Enterprise Systems

Profitability in a highly regulated industry requires efficient and effective processes and enterprise systems to deliver automation, required reporting, and a single source of auditable truth for company data.  As corporations grow and adapt to changing market conditions and technology evolves, enterprise systems must be upgraded, updated, or replaced.  Major changes like this to foundational enterprise systems is a significant investment requiring high-level leadership support due torisk potential of cost overruns, noncompliance, and inoperative business function.  Companies go through these major changes only once every decade or two, and thus have few employees with critical experience, knowledge of best practices and lessons learned, or knowhow to drive successful execution.

Capital Edge’s team completes multiple enterprise system upgrades and implementations each year, collecting and applying best practices and lessons learned.  We assess current state systems and processes, provide insights on system requirements or architecture, and assist with the procurement process for both the system and the implementer, with no financial incentives toward any particular system or implementer, allowing us to identify the best solutions for your business. We provide leadership throughout the planning, implementation, and stabilization phases of the new system with a focus on delivering a seamless transition.

Our experienced team is comprised of former leaders from highly regulated industries with unmatched skills in enterprise system transformations.  Capital Edge’s approach focuses on the pillars of successful enterprise system outcomes: process improvement, data conversion and validation, change management, and reporting; all of which lead to enhanced return on investment and mitigation of implementation risk.
