Advice from Hamilton Company: Top Tips for Choosing an ERP Partner

Hamilton Company needed to find a technology partner to help implement Microsoft Dynamics 365, and talked to several firms. A technology services company picked initially turned out to be not the right match, because the ERP initiative progressed too slowly and the organization was not familiar with Hamilton’s business. Alex Ingram, IT Director at Hamilton says, “Sikich came highly recommended, and we were intrigued by their ERP recovery services, which turn around struggling projects to be successful.”

In this technology transformation project, Sikich used its HeadSTART for Equipment Manufacturing methodology, which streamlines complex software projects with an arsenal of standardized processes based on industry-best practices. As Ingram describes, “The Sikich HeadSTART approach provided a preconfigured solution that allowed us to move forward much more quickly than we had been. About 90 days in, we were ready for our first conference room pilot using HeadSTART. People were saying, ‘We could go live with this.’”
