Getting the most out of your ERP system

Your ERP system has the potential to transform how your organisation works, but only if you continue to embed, optimise and innovate beyond go-live.

At Civiteq, we can help you get the full value from your ERP system by supporting you to;

  • Stabilise your system: for a strong foundation
  • Optimise processes: to drive efficiency and productivity
  • Innovate with tools like in-built AI: to streamline ways of working

Stabilise

Our services in this stage will:

Ensure your ERP is steady post‑go‑live, creating a solid base for benefits and continuous improvement.

Embed the support operating model and ‘adopt not adapt’ decision‑making, establish clear communication, track KPIs and intervene proactively.

Complete configuration, remove workarounds, automate processes, and enforce controls.

Ensure segregation and security, optimise licence usage, and deliver reliable, accurate data for management information, reporting, governance, audit readiness, and long‑term resilience.

Optimise

In this stage, our services will:

Review benefits across functions, close gaps and enhance outcomes to unlock more value.

Implement previously de-scoped features, tackle pain points, and run process health checks to streamline and automate.

Assess adoption, address gaps, and increase usage.

Identify productivity opportunities and deliver improvements that drive organisational efficiency and stronger performance – extending planned benefits and ensuring sustainable, measurable gains across the business overall.

Innovate

Our services in this stage will help you move beyond optimisation to strategic, continuous improvement, to;

Explore the art of the possible, set ambition, and build a roadmap aligned to strategy for system updates with milestones.

Identify process enhancements to drive value, productivity and efficiency, develop credible business cases, and make horizon scanning BAU – embedding continuous improvement in the Support Operating Model and a cycle for release roadmaps, impact assessment, testing and safe implementation.

What do our customers think?

“Success depends on having the right people you can work with, and that's certainly what we experienced with Civiteq.”

 

Jon Shepherd, Chief Officer (Business Solutions)

“I would absolutely recommend Civiteq to other councils. We always knew where we were in terms of the programme’s progress against milestones. The relationships and the frequency of communication worked well, and the contract relationships between the various parties were well managed. Plus, we had the right decision-making at the right levels, which was absolutely critical.”

Alex Thompson, Executive Director of Finance & Transformation, Sandwell Council

“I’ve worked with many suppliers, and this was one of the best supplier engagements I’ve had. That’s because of the positive working relationships, the calibre of people from Civiteq and their expertise and experience of ERP programmes in local government. They ask the difficult questions and hold us to account.” 

James Ailward, Chief Technology Officer, Dorset Council
