ERP Consulting & ERP Software Selection
Objective ERP Guidance
ERP is complex, but your evaluation approach does not need to be. It’s a natural tendency to evaluate something complex, with an equally complex evaluation process.

I've had the pleasure of interfacing with Andy Pratico for many years during our search for a Manufacturing ERP to replace our internally developed system. We originally purchased another ERP, and I met Andy just after we had given up on it. He is knowledgeable and very helpful providing advice regarding many of the dangers in that journey. He is very familiar with almost any ERP out there. Our decision did not favor the system that Andy represented but he helped me investigate other ERPs as well.

Thanks to Andy’s guidance, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge in effectively evaluating ERP systems. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve developed a much sharper ability to evaluate ERP solutions effectively. Andy has a unique talent for shedding light on aspects of ERP evaluation that often go unnoticed.
Before working with him, I was overwhelmed by the endless options, seeing only the appealing features but missing critical loopholes until much later in my research.

Andy has provided some straightforward and objective advice on how to proceed with software selection. This has allowed our company to focus on what functionalities are truly important to us and has allowed us to broaden our search to more cost effective solutions.
- Tristan Hulscher

Andy is a great source for insight into the ERP options available for small to medium-sized enterprises. In a short period, Andy was able to provide me with an overview of options--from Infor to Netsuite to Sage to QAD to IFS to Dynamics and more. Based on the profile of a company, he can provide the pros and cons of the options and recommend the best fit to your needs. He asked penetrating questions to understand the company in question. I can recommend Andy to others for this kind of service. Thanks so much Andy!

Why Objective ERP Guidance Matters?
Evaluating ERP through legacy methods is a complex, time-consuming undertaking. In fact, some claim this task is so daunting it is not even humanly possible. Attempting to reverse any mistake will be very expensive. And getting it right seems to be the exception. No wonder ERP customer dissatisfaction is so high.
Is there an Alternative Evaluation Approach that guarantees success? Yes and we accompany with you in this way.
Remember, if you do not like the ERP after you go live, why does it matter if you liked their sales demo?
