This is a unique service offer as there is always a big gap of understanding scope and room for automatic business processes between an implementing consultant and user of an ERP as part of current state and would be a future state after the implementation. An ERP consultant always looks for vanilla implementation i.e. to set up the ERP based on your existing process flows. Automating a business process requires an in depth scrutiny and assessment of each and every activity that an entity is undertaking through various departments, an ERP consultant cannot afford to spend that much time and they also lack expertise in appreciating the business process with view for automation. On the other hand, entity's potential users are restricted to their own areas and lacks vision for automation
A Consultant such as us can come in between your implementing Consultant and your potential Users to help unearth all the manual activities that companies is undertaking map them and link them with various activities and come up with a solution in the form of a requirement that the ERP Consultant should address as part of implementation. Most of such automating initiatives might not abe available in the selected ERP in its preset form thorough minor development those can be taken care of and achieved. This activity can provide a succint process flow in your implemented ERP environment.
The risk of not doing this assessment for potential automation can leave you in the same state where you were before the implementation that is most of the activities remained manual thus indulging entity's human resource into non value adding time wasting activities which can affect efficiency and takes away the gloss of having an ERP and losing an opportunity of taking the entity into highly integrated, automated and paper-less environement
Ideally, this activity should be carried out before selecting an ERP so that evaluation of ERP before the selection can be made in the light of envisaged business process that has a greater element of automating various entity's manual activities
