Business Readiness Assessment

 

Choosing when and how to implement a new enterprise system is just as important as choosing which system you adopt. 

Most ERP projects don’t fail because of the software.
They fail because the business wasn’t ready.

Processes aren’t agreed, data is a mess, and leadership alignment exists only on paper. By the time anyone realises, the budget is already committed and the project is too far in to pull back.

A Business Readiness Assessment exists to stop that from happening to you. 

 

Get In Touch To Start Your

Free Initial Consultation

You’ll spend 30 minutes with a Director where you'll discuss your business objectives, current challenges, and future goals. We’ll assess whether a Business Readiness Assessment is the right fit for your organisation and outline the next steps if you decide to proceed.

This service is designed for organisations that want to avoid costly implementation mistakes.

It’s particularly valuable if:

  • You’re planning ERP selection in the next 3–12 months

  • Your business has outgrown its current systems

  • A previous project didn’t go as planned

  • Internal answers feel inconsistent or unclear

If any of that sounds familiar, readiness matters.

Speak to our team to understand whether your business is genuinely ready for change.

The Problem

most businesses run into

 

Before ERP selection even starts, the warning signs are usually there:

  • Different teams describe the same process in different ways

  • Reports are built manually because no one trusts the system data

  • Critical workarounds live in spreadsheets or people’s heads

  • Stakeholders agree to move forward, but not on what success looks like

None of this stops an ERP project from starting. But it almost always causes delays, rework, and cost overruns later.

 

Why Undertake a

Business Readiness Assessment?

 

Businesses often assume they’ll “sort the problems during implementation”. But skipping readiness typically leads to:

  • Scope creep caused by unclear requirements

  • Data migration issues that stall timelines

  • Systems that technically work but don’t fit the business

  • User resistance and poor adoption

  • Expensive fixes after go-live

By then, changing direction is painful and expensive.

A Business Readiness Assessment forces clarity before commitment.

It shows you, in practical terms, whether your processes, data, systems, and people are actually ready for system change. And if they’re not, it highlights exactly what needs fixing first.

This protects you from choosing the wrong system, over-customising, or locking in problems that should have been addressed earlier.

What to Expect From Our Business Readiness Assessment Service

Process Reality

We assess how your core processes actually work end to end, not how they’re documented or how they’re “meant” to work.

This helps uncover duplication, inefficiencies, and workarounds that will cause friction once an ERP enforces standardisation.

Data Trustworthiness

We assess the quality, ownership, and consistency of your data across key areas like finance, inventory, customers, and suppliers.

This highlights migration risk early, before timelines get blocked or reports stop being trusted.

Systems & Dependencies

We review your current systems, integrations, and manual dependencies to understand where hidden complexity lives.

This helps prevent surprises during selection and stops critical tools or processes from being overlooked.

People & Alignment

We assess leadership alignment, decision ownership, internal capability, and change readiness.

This exposes gaps between what stakeholders say they want and what the organisation is actually prepared to support.
