The gap between business needs and standard ERP functions, measured at scoping time.
60–70 %less time per fit-gap analysis
Result reported by the client on this engagement.
Context
An integrator faced time-consuming fit-gap analyses when comparing client requirements with the platform's standard functionality. Manual comparison slowed project scoping and increased the risk of missing customisation needs.
Approach
- 01Automatic matching of requirements against the standard functional baseline.
- 02Fast identification of gaps requiring specific development or configuration.
- 03AI-assisted reports detailing coverage, gaps and recommended solutions.
- 04Build-up of a knowledge base of recurring customisations.
Outcomes
- Fit-gap analysis time reduced by 60 to 70 % per project.
- Earlier and more accurate identification of customisation scope and effort.
- More reliable scoping and better-managed client expectations.
- Team refocused on solution design.
