Software Readiness Assessment
Evaluate process and people readiness before a new planning system (APS) goes in, so adoption and ROI are protected from day one.
Symptoms we hear
- A planning software purchase is approved but processes are still on spreadsheets
- Leading-practice design is about to collide with legacy habits
- Master data quality is unknown
- Nobody owns the change on the business side
Financial impact
- P&L
- Software ROI realized on schedule
- P&L
- Lower post-go-live rework cost
- Balance sheet
- Faster inventory benefits
Best for: Companies about to buy or implement an APS.
Our approach
Assess
Review current processes, roles, data, and skills against what the new tool assumes.
Gap
Identify process, people, and data gaps that will block adoption.
Plan
Build the readiness plan that runs alongside the implementation.
Deliverables
- Readiness scorecard by process and team
- Process and data gap list with owners
- Change and training plan for end users
- Adoption KPIs to track after go-live
