ERP Readiness Assessment

Before we recommend any ERP system or implementation partner, we assess whether your business is genuinely ready to implement one. Most organisations are not, and discovering that before signing a contract is extraordinarily valuable.

What It Covers

Six pillars of ERP readiness

The assessment evaluates your organisation across six dimensions that our experience shows to be most predictive of ERP implementation success. Each pillar is scored independently. The composite score determines your readiness classification and shapes every subsequent recommendation.

Process Documentation

Are your core business processes, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, production, HR, documented clearly enough to translate into ERP configuration? Undocumented processes cannot be systematised.

Data Quality

Chart of accounts structure, master data integrity, historical transaction data, the quality of data you migrate into an ERP determines whether it functions as a system of record or a source of confusion.

Team Capacity

ERP implementations require significant internal resource commitment. We assess whether the people who need to drive the project can actually free up the capacity to do so without breaking the business.

Executive Alignment

When the CEO, COO, and CFO hold different expectations of what the ERP will solve, those misalignments surface mid-implementation as scope conflicts. We surface and address this before the project begins.

Integration Complexity

Legacy systems, CRMs, e-commerce platforms, customs portals, banking feeds, every integration point is a risk and a cost. We map your integration landscape before any platform evaluation begins.

Change Readiness

Does your organisation have the cultural capacity to absorb significant process change? Prior change initiatives, and how they landed, are among the strongest predictors of ERP adoption success.

Readiness classification outcomes

Ready to Proceed

Score: 75–100

Your organisation has the process maturity, data quality, team capacity, and leadership alignment to begin a structured ERP evaluation. We proceed to platform shortlisting.

Conditionally Ready

Score: 45–74

Specific readiness gaps exist that, if unaddressed, materially increase implementation risk. We provide a prioritised gap closure plan before proceeding.

Not Yet Ready

Score: 0–44

Beginning an ERP project in the current state carries high failure risk. We provide a detailed remediation roadmap and recommend a deferred timeline.
