ERP Selection

Isn't ERP selection just about comparing features and demos?

Updated 10/5/2025

Feature checklists and vendor demos are only one slice of the decision. Harbor View Consulting guides clients through organizational readiness, business case validation, vendor viability, total cost of ownership, and implementation partner fit so the selection stands up under real-world pressure. We help stakeholders align on operating model requirements, weigh risk scenarios, and quantify change management impacts before a shortlist is finalized.

How is Harbor View different from ERP resellers or implementation shops?

Related Questions

How is Harbor View different from ERP resellers or implementation shops?

We operate as an independent advisor with no reseller agreements, referral fees, or downstream implementation quotas. That independence keeps our recommendations tied to your business priorities instead of vendor incentives. Harbor View delivers market scans, scorecards, and commercial negotiations that are objective, vendor-neutral, and defensible with executive stakeholders.

Can Harbor View continue supporting us after the selection?

Yes. Many clients transition directly into implementation readiness, partner oversight, change management, and hypercare engagements with the same Harbor View team that led selection. We de-risk handoffs by building implementation roadmaps, KPI frameworks, and governance cadences during selection so execution ramps quickly once contracts are signed.

What deliverables should we expect at the end of an ERP selection?

Harbor View delivers a documented recommendation package that includes business case validation, weighted vendor scorecards, risk register, negotiation playbook, implementation readiness checklist, and executive-ready documentation that explains the rationale behind the decision. Clients leave with clear next steps, ownership of the decision, and artifacts that accelerate implementation.
