A Moreland success story in Vendor Management
A global distributor had failed two times to implement a top-tier ERP solution to manage their business. Before attempting another effort, the client called Moreland to help select a package and implementation partner. The Moreland team worked with client executives and the implementation team to identify the critical characteristics of their desired software and vendor partner. The result was a nine month implementation that was completed at a cost that was 80% under initial forecast.
Moreland's Expertise
Moreland has selected, implemented, or picked up the pieces of struggling software implementation projects. Many middle market software companies don't have the business expertise required to make your business work efficiently with their software. This gap frequently results in significant and costly software customization. Moreland's experience helps its clients to avoid these customizations, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars and many months of implementation time.
