Enterprise Resource Planning with Summit Advisory Team

Partnering with clients to help select, implement, and manage the right ERP software for your organization

Our Enterprise Resource Planning Practice is focused on the technology that enables business processes including product selection, architecting a software implementation, managing an existing implementation, and solving production system issues.

We help our clients choose a path forward with ERP and/or core system solutions specifically targeted to their business requirements in the following ways:

We focus on understanding their needs fully so we can make the best recommendations for their organization.

We help clients understand how the software will fit into their growth goals.

We make sure they have the program management and governance they need to be successful in their organizational culture.

Meet our ERP Practice Lead - Nancy Seaboldt

Over the course of Nancy’s career, she has sat in the role of the client, managed disparate teams, and completed multiple implementations. That cumulative experience gives her the perspective to understand our clients’ culture and help them articulate what they need.

She fully understands the array of functionality these systems provide, and that puts her in a position to bring a rational, no-nonsense, targeted approach to accomplish the goals the customer is looking for.
