EOH Technology Consulting, a certified professional services provider of Technology Evaluation Centres (TEC), has launched the TEC ERP for services evaluation centres, to help companies select the right ERP software solution - an often-challenging process.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) for services is defined as an enterprise-wide integrated information system that manages the operations, services and resources for service organisations.
Typically, ERP for services systems offers modules that provide the entire back office systems, CRM, time-management, expense-management, project-management, resource-management and project management capabilities. Keith Fairhurst, director EOH Technology Consulting, asserts: "As technology becomes increasingly central to service organisations, solutions that can facilitate, streamline and automate operations are becoming a 'must have' in large service organisations."
EOH Technology Consulting suggests companies engage in an online comparison of ERP solutions before approaching vendors with a request for proposal. This can save time, money and staffing resources during the selection process.
According to EOH Technology Consulting, ERP solutions often fail because customers lack a solid understanding of their own requirements. This is largely a failure in the request for information process (RFI), by which customers evaluate their short-listed vendors.
EOH Technology Consulting also says the sophisticated TEC tools it distributes for evaluating and selecting the right solution providers, particularly at the critical RFI stage, can eliminate these kinds of problems, helping to ensure an accurate, cost-efficient ERP selection process.
