols
Implementation Assurance & Oversight
Once a systems integrator is engaged, our advisors shift into an oversight and assurance role monitoring delivery, validating milestones, and ensuring the vendor’s work aligns with your original business objectives.
- Delivery monitoring against plan and contracted scope
- Independent quality assurance and milestone validation
- Issue escalation and vendor performance management
- Benefit realization tracking against original business case
Knowledge Transfer & Capability Building
Transformations should leave your organization stronger. We design knowledge transfer into every phase ensuring your teams emerge with the skills, documentation, and confidence to manage the ERP environment independently.
- Structured KT planning integrated into program governance
- Internal capability gap analysis and training design
- Documentation of decisions, rationale, and institutional knowledge
- Post-go-live support model and internal competency development
Outcomes-driven from day one
Traditional ERP advisory starts with technology and works backward to business need. We invert this: our engagements begin with a rigorous
understanding of how your organization actually operates, and every subsequent decision is evaluated against whether it improves those operations. This approach produces procurement processes that are defensible, vendor evaluations that are meaningful, and implementations that deliver against the business case not just the technical spec.

Joint Solution Procurement (JSP)
Our proprietary JSP methodology replaces traditional specification based RFPs with collaborative, scenario driven vendor engagement. Instead of vendors responding to abstract requirements, JSP requires them to demonstrate their solution against your real operational day in the life (DITL) scenarios producing far more meaningful evaluation data and far fewer surprises post contract.
Collaborative vendor workshops
Day-in-the-life (DITL) scenarios
Defensible evaluation outcomes
A phased advisory model that adapts to your program
Our engagements typically follow a structured phase model though scope is
tailored to where your organization is in its ERP journey.
