Our current ERP no longer suited our company’s size and processes, and our primary goal was to determine whether there was a renegotiation path with our software vendor. We also wanted to compare our system to other options in the market to give our team visibility into the functionality we were missing. We did not have the internal resources to take on this project ourselves, so we brought on ERP Advisors Group to serve as a neutral party.
Overall, the project went well. EAG did a great job informing us of our options and aligning our team on our current capabilities versus what changes we should explore in the next 1-2 years. By mapping out high-level requirements and defining system functionality, EAG helped us create a business case that justified our efforts and raised awareness of our ERP’s abilities and limitations.
This process would have taken us far longer without EAG’s help, and we would have had the cost of setting aside internal resources to complete the project. The key assets that EAG brought to the table were industry knowledge of the software vendors and their selection process that we couldn't replicate.
I appreciated EAG’s neutrality and that they didn’t have an agenda or bias. They handled every discussion professionally, came prepared, documented necessary details, and showed they cared by listening to what we had to say. They laid the groundwork for us and helped substantially reduce the renewal rate with our current software provider over the next few years.

ERP Advisors Group was founded by Shawn Windle in 2010. He helped develop the technology practice at the largest accounting firm in Denver from 2004 - 2010 by offering Needs Analysis and Selection projects. But Shawn saw that clients were struggling during their implementations, even though they selected the right software. The firm’s partners were too averse to the risk of losing tax and audit business from a risky implementation. Thus, ERP Advisors Group was born with the purpose of providing Client-Side Implementation Services.
We take responsibility for the decisions we help our clients make during the Selection phase by staying on for their implementation, ensuring they go live with their new software.
