They were great and I would highly recommend them. I think their organizational skill and their expertise in the market of the software and dealing with vendors are strong points. They provided great support in the selection process. They have a really good system in place to evaluate the vendors’ systems against our key requirements. This helps shorten the cycle, and we quickly get clear on our requirements and ranking those requirements by importance. They were also great during the implementation in helping us move the project forward. […]

I was happy to have the help, and they were very affordable compared to many of the alternatives in the US, and their background in accounting also comes in handy. They have a smart process, with a comprehensive list of all the different features we need based on business process reviews, and then asking ERP vendors to respond to an RFP. Some did better than others in the rating process, and ultimately it was pretty easy to narrow it down right away using their technique. Basically, it took three months to get it all done. The standout thing – their […]

180 Systems was very helpful. They did a really good job defining system requirements for the RFP. They managed to identify an exhaustive list of requirements and were able to rank and prioritize them well. The documentation was thorough and very helpful in going through the RFP process. […]

I can’t say enough good things about Alex and Michael, they were wonderful to work with. The Business Process Review was probably the most valuable thing for our company – reviewing how all the teams interact with each other. They helped us draft the RFP and vetted the responses so we could narrow down the list of vendors to our top three. Michael was incredible on our actual contract negotiations, guiding us on where we could push back, resulting in savings that essentially paid for the 180 Systems fees. Once we had selected the ERP system, Alex helped us through […]

180 Systems assisted with the selection and implementation of an ERP system. We appreciated their cut-to-the-chase approach, detailed interview technique and getting the essential requirements defined. They provided the process and analysis we needed to help make a selection, and helped us with a very tight deadline in implementing the new system. We worked long and diligently and went live on-time. […]

180 Systems are very knowledgeable, know what they are talking about and able to bring their expertise to marry all the information in a format that everyone could understand. Besides technical knowledge and experience, they also understand the business flows and business issues which generated many conversations on both the technical and business sides which we appreciated the value that they had brought to our business challenges. They were also able to effectively communicate and bring everyone onside. […]

Michael’s very good. Michael definitely provided value and food for thought which is not always the case with consultants. He has a wealth of knowledge in the field, so when he even reaches conclusions that I might not necessarily like, they are still valuable. I grew to respect him enough to know that he can know better than I do. As a person he’s a great guy, very professional, knows his stuff, and listens and understands and thinks. […]

Michael is a great individual and his team was awesome. They were very very thorough in helping us with our selection of an ERP system. I think the one thing that really helped us out is all the stuff that puts most people to sleep didn’t put them to sleep. In reviewing and documenting all of our processes, they were amazing at getting it down to the detail level so they had a thorough understanding of the needs of our system. […]

We were very impressed with Michael, very happy with the work. He was very thorough, and we liked his approach. We had sort of tried to do the process on our own, and came to the conclusion that none of us were real experts, and we could use some help with this. I guess the thing that impressed me most was the thoroughness when it came down to the spreadsheet he was using to track all the various requirements. It was very impressive in terms of covering things we would not necessarily have thought were issues. We were kind of […]

Michael is an expert in the subject matter, he understood our process and was able to adapt to our situation. He was analytical, detailed, did a nice job of herding cats which is a big part of the project. I think he was comprehensive, very systematic. He didn’t ever overlook anything, and had a nice balance of what was important and what was not important to us. He was a good fit for what we needed, a catalyst for the process, making it all happen. He helped keep our energy level up, just pushing us forward in a very professional […]
