ERP Advisors Group helped match the culture and vibe of our company. One of our questions going into this was, “Can we find a partner that only works with an organization of our size?” because we don’t fit into a standard mold in terms of the way we operate. EAG really understood that. We just clicked and EAG worked well with us through that process.
We spent nearly two years knowing we wanted an ERP software upgrade but wondering how to start and be certain we were going in the right direction. Asking the right questions and having EAG’s experience was helpful. Otherwise, we were going to be winging it on our own.
The biggest goal for our new software is to expand our capabilities. We have bits and pieces of software that perform different functions. Unfortunately, every time we have a new goal or a new capability we want to build out, we have to take six steps backward and are left wondering what the root cause of the problem was. Finding a platform of integrated data and systems will help us expand the company’s capabilities and prevent us from continually reinventing the wheel.
Right out of the gate, I felt like EAG matched us very well in vibe, approach, and understanding of what we were trying to accomplish, and they were an easy-to-work-with, collaborative partner. We feel good about where we are going and are really excited to get into the nuts and bolts of this project with EAG
We started working with ERP Advisors Group because our legacy system prevented us from pursuing future transformation possibilities. We hoped a new ERP would provide a solid foundation for scalability and efficiency while allowing us to build additional capabilities over time.
EAG’s initial Needs Analysis helped us organize our requirements for the new system. Although we came prepared with observations and ideas, we couldn’t convert them into an opportunity statement. EAG translated our feedback into the right language so that software vendors could understand our goals, and they carried the load of sorting through the initial list of solutions.
Once we entered the software demonstration process, there was a nice balance between the time spent and the depth of information we explored. EAG did a great job connecting us with promising avenues we would not have found otherwise. Our implementation partner was not on our radar before, but they were a great cultural fit and we were excited to work with them.
We were also very pleased with the contract negotiation process and the level of support that EAG provided. We lacked the context of what was reasonable in the broader ERP industry, and they brought attention to important details to ensure we received fair terms and conditions. ERP Advisors Group’s breadth of experience was super valuable, and I would recommend them to my colleagues.

ERP Advisors Group was founded by Shawn Windle in 2010. He helped develop the technology practice at the largest accounting firm in Denver from 2004 - 2010 by offering Needs Analysis and Selection projects. But Shawn saw that clients were struggling during their implementations, even though they selected the right software. The firm’s partners were too averse to the risk of losing tax and audit business from a risky implementation. Thus, ERP Advisors Group was born with the purpose to provide Client-Side Implementation Services.
We take responsibility for the decisions we help our clients make during the Selection phase by staying on for their implementation, ensuring they go live with their new software.
