Definition
What erp consulting means here

Comparison
Vendor-led vs independent-led ERP selection
| Factor | Vendor-led | Independent-led |
|---|---|---|
| Incentive alignment | Licence revenue | Your business case |
| Requirements rigour | Demo-driven | Weighted and scripted |
| TCO transparency | Year one focus | Five-year model |
| Post-signature leverage | Low | Contracted SLAs and gates |
Advantages

- Costly mistakes are caught before contracts are signed
- Governance keeps scope and budget under control
- Business case measured after go-live, not forgotten
Trade-offs to plan for
- Adds a short phase before implementation begins
- Requires honest access to process and data problems
- Recommendations may challenge internal preferences
