Choosing an ERP: processes first, system second

Anyone looking for an ERP system often compares feature lists before it is clear what their own processes look like. With us the plan comes before the tool: we map your processes and describe how they should run in future. That is the yardstick against which you measure every system you look at.

Who it is for

For companies facing a system decision.

This topic suits owners and managing directors of small companies in Dubai who want to replace spreadsheets and single-purpose programs but do not know where to begin — or who are about to change their system.

01

Your processes as the yardstick

A system has to carry what happens in your company every day: enquiry, quote, purchasing, stock, invoice. We put that in writing so that you measure systems against your processes, not against brochures.

02

The people who work with it

A system only helps if the team works with it. That is why training belongs to the rollout: processes and systems only change when the people who carry them come along.

03

Data and access

Ask every provider where your data is stored, who can see it and how you get it out again. With a pilot in iSAP.ONE you receive the answer on location and access in writing before it starts.

04

Your accountant

Which reports and receipts your accountant needs, you clarify with them. They receive the plan and, in a pilot, access if you wish; tax, VAT and legal questions stay with them.

Process

Clearly agreed.
Put in writing.

Before every step you know what happens, what it costs and who is responsible.

01First conversation

We clarify your situation, your goal and the timeframe — in person in Dubai or by video. Afterwards you know whether mapping your processes is the right place to start.

02Scope and proposal

You receive in writing what will be delivered, what is out of scope and what it costs — before you decide.

03Mapping the processes

We map your processes from enquiry through quote, purchasing and stock to invoice. On request there is a confidentiality agreement first.

04Describing target processes

We describe how the processes should run in future. AI tools prepare and draft. AI drafts. A person checks. You decide.

05Choice or pilot

With the yardstick in hand you decide which system to look at. If you wish, we set your processes up in iSAP.ONE, as a pilot alongside your current system.

Limits

What this page does not do.

This page does not compare providers and does not recommend a system; which system fits depends on your processes. iSAP.ONE is available as a pilot alongside your current system, not as a replacement. Tax, VAT and legal questions stay with your accountant.

Common questions

Good to know.

Which ERP is right for us?

That depends on your processes, which is why we start there. We do not recommend a provider here.

Does it have to be iSAP.ONE?

No. iSAP.ONE is available on request as a pilot, alongside your current system. Mapping and describing your processes is a separate step before it.

How do I know an ERP is worth considering?

One sign is that the same details are entered several times in the inbox, spreadsheets and invoicing program. Whether an ERP is the answer shows when your processes have been mapped.

Can I try a system without switching off the old one?

With iSAP.ONE, yes: the pilot runs alongside your current system.

What does it cost?

We clarify that in the first conversation. Before we start, you receive a written proposal with scope and costs.
