ERP/ENTERPRISE - Our methods ensure success in implementation and optimization of enterprise solutions
PerfOps’ primary mission to achieve business objectives often involves the implementation of new or optimization of existing enterprise level software.
Our deep experience in the following subjects applies to all enterprise software solutions:
-
In all areas of enterprise software we ensure the technology fits the business application, the process is optimized and that people are a fundamental part of the solution.
-
PerfOps has developed and maintains a proven and superior method for selecting enterprise software as well as finding the right services provider for each project. We reduce risk, ensure the right fit and identify resource gaps prior to spending on software licenses and solution provider services. This methodology has evolved from over 30 years of experience and is tuned for each specific type of enterprise software, project, target business environment and team. Our methods ensure the right requirements and use cases are known and documented prior to software selection. This activity prepares the team ahead of licensing, thereby saving implementation costs and delays.
-
We plan projects to ensure budgets are correct, functional gaps are addressed in project implementation and timelines as aggressive as possible while remaining realistic. PerfOps’ methods always reduce or eliminate project misses common in enterprise software implementations. Our planning process generates quicker results, ensures the business can continue to operate during implementation, and protects the owner’s investment.
-
We manage the solution design process from the owner’s perspective, which is superior to simply following what is best for the technology provider. We ensure the solution design takes into account the best practical process out of the gate as well as the sustainability of the solution. This activity is a key ingredient in improving ERP success both in the short and long term.
-
Operating teams have a varied amount of experience in using enterprise software, and usually a very limited skill set in implementing new solutions. PerfOps is unique in how we attend to the development of the owner’s team during solution implementation. Our objective is to leave the team stronger than at the project’s outset and therefore more capable of sustaining the solution over a long life. From skills development to leadership, PerfOps has solutions for this area which are critical to enterprise project success.
-
Both day to day project management as well as higher level project governance are requirements of all implementations. Our focus is on project management which helps the owner’s team with their activities as opposed to just activity tracking and timeline management. PerfOps starts with standardized processes for project management and governance, adapting as needed to fit each owner’s specific needs as well as the scope and expertise of the technology providers.
-
PerfOps is often called on to fill gaps in owner’s staff or project teams. With our experience we can more quickly and effectively both identify needed and evaluate prospective resources. Many times some of the key resources may be already untapped in the client’s team, and we can accelerate their development, thereby retaining resources which may otherwise be lost while both succeeding and enhancing the strength of the client team. Where client resources are not available then we look to contractors currently servicing the client, within the PerfOps ranks, with the last resort to search for new candidates. We can work with the owner’s HR team, recruiters we know and trust, or conduct our own searches, at the client’s preference.
-
PerfOps has a team of advanced team members who have the skills and experience to turn around troubled projects. We quickly identify and address root causes preventing projects from succeeding. We help correct the critical issues, ensure owners reclaim control of the project and get the implementation moving again. Typically, we stay involved at a fractional level to ensure objectives are met and that the solution is sustainable.

SYSTEMS EXPERTISE
PerfOps maintains a superior methodology for selecting enterprise software as well as finding the right ERP solution provider for each project. We reduce risk, ensure the right fit and identify resource gaps prior to spending on software licenses and solution provider services. During implementation, PerfOps offers a complete portfolio of services scaled and provided on an as needed basis, including project management, solution design, process and SOP development, training, application of technology, project governance and executive advisory.
PerfOps has been guiding the selection, designing and implementing warehouse management and automated material handling systems since 1988. There is nothing we haven’t seen in warehousing and distribution including all forms of Automated Data Collection (ADC) and every level of real-time automation. PerfOps can operate across all activities from the initial vision through facility design, storage and material handling equipment selection, software implementation and process optimization. Our team of project, operations and technology professionals can provide any level of service you require to achieve your warehousing objectives.
PerfOps has been working with TMS solutions for the past 20 years, including integration of such systems with ERP and WMS, and assisting owners with implementation. Our methods of bringing all resources together, including supply chain partners, to develop the optimum “to be” process, build stronger teams offering more supply chain resilience. As with all our areas of focus, we can work from initial vision through software and vendor selection, solution design, testing and optimization. Our project management and governance methods ensure these solutions actually achieve stated objectives. We help design and conduct testing and ensure project timelines are maintained.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are all part of PerfOps’ foundational expertise. PerfOps’ founder specialized in this area for 20 years prior to founding PerfOps and our teams regularly address MES and other related automation subjects on our projects. PerfOps maintains the skills and methods to lead selection, implementation and optimization of MES solutions, along with the integration of MES solutions into ERP and Asset/Maintenance systems. We were there before the term “MES” was coined and we literally helped develop the standards and write the handbooks defining what MES is today.
OTHER ENTERPRISE LEVEL SOLUTIONS
PerfOps has deep experience in other supply chain related solution technologies such as PLM, QMS, CMMS, etc. We can quickly generate Enterprise Software Roadmaps which pull all these functions together into a coherent system over the appropriate timeframes. The same methods we apply to ERP and WMS for software and solution provider selection, project planning, governance and management applying to projects in these areas.
Our knowledge and experience across these operations areas gives us the means to quickly create effective systems and operations roadmaps which speed deployment, reduce rework and protect owners’ investments.
