Enterprise Resource Planning
Improve operations and contain costs.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) breaks down data silos between supply chain, finance, and human resources, and ERP analytics enable decision makers to cut costs without sacrificing quality patient care. HealthNET can help you take advantage of ERP solutions such as Infor®, Oracle®, Workday®, SAP®, and others. We work with the vendors and your in-house team – users and IT – to maximize the benefits through strategy, RFP/selection, implementation, and optimization.
Strategy
We assess your current systems and usages and then understand the goals and needs of your company. We evaluate your organization’s readiness to implement “new generation” ERPs and their included elements:
- Chart of Accounts (COA) structure to streamline reporting and BI/analytics
- Integrated databases
- Automated workflows
- Customer service
- Contract management
- Self-service ordering (akin to Amazon)
RFP/Selection
We work with your team to tease out fundamental characteristics of the ERP products and tailor it to your specific needs.
- Considering how the design and database of each ERP can support managers in decision making
- HealthNET will assist with RFP development, vendor screening, demonstrations, due diligence, solution ranking, and contract negotiations
