What organisations say after working through an ERP question with Padu Consult

"We had been running our Oracle EBS instance since 2007 and the finance team had worked around its limitations for so long that nobody questioned them anymore. Ahmad Hazwan's health review found four specific areas where the customisations we had accumulated were causing month-end delays. The written note was clear enough that I could put it in front of the board without editing."

"After two inconclusive internal studies on whether to move to SAP S/4HANA, we needed an outside view not coming from SAP's partner network. The modernisation paper was the most useful document produced during the whole exercise. Three scenarios, each with risks and costs laid out. We chose the middle path and it held up under audit committee scrutiny."

"The ERP Selection Workshop was the first structured process we had run for a software procurement. Tan Wei Liang pushed us on requirements we had been vague about and the handbook we left with was used almost verbatim in our RFP. The workshop itself was dense — two days is a lot of work — but we were better prepared for vendor presentations than expected."

"I had expected the health conversation to recommend a replacement. It didn't. Raveena spent real time with the finance team and concluded that the data quality issues we were experiencing were process problems, not system limitations. That finding saved us from embarking on a migration that would not have fixed the underlying problem."

"The modernisation advisory took about six weeks. The scoping call was accurate — the engagement ran to the agreed scope and the fee was what we had been told. The scenarios in the paper were realistic. We had hoped for a clearer single recommendation rather than three options, and said so — Ahmad acknowledged that was fair feedback."

"We used the selection workshop after our procurement policy required a documented evaluation process. The selection handbook became part of our formal procurement file. Three vendors were evaluated against the framework we built in the workshop. The process was defensible and the outcome was one we could explain clearly to our board."
