Enterprise Solutions (ERP)

Enterprise Applications & Business Intelligence
You need enterprise systems that do more than support your business. You need them to help you grow.

The success or failure of these applications depends on two very important things: The data you’re putting into them and the information you’re pulling out of them.

The Enterprise Applications and Business Intelligence client teams at Lyons Consulting Group can help you get the most out of your business systems.

Six things to consider before your Enterprise Intelligence initiative:

1:	Focus: Whether you’re selecting a new ERP solution or upgrading/adding to an existing one, it’s important to focus on the business needs and processes that will be supported by this initiative. Have you done your homework to determine your needs prior to speaking with software vendors?
2:	Technology & Infrastructure: Software is just one piece of the initiative. Have you considered the cost and effort needed to implement your solution?
3:	Customization: You know there’s no ERP solution out there that will do exactly everything you need. How can you ensure that your customized enhancements will be supported in future releases?
4:	Change Management: Even the most successful ERP implementations fail if your users aren’t comfortable. Have you considered how you will handle change management when switching from the old system to the new one?
5:	Your Evolving Enterprise: Have you considered what’s next for your business? What are your long-term goals for growth and expansion? Will the software platform you’ve selected support those initiatives?
6:	Enterprise Intelligence: In order to meet your goals, you need to make informed decisions based on one version of the truth. Have you considered how you will obtain, manage and leverage the information in your new system?
