At RubinBrown, we have a team of experienced independent enterprise resource planning (ERP) consultants who partner with companies to execute their ERP software implementations. We know that implementing a software solution can have a significant impact on your entire organization. That is why our process includes a 100% software vendor-independent approach, so that our only focus is on our client's best interests. Additionally, we provide comprehensive support for all steps of the process from system selection to post-implementation support and everything in between.

 

Why choose RubinBrown for your ERP implementation?

Beyond being our clients' ERP experts, RubinBrown consultants help companies focus on their business goals. We partner with our clients to make sure that they have the right data, information, and oversight to achieve a successful ERP selection and implementation that meets their business needs.

Active Project Management

Years of experience in ERP implementation services have taught us that a successful implementation is critical to the long-term success of your company. RubinBrown's independent ERP consultants can work with you and the selected Software Provider or Value-Added Reseller (VAR) to create a realistic and achievable implementation plan. Additionally, using RubinBrown as your ERP Project Management consultant can help ensure the successful completion of your project aligned to business goals.

Organizational Change Management (OCM)

Even when a company chooses the "right" software, without a strategic Organizational Change Management (OCM) plan, their ERP project is at risk for failure. Top industry researchers, including Gartner and others, have surveyed many companies over the years with the same results. If you do not adopt a change management plan specifically tailored to your workforce, industry, and the software systems selected, your chance of success drops below 50%, and in some studies, much lower.

Employee Training & Planning Services

Our team of consultants can help provide training and development services to support your overall technology modernization initiative. Most training provided by software companies or Value-Added Resellers focuses only on how to use their software. We leverage our industry experience and expert knowledge of ERP systems to help create and deliver the entire training package to support optimized performance of employees across your organization- not just the individuals who will be using the ERP solution.

The role of RubinBrown ERP consultants

The role of the consulting team within the ERP implementation process varies depending on which consulting firm you work with. Our experienced consultants believe in partnering with our clients. Our role is to guide you through the process and provide the support, structure, and information your company needs to drive success. You ultimately make the decisions regarding your current software and new ERP systems. We know the right questions to ask the ERP vendor based on your specific requirements. Our job as your implementation consultant is to empower you so you can make the most informed decisions for your business. 

Our dedication to our clients does not just extend to C-suite executives and decision makers. For an ERP project to succeed, buy-in from all employees using the ERP product is essential. That is why we incorporate your workforce into this process. We provide workshops to ensure your team understands every aspect they need to in order to operate and feel comfortable using their new technology solution.

Why do ERP consulting services matter?

Whether you have chosen an "out of the box" software solution or a completely tailored enterprise software, it is not the software selection itself that determines whether your implementation will be successful. It is understanding how everything is going to come together, and only experience can do that.

This requires experienced ERP consultants who know nothing is "out of the box." There are a dozen factors that will impact whether your ERP implementation will be a success, and we know how to plan, mitigate risks, capitalize on opportunities, and execute successfully across industries, company-sizes, and product lines.

Decades of expertise in ERP have taught us not only how to look at your project holistically from 10,000 feet, but how, and when, to drill down into the small, minute details of the workstreams and business processes already in play and those that are down the road.

When done properly, an advisory and implementation team will ensure the results of your ERP implementation include:

• improved efficiency
• streamlined processes across departments
• improved customer satisfaction
• unified and more accurate data management and forecasting abilities

Successful ERP implementation will not only improve your existing business processes. It will also make sure those business processes are scalable for future growth. Our team will get an understanding of your growth goals to make sure that the ERP software chosen can accommodate that growth potential effectively whether they encompass artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based solutions, data analytics, etc.
