Assessing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software

In preparing to launch its first new drug to the market, an East Coast USA life science company asked Ceiba Solutions to assess its pending ERP implementation project.

Answers were needed to the following questions:

1. Which ERP modules and additional functions are needed immediately to support the product launch?
2. How would ERP data get transformed into useful information for the business?
3. What support will be needed to insure that the software can grow with the organization?
4. What is the anticipated business impact of the ERP implementation?

The Ceiba Consulting team:

• Interviewed key personnel
• Developed requirements documents, including recommendations for business reporting
• Presented and evaluated various options to meet requirements
• Provided an implementation timeline that supported product commercialization while minimizing up-front investment
• Secured buy-in from all levels of the organization
• Delivered a report to the customer’s leadership team, including a presentation outlining recommendations for product launch

The Ceiba project team helped deliver a successful ERP project that met short-term cost constraints.
