ERP Transformation

Technology itself is rarely the main reason for challenges faced in ERP projects and transformation programs. Instead, the challenges are typically caused by a combination of organizational, process and technology related issues. Midagon's approach to leading ERP related initiatives focuses on balancing all of these core areas. We offer professional project management with strong business and process insight, combined with people and leadership skills.  

Our team has impressive experience from ERP initiatives and implementations in various industries, companies, operations and cultures. We also have broad experience from all ERP technologies and solutions on the market. We know where the technology makes a difference and in which project aspects the same rules apply, regardless of the chosen technology. 

Let’s make your ERP transformation succeed!

Your trusted partner from strategy through the implementation phases

We focus on business benefits realization while sticking to the defined time and budget, working objectively and as we say, “always in the client's shoes”. Standing in the client's shoes, we focus on leadership, management, and coordination in the key roles and areas of ERP programs. We see an ERP transformation primarily as a business development project, with technology as a significant enabler. However, Midagon is not a technology provider and we have no developers or programmers.

Selecting the right solutions and vendors for the business is a key success factor. In addition to an overall ERP strategy definition, we help you with the vendor strategy and technology evaluation. Additionally, we help you to run the competitive bidding process professionally and efficiently and support you in contract negotiations to ensure a solid start and succesful project execution.  

In addition to the technical ERP integration partner, every transformation involves several other vendors, as an ERP solution is never an island. This means a strong vendor management is needed. During execution, we actively manage the vendors and protect our client’s interests as part of the program management concept. 

ERP transformation inevitably leads to changes in business processes, including the operating model and principles on tactical and strategic levels. With our process and domain expertise, we help you to gather business requirements, redesign the relevant processes and define the overall concepts and architecture.  

In addition to the technology and process impacts, ERP projects also have a strong effect on people. We support you in assessing the change impact, with change management and communication activities. Ensuring the motivation and commitment of everyone affected by the transformation is essential.   

Midagon typically steps into roles in critical project and implementation areas, where sufficient skills and experience are often not available internally. In addition to project and program management, we often help with test management, data and migration management, integrations management, cutover and deployment management, and others alike.
