What Clients Say About Wayferry
ERP selection is a consequential business decision. Here is what clients have said about defining their requirements, involving their teams, and evaluating software with Wayferry.
Uncover requirements you might otherwise miss
“Wayferry were thorough and their libraries contained many ERP requirements we didn’t know we needed. I liked that they were impartial and didn’t play favorites with vendors. Wayferry has a sound process, the team communicated well, and they were a pleasure to work with.”
Save months of selection work
“The selection of the ERP software was overwhelming and using Wayferry saved months of work. Your approach was spot on, especially with categorizing the requirements and identifying the showstoppers. You really helped us identify our key objectives and ensure they were met. We totally enjoyed the process.”
Bring the team into the decision
“ERP selection is daunting, but Wayferry made it painless and straightforward when they identified all our requirements. By including our entire team in the process, they created buy-in from everybody. Their communication was first-class, and we strongly recommend Wayferry for your ERP software selection.”
A private equity procurement perspective
Virgil Colby has served as Vice President of Group Procurement at Onex Corporation. His endorsement reflects his experience with the risks of major enterprise software decisions and the value of a requirements-driven evaluation. He speaks in his own capacity.
“As a project manager and a financial systems expert who has designed and implemented ERPs worldwide, I saw implementations struggle when functional requirements were not documented or prioritized, and sub-optimal solutions were purchased. In addition, companies make the mistake of selecting ERP familiar to leadership teams from prior roles. For complex enterprise-wide software solutions that will be ingrained in the business for years post-implementation, Wayferry solves these challenges by:
• Listing and prioritizing functional business requirements.
• Identifying solutions that match functional business requirements.
• Scoring selected solutions for their functional alignment.
• Guiding leadership teams to fact-based and informed enterprise software decisions.
Engaging Wayferry to support your enterprise software decisions is an excellent way to mitigate financial, project, and operational risks common to large enterprise implementations.”
Focus on what makes your business different
“Chris and his team were able to quickly understand the nuances of our business model, help us define our business requirements, and focus on those that were differentiators between our primary selections. Throughout the process, Chris and his team remained engaged and responsive until the very end.”
Make a thorough decision manageable
“I wish we had worked with Wayferry on our previous ERP selection. Their approach and process really made the evaluation and selection of our new ERP solution thorough, efficient and ultimately successful.”
Give the evaluation structure
“Selecting software was a collaborative exercise that forced people to think through their needs. It would have been a challenge without Wayferry’s structure, and that was a big win for us.”
Apply the same discipline beyond ERP
“Wayferry helped Profil find the best software for a critical business need, and results wildly exceeded expectations.”
