ERP
ERP solutions are large, complex, business critical systems that are highly integrated with the core processes within a business. Without a well-considered business and system design or thorough, experienced programme management, many ERP programmes fail.
DMW’s key expertise lies with understanding in detail the core business activities and drivers of an organisation and mapping these effectively in an ERP system. Such activities would include:
- Optimising, standardising and integrating business processes
- Balancing the approach between customisations, business process change and a vanilla implementation
- Design assurance – ensuring an optimal and fully integrated ERP design
- Project and programme management
We have full life-cycle implementation experience on a global, pan-European and local scale in a wide variety of industries with a number of different vendors. Our expertise covers programme management, enterprise and systems architecture, business process transformation and application integration using a variety of technologies. We believe these areas provide the most added-value to our clients and are the areas that carry most risk and require strong expertise and significant experience.
More recently, we have been engaged on a number of “project rescue” programmes to recover troubled deliveries, often working with incumbent and new suppliers to get the ERP implementation back-on-track and ensure delivery.
What we do:
Programme Management
Defining the overall governance, organisation, planning, structure and ongoing management, with an implementation approach designed specifically for an ERP implementation. Providing templates and support for all key stages in the lifecycle.
Enterprise / Solution architecture
We provide the architecture and design expertise to build optimised business processes that work in conjunction with the ERP system. Our design governance ensures that all the parts of the complex ERP puzzle fit together correctly.
Application Integration
Using both recent EAI capabilities such as SOA and older technologies, DMW provides expertise in system and application integration. This is often required by organisations with existing ERP systems to maximise their investment and integration with other parts of the business.
