Inspiriant is a business consulting company dedicated to obtaining results for our customers by providing expertise centered around your business systems. In the past we gained valuable experience selling and implementing software. Now we put that experience to work for you by guiding you through any or all phases of a business system implementation. We do not sell software. We do not implement software. Instead, we can help you do any or all of the following: prepare your business for an implementation, select the correct software and service provider, negotiate with the software and consulting vendors, manage the implementation project for you, and help you get the most out of your software. Business Systems Readiness Assessment This is a review of your business processes to determine the challenges you will face by implementing a new business system. It addresses areas such as staffing levels and experience, inventory accuracy, financial reporting requirements, and more. The goal of the readiness assessment is to prepare your organization for the requirements you will face as you select and implement new software. System Selection With years of experience implementing a variety of systems, we can help you select the system that will best fit your business needs. We do this by making sure that your selection process addresses your key issues in addition to verifying that current processes are not adversely affected by your software selection. We also help you control the selection process. This allows you to make the correct decision quickly and thoroughly and ensures that you are comparing systems appropriately.. Vendor Selection and Negotiation The software you select to run your business is only half of the solution to your problem. You may select the best software for your business, but experience a poor implementation, leaving you with a solution that is less than desirable for your business. As a former software reseller and implementer we understand what it takes to implement a business system correctly. We can help you select the best vendor to implement your software for you. Additionally, we understand the reseller business model and can provide advice on what and how much to negotiate with a vendor resulting in substantial savings. Project Management Because we have years of experience running implementation projects and since business systems are our focus, we are in an excellent position to guide your organization through the system implementation process. We have a deep understanding of how to make sure your implementation stays on track, is done completely, and finishes on time. Post-Implementation System Utilization Assessment and Business Process Improvement After you implement a business system many things can happen: business processes change, staff turns over, new financial or operational reporting requirements arise, new lines of business are started, or the system just is not as efficient as you had hoped. We can help you by reviewing your business processes and determining what changes are needed to either your business process or the software to resolve these issues. With our experience, we can tell you what level of change is required and make sure that the correct changes are made. The appropriate resources can then be called in to make the required changes if necessary.
