Manufacturing · Packaged software & ERP
Take back control of the software your business runs on.
Replace your packaged software, or complement it: the decision is made after scoping, not before. Either way, what you get back is your roadmap.
Something exists and no longer does the job
Control of your own roadmap
A free call, then scoping at a price stated up front
One increment at a time, each priced before it starts
01 · The situation
“We pay a great deal to rent a tool that does half of what we need from it, and the three changes we asked for never came.”
“It’s on the roadmap for a future release.”
Your request is weighed against the average of five hundred other customers.
We write what you do, not what a product is able to do.
02 · What we deliver
What it is
- The scope that moves out of the packaged software, written down and split into increments
- The tools that replace or complement it, put into service increment by increment
- Your bills of materials and your jobs as you manage them, not as a product understands them
- Maintenance and further development afterwards, directed by you
What it is not
- A generic overhaul of your information system
- A licence to rent
- Developer staffing
- A project billed for time spent
03 · The first step
Scoping
Replace or complement: the answer in writing
Two days on site, with the people who use the tool. We come away with what the packaged software handles, what it never will, the scope to take back, the breakdown into increments and a fixed price for the first one.
Duration
2 to 3 weeks, including 2 days on site
Deliverable
The written scope and its price
Scope
your current packaged software
Preceded by a free thirty-minute call. The price of scoping is stated before we start; the fixed price of the first increment is given once scoping is complete.
04 · The questions we are asked
“Do we have to replace everything?”
Usually not. Scoping sets out what stays in the packaged software and what moves out of it. Full replacement is a possible conclusion, never a starting point.
“What happens to our licence?”
What you already pay without seeing it is the real point of comparison, and it is a figure you work out yourself. We give you the written scope that lets you do so.
