It depends on how tightly your entities and processes are linked. We compare both options on risk, cost and the business calendar before you decide.
San Francisco Solutions
Best ERP solutions company in San Francisco
Finance, supply chain, HR and projects on one core, with controlled rollouts and repeatable data migration. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in San Francisco on ERP, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
ERP programmes put finance, supply chain, HR and projects on one core system. The work is fit-gap analysis against standard processes, segregation of duties, repeatable data migration and integrations that survive upgrades.
We work with clients across the Middle East and beyond. For organisations in San Francisco, that usually means a programme with a Gulf footprint: we plan for your home-market data protection rules and for the GCC laws, such as the UAE and Saudi personal data protection laws, that apply where systems and data will sit.
Before go-live, we run a full rehearsal of the cutover with the team who will operate the service, and agree in advance how problems will be escalated in the first weeks after launch.
Where you already work with systems integrators or vendors, we can deliver in partnership with them, with each party's responsibilities written into the contract.
Where the effort goes
We concentrate on the points below, because that is where the work usually stumbles.
- A chart of accounts and organisation structure agreed before configuration.
- Segregation of duties designed into roles from the start.
- Trial migrations reconciled by finance before cutover.
What we check first
ERP overruns usually start with customisation. We hold to standard processes unless a gap is agreed with its business owner, and rehearse the cutover more than once.
At the end of each phase we provide the proof your risk and audit teams need to file: test results, access reviews and signed handover documents.
Before you start
Practical questions from IT and procurement teams.
Each phase is scoped and priced separately, with the team, the deliverables and the acceptance criteria written down, and you receive an itemised quote before work starts.
Your team, unless you choose managed services. We name who is responsible for each component before launch, hand over the runbooks and train your people.
How the work runs
Four stages, each with clear criteria for moving to the next.
Discover
We document the current set-up, the people involved and the constraints, and agree what success looks like.
Design and plan
We set the target design, phases, test approach and acceptance criteria, and review them with your architects and risk team.
Build and test in stages
We deliver in increments, testing and demonstrating each one before the next begins.
Hand over
We hand over runbooks, train your team and support the launch, then formally transfer responsibility to the people you nominate.
