Avoid Costly Mistakes and Maximize Your Return on Investment
Bill Gates famously said these two rules for technology and using automation—which is what ERP implementations are all about:
- The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency.
- The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
Implementing ERPs costs a lot of resources—both time and money. That is why it’s essential that you go in with a roadmap for success. Simply believing the promise of reducing a 20-step process that takes 5 days into 2 steps in 15 minutes is not enough. Picking a software vendor and having the budget to pay for it isn’t enough either. Without looking at your existing processes and workflows, then deciding to move them to an ERP system is a recipe for disaster.
Our ERP Implementation Services Include
Pre-implementation Assessment
We begin with a pre-implementation assessment to ensure that your organization has the resources and support in place for success—including people, processes, and technology. Our team will assess the current environment and business requirements and determine where systems may need to be adapted to accommodate new processes. Proper planning at this stage dramatically increases your chances of a successful ERP implementation.
Implementation Strategy Development
Once the assessment is complete, we develop an implementation strategy that bridges your current situation and desired future state. Our team will establish realistic timelines and review any potential risks along with mitigation strategies for those risks in order to ensure a successful go-live. With a clear roadmap, implementation is faster, and therefore, costs less money and resources.
Project Management and Delivery
During the implementation process, our team will provide project management and guidance to ensure that tasks are completed on-time and within budget. Our experienced consultants will help you navigate any challenges that may arise along the way.

What Makes Orion’s ERP Implementation Services Different
Software Agnostic
Some people think that software is the most important thing when it comes to ERP implementations. But it’s not. What’s really important is the process. That’s what we focus on. Software is just a tool you use to automate repetitive tasks (or processes or workflows).
Our ERP Implementation Services are software agnostic—meaning we can help you regardless of the platform you choose. We are experts in process development and optimization, so no matter which software you decide to use, our team will be able to maximize its potential.
Strategic and Tactical
Failing to see the forest for the trees is a common pitfall of ERP implementations and something that we strive to avoid. Newcomers tend to solely concentrate on the charts and diagrams without fully comprehending the situation or the implications of each step.
Our ERP Implementation Services take a balanced approach that focuses on both strategic and tactical aspects. We don’t just fill in the blanks — we analyze, interpret, and make informed decisions based on our experience and expertise. With real-world hands-on experience, our consultants were part successful ERP implementations that have resulted in improved business processes, increased cost savings, and more efficient operations. By leveraging our expertise, your organization can take advantage of the best practices used on these projects to ensure success.
Flexible
Since every organization is different, it’s impossible to have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to ERP implementations. That’s why we take a flexible approach—tailoring our services to meet the needs of your business and leverage best practices that are proven to work in any situation.
Our team has experience for more than 25 years and has been leveraging this knowledge to provide our clients with the most efficient and cost-effective ERP implementation services possible.

Are you considering investing in a new ERP or IT System?
We get it. Technology is sexy. It’s hard to resist the urge to dive in head first and start picking vendors.
It can be easy to get caught up in the features and potential of automation technology, but it’s important to keep in mind what steps should be taken prior to implementation.
If the processes aren’t set up correctly beforehand, the investment just won’t yield the desired results. Implementing an ERP system doesn’t have to be a gamble.
Don’t put the cart before the horse.
Time and time again, we’ve seen companies come back to us after picking a “technology” vendor only to find out their company wasn’t ready. Unfortunately, this means they spent a time and money that they can’t get back yet still have a mess of an ERP system.
Our ERP Implementation Services can help ensure that your organization avoids costly mistakes while maximizing the return on investment of your ERP system. Because we are experts on process management, Orion will help your organization get it right the first time by using process analysis and business analysis to enable an effective, and more importantly, successful IT implementation.
