IT System Selection
Selecting the most relevant Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, or other critical technology platforms for your organization is a complex and crucial endeavor.
Given that typical IT systems are implemented for 10 years, choosing a wrong product could not only cost you time and money, but it could also jeopardize your business strategy.
​
Without the internal expertise to navigate the complex product landscape, partnering with a technology advisor becomes essential.
At Kitameraki, we have developed a unique framework that has successfully guided numerous organizations in selecting the best-fit systems based on their specific requirements and budget constraints.

We are a Vendor-Neutral Consulting Company
The value of our software selection service lies in our independent research, without obligation to any specific system.
​
Unlike many IT integrators in the area, we are technology agnostic. This means we are not here to sell a specific product; instead, we focus on finding the solution that best aligns with your company’s needs, industry standards, and budget requirements.
Kitameraki System Selection Framework
Step 1: As-Is and Requirements Consolidation
In the first step of our System Selection Framework, we focus on understanding the current state of your organization's systems and processes. The goal is to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement.
We also gather and consolidate all requirements for the new system through workshops, surveys, and questionnaires, engaging stakeholders from all relevant departments.
​
This comprehensive approach ensures a solid foundation for listing all requirements that effectively address your organization’s needs.
Step 2: Market Research and Short Listing
In this step, we conduct thorough market research to identify potential Systems that meet your organization’s specific requirements. This involves analyzing industry trends, compiling a list of potential vendors, and evaluating the competitive landscape.
​
We then perform an initial vendor screening by establishing preliminary criteria based on your needs. We contact potential vendors and gather preliminary information. The responses are compiled into a Vendor Information Matrix, helping us narrow down the list to those that best fit your requirements.
This step ends with a shortlist of Systems suitable for further engagement.
Step 3: System Selection and Final Recommendation
We craft a comprehensive Request for Information (RFI) and distribute it to the shortlisted vendors to initiate engagement. Subsequently, we arrange demonstrations and conduct thorough assessments based on your critical requirements.
This meticulous process has positioned us to provide a well-informed final recommendation, which not only considers the system features and budget but also other often overlooked key criteria crucial for long-term success.
​
By following this proven and successful methodology, your decision-making process will be natural and intuitive, ensuring that the chosen solution aligns seamlessly with your organization's needs and sets the stage for sustained success.
