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.

Understand

Current-state mapping, stakeholder alignment, and business case validation before a single requirement is written.

Design

Governance, procurement structure, and evaluation criteria designed to produce fit-for-purpose proposals.

Select

Rigorous, evidence-based vendor evaluation using real operational scenarios not hypothetical demos.

Assure

Ongoing oversight throughout implementation to protect the original intent and hold delivery accountable.

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

Vendors co-design solution configurations alongside your subject matter experts surfacing fit issues before contract award.

Day-in-the-life (DITL) scenarios

Evaluation is built around how your people actually work not abstract technical requirements that vendors can game.

Defensible evaluation outcomes

Scoring grounded in observable, ocumented evidence reducing protest risk and building confidence in the selected solution.

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.
