Independent ERP selection

Choose an ERP without vendor bias

Independent ERP selection puts requirements, the RFP and vendor evaluation in the hands of an advisor who sells neither software nor implementation services. PlanAxion represents the client, documents the criteria and makes the final decision defensible.

The deliverable is not a list of software

You leave with documented criteria, comparable gaps, a reasoned recommendation and a stronger basis for negotiating with the selected software vendor and implementation partner.
