ERP Implementation Readiness
Implementation success depends on a good plan and organizational preparedness.
We begin by defining a realistic project management plan that guides project execution and control. It will detail the strategies, scope, expectations, baseline plans, and estimated costs. We will also help you set up your organizational and governance models, including PMO and project teams. Finally, we’ll get you ready for change by aligning business leaders and key stakeholders, training your core team, implementing foundational business processes, and ensuring that data is ready for migration.

Implementation Strategy and Planning
We will prepare a comprehensive set of project plans that detail the implementation strategy and scope as well as execution-level plans. The planning documents include project charter, scope management, risk management, master schedule, change management, governance and teams, communication, training, technical, and financial management. We will lead organizational change workshops to assure executive and stakeholder alignment to the project goals and plans.
PMO, Project Governance, and Teams
Next, we will establish your internal PMO to equip your organization with the processes, governance models, and tools necessary for successful project execution. Additionally, we’ll help you build high-performance ERP teams that best suit your organizational needs and project demands.
We’ll also help you structure your executive committee, steering committee, core team, and subject-matter expert groups. We will then work with you to execute backfilling and cross-training plans to assure business continuity and core team contingency options.
Foundational Training, Workshops, and Roadshows
Fear of the unknown can lead to resistance. We train ERP teams on business processing best-practices and the implementation methodology to assure alignment on the future-state vision and the tasks that lie ahead. We also lead roadshows and workshops to communicate the implementation plan, upcoming changes, and impacts to affected business units and stakeholder groups.
Organizational Structure, Business Process, and Data Optimization
Approaching ERP implementation with a base level of readiness can shorten implementation, reduce cost, and minimize risk. We help our clients build a solid foundation by filling gaps in organizational structures, backfilling and cross training key personnel, implementing business process changes, and restructuring critical data files.
Implementation Accelerators
We help companies get a jump-start on implementation by working with the core team to develop key deliverables. By defining business scenario lists before kickoff, the core team is ready to evaluate out-of-the-box best-practice business processes and identify additional scenarios that will need to be mapped and piloted. We also help our clients get a jump start on data migration. By locating and cleansing data early, the team is ready to migrate key static data files to support the first piloting phase.

Testimonials
“Pemeco’s high caliber and collaborative team, combined with their project management discipline, business process knowledge and technology expertise have been instrumental – they have led our business requirements and road-mapping analysis that spanned customer experience, ERP, PLM, MES and other cross-functional areas. They then led us through a methodical evaluation of ERP, HCM, and CPQ solutions and were instrumental in helping us find the right long-term technology partners. We appreciate their efforts and support and would be happy to work with them again on future projects.”
“Pemeco delivers! The team excels across key disciplines – business process, systems, and plan execution – a combination that’s tough to find in consulting firms. Pemeco quickly delivered an actionable, deep needs assessment, a competitive analysis of ERP vendors, and an implementation plan.

“If you want to pick the right ERP system and if you want an approach that’s tailored to your business, hire Pemeco. They deliver a ton of value in negotiating with vendors. I don’t know how you can find another firm that does what they do.”
