Quotebeam Case Study
ERP Integration and Platform Architecture Strategy Advisory
Learn how Quotebeam integrated with multiple ERP systems and solidified its go-to-market strategy and platform design.
Problem
Despite working with other ERP consultants, Quotebeam struggled to make progress in integrating several ERP systems with its platform.
Being a tech platform, they wanted to keep the control inside their company and not use any other proprietary software.
Considering their limited experience with ERP ecosystems, getting advice that covered different perspectives such as legal, integration, licensing, and go-to-market strategy was challenging.
The OEM ERP support rarely helped with the design questions that Quotebeam had. And typically they would send out links and PDFs, with a procedural description.
Struggled to create a comprehensive enterprise architecture with subject matter expertise on multiple ERP systems.
Getting traction from ERP vendors was a challenge due to their limited understanding of who’s who in the ERP world.
