When preparing to implement an ERP solution, the demo can be a key step in ensuring that your solution does everything you expect and then some. Your Acumatica live demo can provide you with insights into how Acumatica will integrate with current workflows and processes and how the software can take the same to a new level.
In preparing for your demo, you will want to do your due diligence to ensure that you get the most of the process, however. Here are some steps you can take to make the most out of your Acumatica live demo.
Engage an Array of Stakeholders and Employees in the Process
In structuring the demo, you want to enlist a wide range of individuals at your company to take part. They will help inform the where and how of the demo. With their help, consider:
- The ERP solution will most impact what pivotal workflows?
- Where are the existing deficits that ERP can improve?
By engaging in a constructive collaborative process with these individuals, you can help structure a game plan for demo day that gives you the most data on how Acumatica will perform. Don’t forget — an ERP solution as comprehensive as Acumatica should touch every department at your company. Make sure that you have at least one representative from all departments so that you can get that “eagle’s eye” view of what your new ERP solution could do.
Do a Complete Demo
When you are vetting various ERP solutions, your schedule can fill up quickly with demos. But you want to be sure each demo shows you how the system will work for each department. How will employees in each area use the software? What processes will they need to follow daily? How do the new processes compare with existing ones? Make sure your Acumatica live demo answers these questions for all departments that will use the system, not just a select few.
Work in Partnership with Your ERP Consultant
The right ERP consultant will work with you every step of the way to ensure that demo day gives you the most valuable insights into your new ERP investment. They will walk through all the questions and pain points you and your team identified during due diligence. They can also provide guidance as to timeline, costs and scope to help ensure you get the right solution for your business at this moment.
