ERP selection and evaluation

As a reference, the CIRA method's Identify phase typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, from the strategic kickoff through contracting support.

We evaluate your current platform against the same six objective criteria, even if changing vendors isn't on the table — sometimes the answer is to optimize, not replace.

Cost depends on scope and organization size, not on a list price. What stays constant is the ratio: selection advisory costs a fraction of the ERP license plus implementation, and its job is to keep that far larger investment from landing on the wrong platform. It is defined with you before starting, with fixed scope and deliverables.

We evaluate against six objective criteria, defined before looking at any brand: functional fit to your real processes, technical viability on your current infrastructure, five-year total cost of ownership (not just the license), vendor strength and experience in your industry, your team's capacity to adopt it, and the long-term sustainability of the product and its roadmap.

Because a vendor has one product to sell and their evaluation will always end at that product. Cyrrus holds no commercial alliances or commissions with any ERP manufacturer: the criteria come from your operation, not from a catalog, and the outcome may well be that the best decision is not to change platforms at all.

Yes. We work with organizations across Colombia and the rest of LATAM, using the same six-criteria evaluation process and no commercial alliances that would bias the recommendation toward a particular local or regional vendor.

Those are two separate phases of the CIRA Method. If needed, we also act as an external PMO during the implementation of the recommended ERP, with the same real accountability for the outcome that we apply during selection.
