Choosing an ERP system is only one part of managing enterprise technology. Businesses also need to make sure the software fits their operations, supports their goals, and remains useful as requirements change. Sikich works with companies across this process, offering ERP consulting, implementation, migration, and ongoing support. Its services cover solutions such as Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, and Salesforce.

The company works with businesses that need to replace older systems, address problems with an ongoing implementation, or improve the way their existing software operates. Sikich's ERP consulting begins with understanding a company's challenges and goals before identifying a suitable way forward. Its team also considers how the system will fit existing processes and what the organization needs from the technology.

Sikich's work continues beyond implementation. The company provides migration assistance and ongoing support to help clients manage their systems throughout their lifecycle. Its services cover both businesses preparing for a new ERP system and those looking to improve an existing one.

ERP Services by Sikich

ERP Rescue and Recovery

An ERP or CRM implementation can encounter problems at different stages. A project may lose direction, or the system may fail to meet the requirements for which it was introduced. Sikich offers rescue and recovery services for businesses dealing with these situations and can join a project at different stages of implementation.

The company begins by understanding the client's business goals and the reasons behind the original technology decision. Its consultants then review the existing system and reassess its standard functionality to identify gaps. Sikich also helps businesses establish executive sponsorship and develop communication plans that explain the purpose of the project to employees.

The recovery approach focuses on finding a workable path forward rather than assuming that the entire project must be abandoned. Sikich has experience with recovery projects involving Dynamics 365, Salesforce, NetSuite, Oracle, and other legacy systems.

One example is Generator Systems, which selected NetSuite to support its growth but encountered problems with its initial implementation partner. Sikich re-implemented NetSuite OneWorld in under three months. According to the company, the work enabled smoother acquisition management and reduced invoicing time from 17 days to the same day.

ERP Implementations

Sikich has worked as a CRM and ERP implementation partner for more than 30 years, completing hundreds of projects across different industries. Its approach focuses on business performance rather than software deployment alone. The company also states that it will tell prospective clients when a solution is not the right fit and introduce them to another provider when appropriate.

Its implementation services cover platforms including Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, and Salesforce. Sikich's team works with clients to understand their goals and challenges before developing an implementation plan. The company assigns dedicated project resources and provides project management with executive oversight.

Other parts of the process include application integration, custom configurations, testing, security, and change management. These activities help ensure that the software fits the organization's requirements and that users understand the processes they will follow after deployment.

Sikich also places emphasis on managing project scope. Establishing a clear scope and plan helps teams understand what the implementation needs to deliver and how the work will be managed. Employee communication and training form part of the process, helping prepare users for the change.

Through this approach, Sikich supports organizations from initial planning through implementation, with attention to both the technology and the business objectives behind it.

Legacy ERP Migration

Businesses using older ERP systems may reach a point when maintaining their existing software becomes difficult. Sikich helps companies move away from legacy, green-screen, homegrown, and unsupported on-premises systems towards modern cloud-based ERP solutions.

The migration process starts with building a business case for change and selecting a system that fits the way the company operates. Sikich then assists with implementation and the technical work required to move to the new platform. Its services cover data migration, infrastructure, security, system integration, customizations, and ongoing support.

The company also addresses change management during migration. Moving to a new ERP system affects employees as well as technology, so users need to understand the new system and adapt to different processes. Sikich works with clients throughout the solution lifecycle, rather than focusing only on the initial transfer.

Its migration services also address common problems associated with older systems. Extensive customizations can make updates more complicated and increase maintenance costs. Unsupported software may create business risks when technical expertise becomes harder to find or vendor support ends.

Sikich helps organizations assess these issues and plan their move to a modern ERP platform based on their goals and requirements.
