If you have recently licensed an ERP, which vendor did you choose? What system integrator are using?  Did you use a consultant to help you decide?  If so, what consulting firm did you use?

We did a "big bang" rollout for ERP (Finance, procurement and HR) and went with Oracle Fusion (Cloud).  We did use a system integrator and ended up using 2 different consultants over a 2 year period: EY & KPMG

We recently went through the ERP selection process and ended up choosing a modular system rather than going with one of the huge names right off the bat. We were looking for something flexible that could scale with us over time instead of locking into a massive all-in-one suite upfront.

We didn’t have the internal bandwidth to evaluate everything ourselves, so we did bring in a consultant early on. Not just to help choose the ERP, but also to map out what we actually needed. We worked with a firm called Navsoft — they’re not one of the “big four” names, but that’s kind of why we went with them. Felt like they were more invested in figuring out what fit us best instead of pushing a preferred platform.

They looked at our operations and suggested a few ERP options that would align with how we work, rather than force us to change everything to fit the software. That made a big difference. They’re also handling our integration — they’ve got a team that specializes in tailoring and customizing ERP systems, so we didn’t need to involve another SI separately.

Honestly, the whole process felt less overwhelming with a partner who wasn't tied to a single product line.

It depends on many aspects, your size ,maturity and budget of the organization.
If it's small org and small budget, i may do my own research and choose the ERP and get it implemented by tier 2 or 3 vendor.
At large ERP implementation is a complex project where product and domain expertise is key and vendor must help.

Tech Mahindra, Mindtree, Accenture provides good tier1 service as integration partner.

We recently migrated from an in-house developed ERP to Workday. The project is two-phased, first being FIN and HR and the second being student (for higher education). We used Deloitte as the implementer. Being that our in-house system used COBOL and there is very limited resources in COBOL, it was an easy decision and one that did not require consultants. However, the risk was there have been little experience in ERP for a full suite that handles higher education, let along a system with 33 colleges and universities....

We went with Oracle ERP/EPM with Deloitte as an implementer.  Both of these decisions were heavily influenced by longtime experience with both the platform, the vendor and familiarity with our business complexity.
