Our accounting and financial management implementation projects are backed by proven consulting methodologies, experience and quantifiable results, and our consultants have very broad and deep understanding of the leading accounting and financial management software packages. The success of an organization’s ERP implementation project is actually determined during the discovery and planning phases. PBSI consultants have the expertise to develop an effective plan for the successful deployment of your selected solution. Our projects include the following phases:

Evaluate - define business requirements, evaluate potential solutions, select and negotiate the purchase.
Plan - In addition to project management planning, during this phase we are developing the requirements and designs for system architecture, data migration, security, accessibility, training, and deployment.
Build - During the build phase the team will prepare the infrastructure, install server components, configure the solution, import data and extend system functionality.
Deploy - Deployment of the solution includes deploying the system to remaining users and planning for recurring maintenance and updates.
Operate - In this phase, the business process expert and the implementation team perform knowledge transfer and begin to monitor process performance, organizational performance, and business proficiency.

FAQs

How long does a typical implementation take? A "typical" implementation is not easily defined. Many ERP systems are very robust product and each customer's needs are different - even within the same industry. Depending on client-side issues, an implementation including training and go-live support for a medium sized organization can be performed correctly and completely in 3-6 months for the "typical" mix of purchased modules and number of users.

What about training? Training should never be rushed and it should always be more than a 2-4 hour presentation of "this button does this" and "that module window shows that" Training should focus on "why", not just "how" and be easy for the user to relate what is happening on the screen to processes that are happening on the floor, warehouse, etc. At the end of the project, your users will be very well trained and able to understand the processes and how information entered flows throughout the system. They will be able to handle every required transaction, almost any post-implementation issue, and understand every required reporting tool and reports produced.

My company insists on using a value added reseller (VAR), can PBSI be our systems integrator? Absolutely. All implementations are performed in accordance with PMI and the vendor’s best practices and are extensively documented.

PBSI consultants have broad experience working with governmental agencies, convention centers, stadiums, museums, zoos, conference centers, and other types of organizations world wide. Although we try to be independent and technology-agnostic, our team has specific experience with Microsoft Dynamics and Event Business Management System [EBMS.]
