Turnkey ERP Implementations

We also provide a turnkey implementation that simply requires you to provide us with information on your end-users, the data we request and personnel to validate this data.

Key Benefits

  • Fixed price.
  • Fixed schedule within 3 months of providing us the requested information.
  • Guaranteed quality assurance with zero-defects.

What is the Operations-Driven Turnkey Implementation Process?

Operations-Driven Thinking begins with the end in mind and targets each individual end-user and the specific business processes they operate. The process can be summarized as follows:

  1. We provide you with the users profiles for each application and the specific business processes they operate.
  2. We define the layout of the target tables as well as the skills and resources required to map the interfaces and conversions.
  3. You assign the resources to map the source fields to the target fields provided by us for each application.
  4. You identify the end-users and match them to the user profiles we provide based on the specific business processes involved.
  5. We define the data and record layout required for the business processes related to each of these individual end-users.
  6. The end-users provide the data in the requested electronic format.
  7. We validate the data and input it onto the new system to provide a prototype for your review and acceptance.
  8. We provide individual desktop training tailored for each end-user and allow them to practice repeatedly until they achieve a state of operations excellence.
  9. We thoroughly test the online and batch processes and identify errors for correction until we achieve a state of zero-defects.
  10. We provide a fully tested migration path to move from a development to production environment and assist you in going live.

With this turnkey process, we are accountable for results and you do not pay us until we deliver the results. As such, there is no risk to you.


How fast can eReviewPanel complete the implementation and Go-Live?

The Operations-driven turnkey implementation process is committed to completing all the work necessary to Go-Live within 3 months of receiving all the data we request.


How fast can eReviewPanel start up the project?

All we need to start the project is a list of the end-users and the specific business processes they are responsible for on an ongoing basis. This really depends on the state of your existing records but we estimate this can usually be gathered within 2 to 3 weeks by your staff.


When are payments scheduled?

With the Operations-driven turnkey implementation process we get paid after we have completed a specific deliverable. As such, we carry the costs of all work-in-progress until such time as we deliver it. These deliverables are contracted for in advance and we assume the financial risk until they are delivered.


Does the Turnkey contract include a penalty for failure to deliver on schedule?

We can include a penalty for failing to deliver on schedule as long as you are willing to include an equal incentive for delivering ahead of schedule. The rationale for this is that if time is of the essence and any delay will cost you more than correspondingly an early delivery will save you money as well. As long as it is a two way street we are in agreement.


Do you work with other implementers and consultants?

We work with the vendor and other subject matter experts when we need specific expertise in order to outsource any onetime activities that could distract employees from their true objectives. We do not involve consultants in ongoing operational activities, as these must be performed and controlled by end-users directly.

We also do not require consultants to provide methodology and direction to the implementation. The reason for this is the Primacy Effect. The Primacy Effect is a psychological principle that says under pressure we tend to revert to our first-learned behaviors (for better or worse). Since Operations-driven thinking is not the consultant's first-learned implementation approach, under pressure they may revert to their own approach and cause unnecessary confusion on the implementation.
