Enterprise Projects & ERP

Enterprise projects built on
ERP, AI and Infor M3.

We lead and deliver the programs that change how your business runs, from a new ERP implementation to a move onto Infor CloudSuite. You work with consultants who understand your business process and the system behind it.

01Overview

Your enterprise projects start with your ERP

A rollout, a cloud upgrade, a data migration and an AI initiative all depend on the same core system: the ERP that runs your orders, inventory, finance and service.

We have worked on ERP programs for chemical, crop science, heavy equipment and aerospace organizations, across supply chain, sales, finance, data migration and support.

You get business, functional and technical consultants on one team, so decisions about process, configuration and code get made together. Because we also deliver AI, we design your ERP with that next step in mind.

02Infor M3 expertise

Infor M3, from the business case to the code

Infor M3 is Infor’s cloud ERP for manufacturing, distribution and equipment businesses. It runs multi-company, multi-country and multi-site operations, and it sits at the core of several Infor CloudSuites.

We bring all three kinds of M3 expertise to your program. Business consultants shape your processes and lead the change. Functional consultants configure M3 to fit those processes. Technical consultants build the integrations, extensions and reports that connect it to everything else.

We can join at any stage, whether you are planning a first implementation, moving to multi-tenant CloudSuite or getting more from the M3 system you already run.

05Process

How we run an enterprise project

We shape each program around your situation. Five stages keep it on track from the first assessment to steady operations.

  1. Step 1: Assess

    We review your processes, systems, data and goals, then agree scope, risks and a realistic plan.

  2. Step 2: Design

    We design future-state processes and the configuration, integrations and data model that support them.

  3. Step 3: Build & Migrate

    We configure, extend and integrate the system, and run trial data migrations until the numbers reconcile.

  4. Step 4: Go-live

    We test with your people, rehearse the cutover and support you through the switch.

  5. Step 5: Sustain

    We stabilize, train and improve after go-live, with onshore and offshore support available 24/7.

FAQs

Your questions,
answered.

Still have a question?

Let's connect

Do you only work with Infor M3?

Infor M3 is our deepest specialty, but our work covers wider ERP programs too, including data migration, upgrades, advisory and support. Tell us what you run and we will give you a straight answer on where we can help.

Can you join a project that is already under way?

Yes. We can join mid-program as advisors, run a project health check or fill specific business, functional or technical roles. We start by understanding where the project stands, then focus on the issues that put go-live at risk.

Should we move to Infor CloudSuite or multi-tenant M3?

It depends on your customizations, integrations, data and timing. Moving to multi-tenant usually means replacing modifications with supported extensions and planning for regular updates from Infor. We assess what you run today and give you a roadmap and business case, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

How do you approach data migration?

We treat data as its own workstream with a named lead. We profile and cleanse the source data, map it to the target ERP, then run trial loads with reconciliation until your business signs off. Ownership and quality rules stay in place after go-live.

What do business, functional and technical consultants each do?

Business consultants work on how your company operates: processes, roles and change. Functional consultants configure the ERP to support those processes and test that it does. Technical consultants handle integrations, extensions, reports and data loads. Most projects need all three working closely, and we can supply them as one team.

What happens after go-live?

We stay through stabilization, then hand over to your team or keep supporting you. Our onshore and offshore teams can cover your ERP 24/7, and you keep working with people who know your system.
