Software Package Selection including ERP Selection

Maxiom Group assists life science companies in selecting appropriate business information systems to support their business - a critical decision for any company. We support our clients by providing the experience, resources, and knowledge of viable solutions to help our clients define the business criteria that should drive the selection decision and evaluate the available options. Our approach ensures that the selection process is free from bias and that the selection decision rests entirely with our client.

Maxiom Group's proven methodology helps clients validate how they want to (and should) operate their business processes and identify the best "fit" with their desired requirements. We help clients consider a wide range of possible solutions, but quickly narrow the list to the most appropriate solution. We identify specifically why clients should or should not select a particular package and engage with the software vendor to initiate a mutually beneficial relationship. Furthermore, we establish a solid framework for implementation and mutual expectations for implementation.

Our software package selection methodology has been extensively applied in application areas such as: MRP/ERP, Document Management, Supply Chain Management, Quality Management/CAPA, and other mission critical areas within life science companies. The benefits of Maxiom Group's package selection process include:

  • Creating enthusiasm and momentum within the organization
  • Developing a clearer understanding of the business process needs and underlying technology support
  • Establishing a successful relationship with the vendor from the start
  • Ensuring a smoother transition into and probability of a successful implementation

All of which result in improved productivity and business performance.

An emerging biotechnology company engaged Maxiom Group to assist them with the selection of a Quality Management System (QMS) to support the establishment of corrective and preventive action (CAPA), deviations, investigations and other quality assurance processes to support its transformation to a commercial company.

Using our proven methodologies and tools, Maxiom Group assisted in developing a short list of vendors, determining driving user requirements, and developing selection criteria that would clearly differentiate between the solutions under consideration. We also facilitated the vendor RFI/RFP and scripted demonstration sessions and assisted the client team in the evaluation of the systems. Ultimately, the client selected and implemented an appropriate system for its business, resulting in a more effective set of quality processes to support a commercial operation.
