Our Methodology
for ERP Optimization
The process starts with an assessment that helps build the as-is and to-be process models, along with the enterprise architecture. The assessment will find processes and data sets that might need to be redefined or re-engineered to make the ERP system more efficient. Once agreed on the to-be state of the system, the changes are then implemented and deployed.
1 Assessment
This phase starts with a deep diagnosis of the current issues, including the diagramming as-is and to-be states of the processes and enterprise architecture. This phase would come up with a few solutions with their pros and cons that can be explored further as the potential options to recover the project.
3 Technical Analysis
The phase is a very detailed design of the solution identified in the previous step. This step documents the interfaces and data mappings if there are going to be any technical changes.
5Optimization
This phase is the optimization phase if there might still be room for improvement after making those changes. Or if the suggested changes don’t work as expected. Then the next step would be to explore the other options.
2Business Analysis
This phase takes a deep dive into the option identified and builds the change journey for each persona impacted. This phase also explores the associated financial risks and identifiers a backup plan for each financial risk.
4Implementation
This phase implements and tests the changes required to recover the project. Sometimes the recovery could mean reimplementing the whole project. But the total time taken for re-implementation may not be as high as your data is already translated and exists in the right format.

ERP Strategy and Selection
Our ERP Strategy and Selection services start with an assessment of the current pain points with the current systems and existing ERP. The assessment results in building high-level as-is and to-be processes and change management and process reengineering recommendations. This phase is then followed by RFP development, vendor demonstrations, and finally, vendor negotiations.
ERP Implementation
This service helps clients when they have already decided on the ERP system they would like to implement. ElevatIQ can help whether you want ElevatIQ to implement the ERP or act as the client-side project manager. Our implementation process takes a comprehensive approach, not just focusing on the ERP implementation. But also building the entire architecture.
ERP Project Recovery
It’s very common that the ERP implementation would have substantial issues with implementation due to the overengineering of components or processes. The service helps clarify the architecture, remove overengineered processes and data, remove any unnecessary customizations, and rebuild the architecture designed to scale.
