Digital transformation will adjust your companies business processes but also create value and differentiation from your competitors. A new ERP is typically at the center of this transformation. However, before jumping in, planning and organizational assessments need to be conducted to ensure you are ready to embark on the journey.
Selecting an ERP system is an effort in and of itself before even thinking about implementation. The ERP system will be a core application for the organization for years to come and it is critical to ensure it will address your core, common, and divergent business processes out of the box as best as possible.
Read Our InsightAn ERP implementation will not only have a high price tag for a company but will also require your top resources and employees' time and focus to ensure its success. Liberty has experience implementing ERPs for companies of all sizes and industries and will set up a framework to keep all parties, from stakeholders to implementation team to end users, aligned as the program gets from start to finish.

Many organizations will look to take on an ERP implementation internally or with system integrators that haven't set the company up with the right amount of up front planning. Liberty has a health check methodology to come in and assess an ERP program, provide target focus areas to right the implementation, and drive actionable changes in program governance in the case of a rescue.
Post implementation, an ERP system can always be optimized whether looking at the internal/external processes, data governance processes, and/or technical configuration of the system. Liberty will provide an optimization assessment across People, Process, Technology, Data, and Governance/Cost structures to drive optimal enhancements.
M&A activity is another one of Liberty's specialties. A large company that is divesting or carving out a business unit is going to need a solid ERP carveout plan to ensure they complete the work in order to hit TSA timelines but also to ensure that costs are assessed appropriately so they do not lose out on the deal.
