ERP Consulting Services

Why choose an ERP system?

Every organization needs a backend system that serves as “one true truth” for their business data. An ERP (enterprise resource planning) solution solves this problem. 

ERPs are powerful, highly configurable systems that can cover every aspect of your business: 

• Financial data
• Customer data
• Product data
• Orders and shipments
• Supply chain processes
• Internal operational processes
• And much more

While separate solutions exist to cover many of these things, an ERP brings all your data together under one roof. This makes it possible to maintain a clean data environment, where it’s easy to find one true answer to any question about your business.

While modern ERP systems are incredibly powerful, some organizations choose to use specialized third-party systems to cover some functions. For example, a highly sales-focused organization might use a separate CRM (customer relationship management) solution to empower their reps to sell better. Ideally, this separate CRM solution should integrate fully with the company’s ERP for a clean, trustworthy data landscape. The same is true of WMS (warehouse management), SCM (supply chain management), and other specialized backend systems.

Why choose ERP consulting services?

A properly configured ERP system offers incredible benefits when it’s integrated to other essential systems. But in today’s fast-paced business environment, your team may not have the bandwidth to nail your ERP system—if they even have the expertise. In fact, ERP solutions typically require specialized consulting and services. 

A consultancy brings the necessary bandwidth, technical ERP expertise, and an outside perspective that’s not biased by internal culture or processes. The more experience a consultancy has, the more wisdom they can offer for your specific situation. The result is an intelligent, integrated ERP solution that takes best practices into account but is also tailored to your organization. 

What should I look for in an ERP consulting company?

Look for a consultancy that meets your needs in five essential ways:

• The right experience, expertise, capabilities, and services as it relates to your chosen ERP solution.
• Has a strong foundation in data integration.
• Has a strong foundation in EDI solutions (if you use EDI).
• Has a strong foundation in cybersecurity. 
• Acts like a true partner (easy to work with).

All five components are critical. An ERP consultancy can be experts in your technology stack, but if they’re a real pain to work with, the relationship may cause more headaches than it’s worth.

On the other hand, a partner could be great to work with—but if they don’t have deep expertise in your technology stack, then things still aren’t working.

In terms of finding a provider who acts as a true partner, look for these characteristics:

• Capable of implementing your new cloud strategy or turning things over to your team
• Approachable, professional, and empathetic
• Has a “can-do”attitude

Here at Corsica Technologies, we’ve got it all covered. From comprehensive capabilities to a “can-do” company culture, we’re making life easier for the people we serve. Contact us today, and let’s explore the next step in your ERP journey.

Do you offer implementation and support, or just consulting?

We are implementors and expert ERP technicians as well as seasoned consultants. If you work with us for a consulting engagement, our team is happy to implement, or we can turn things over to your team, whatever works best for you. At the end of the day, we’re here to see you succeed. 

How should we approach ERP migration?

An ERP migration is one of the most complex undertakings in the technology world. The right approach will look different for every organization, which is one of the biggest reasons to get outside consulting for an ERP migration. Broadly speaking, here are the principles that we advocate with our cloud migration clients. 

1. Get a full understanding of your current ERP configuration. 
2. Get a full understanding of your current operational processes. What’s working? What should be adjusted as you migrate to a new ERP?
3. How many functions can you keep inside the ERP rather than integrating to additional systems?
4. Take stock of your EDI needs, if any, both today and in the future. How will you get EDI data to and from your ERP?
5. Understand best practices in your industry. Are your processes aligned with them? If not, is there a compelling reason for doing things in a non-standard way? What benefits could you gain by aligning with best practices and out-of-the-box ERP functionality?

These questions are just the beginning. Contact us today to learn more about ERP migrations.

How are you different from other ERP consulting companies?

Great question! 

Two things set us apart:

1. We bring together business strategy and ERP expertise under one roof for a truly holistic approach. 
2. Our data integration team covers every major technology commonly used by businesses today. 

In other words, we’re a true one-stop shop for all things strategy, technology, and data integration. From consulting to implementation and support, we’ve got you covered. Our team is composed of career experts in :

• Business strategy
• Business transformation
• AI
• IT infrastructure
• Hardware (including HaaS)
• VoIP
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud systems
• Data integration
• EDI
• ERP
• CRM

Do you really handle EDI as well as other major technologies?

Yes! We’re one of the few technology service providers who covers EDI solutions in addition to standard services like cloud management and cybersecurity. Our career experts in EDI work closely with our other specialists to ensure all your essential systems run smoothly—with a strong security practice at the core. 

In fact, this is one of your biggest advantages. It allows you to work with one provider instead of acting as a referee between different partners who don’t care about mutual success. Here’s how our coverage looks:

We already have an ERP team. Can you work alongside us?

Absolutely! Our ERP consultants aren’t here to disrupt your team. We’re on your side, and we work collaboratively with you and your staff to achieve great results. 

When it comes to our ERP managed services, we’re flexible. We can cover all your needs in a “fully managed” scenario—or we can act as an extension of your staff in a “co-managed” scenario. It all comes down to what resources you have today, what you need, and where your gaps and goals are.

What does life as a Corsica client look like?

Great question. Everything we do is ultimately about people, and you’ll see that reflected in our day-to-day interactions. You shouldn’t have to deal with ERP consultants who don’t care and can’t actually advise on a complex challenge. We only hire next-level humans who are career experts in their fields.

Our team is:

• Approachable and empathic
• Responsive and respectful
• Intelligent and experienced
• Proactive problem-solvers

Our internal processes and operations are built for one purpose—to make life easier for you. This is especially evident in our managed services practice. Every managed services client has expert personnel assigned to their journey:

• Customer Experience Advisor
• Onboarding Admin
• Account Executive
• vCIO/vCISO (virtual CIO/CISO)

As far as communication, our team is always available 24/7/365 for any technology problem. Because our managed services pricing is simple and predictable, you’ll never get billed more when you need more. It’s all included. This empowers your team to go on doing what they do best—rather than fighting technology problems.
