Strategic ERP & Cloud Consultations
Our consultations are designed to help you evaluate options, understand risks, and plan next steps—whether you're ready to act or just gathering information.
What an ICS Consultation Is (and Isn't)
What It Is
- A guided conversation about your business and systems
- A review of your current state and challenges
- An opportunity to ask real questions without judgment
- Practical insight based on 30+ years of experience
- A safe space to explore options before committing
What It Isn't
- A sales pitch or forced demo
- A commitment to change or buy anything
- A one-size-fits-all recommendation
- A generic presentation about software features
- An obligation to work with ICS afterward
What We Help You With
Every consultation is different, but here are the most common topics we help businesses think through:
Evaluating ERP Options
Understanding the differences between Acumatica, Dynamics GP, and Business Central—and which makes sense for your business model.
Planning a GP Upgrade or Cloud Transition
Deciding whether to upgrade Dynamics GP, move it to the cloud, or plan a migration to a modern platform.
Reviewing ERP Performance or Limitations
Identifying bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or gaps in your current system that are holding your business back.
Understanding Cloud Readiness
Assessing whether your infrastructure, processes, and team are prepared for a cloud transition.
Assessing Reporting & Automation
Evaluating your current reporting capabilities and identifying opportunities for automation and better insights.
Identifying Risks and Inefficiencies
Spotting security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, or operational inefficiencies before they become problems.
Our Consultation Approach
We don't start with software recommendations. We start by understanding your business, your challenges, and your goals. Then we help you think through your options.
Listen First
We take time to understand your goals, concerns, and what brought you here.
Assess Context
We review your systems, processes, and constraints to understand what's realistic and what's possible.
Clarify Options
We explain what paths exist, what each would involve, and what the trade-offs are.
Outline Next Steps
We provide clear, actionable recommendations—with or without ICS involvement.
Who Consultations Are Best For
Our consultations are designed for businesses that are thinking seriously about their ERP and infrastructure—but aren't necessarily ready to commit to a change.
Businesses Unsure if It's Time to Upgrade or Migrate
You're not certain whether your current system is limiting you, or if the timing is right to make a change.
Teams Feeling Constrained by Their Current ERP
Your system works, but it's slow, inflexible, or requires too many workarounds to get things done.
Organizations Planning Growth, Acquisition, or Change
You're expanding into new markets, adding locations, or preparing for significant operational shifts.
Leaders Who Want Insight Before Making Decisions
You need expert perspective to help you evaluate options and avoid costly mistakes.
What You'll Walk Away With
Our consultations aren't about selling you software—they're about giving you the clarity and confidence to make informed decisions.
Clear Understanding of Your Current Situation
An honest assessment of where your systems stand—strengths, limitations, and risks.
Practical Recommendations (Not Jargon)
Advice in plain language about what makes sense for your business—without technical overwhelm.
Awareness of Risks and Opportunities
Insight into what could go wrong if you wait—and what's possible if you act strategically.
Confidence in Next Steps
A clear path forward, whether that's immediate action, further planning, or simply staying informed.
How Consultations Fit Into ICS Services
Consultations often lead to implementation, optimization, or support—but they don't have to. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, regardless of where that leads.
