The current ERP is costly, fragile, poorly understood, or dependent on one person or vendor
Core systems and transformation
Protect the operation while changing the system beneath it.
05
ERP and core business-system decisions combine process, data, integration, people, vendors, and organizational change. We give executives independent leadership from current-state stabilization through selection, implementation, and value realization.
Discuss this priority ↗When this engagement fits
Designed for moments that need more than incremental improvement.
Reporting and integration gaps are limiting operational visibility
Leadership is considering replacement but requirements, economics, and readiness are unclear
An implementation needs stronger governance between executives, operators, IT, and the system integrator
What we do
From executive context
to controlled execution.
We combine leadership, architecture, operating experience, and direct communication throughout the engagement.
Understand the operating model
Map the processes, decisions, data, exceptions, integrations, controls, and pain points that the system must support.
Frame the options
Compare stabilization, optimization, augmentation, and replacement using business value, risk, cost, and readiness.
Govern the transformation
Establish executive sponsorship, decision rights, scope control, requirements, vendor accountability, testing, data, and adoption.
What you receive
Concrete work products.
Decision-ready detail.
Kenna can lead an independent ERP assessment or selection, act as executive program leadership, or provide targeted assurance at critical design, readiness, and cutover points.
Current-state and dependency assessment
Process pain points, platform constraints, integrations, data, reporting, support concentration, and operating risk.
Business requirements
Prioritized capabilities and scenarios written for meaningful platform and implementation-partner evaluation.
Options and business case
Stabilize, enhance, or replace—with cost, risk, timing, organizational impact, and decision criteria.
Vendor evaluation
Structured demonstrations, scoring, references, commercial review, implementation assumptions, and risk comparison.
Program governance
Executive steering, workstream ownership, decision rights, scope, risk, issue, and change control.
Implementation assurance
Independent review of readiness, design, data, integration, testing, cutover, adoption, and value realization.
Relevant experience
Enterprise manufacturing and distributionConnecting data, warehouse operations, and enterprise integration
Led data-platform and WMS reporting work that translated operating requirements across systems and supported more reliable visibility during a broader enterprise integration.
The intended outcome
Leadership can make the platform decision with evidence, protect critical operations during change, and hold both internal teams and external partners accountable for business—not merely technical—results.
