HandsFree ERP Uses GYDE365-Discover to Revolutionize ERP Requirements Gathering

In today’s fast-paced business environment, selecting the right ERP system is crucial for success. HandsFree ERP leverages the GYDE365-Discover platform to analyze business requirements for companies contemplating an ERP move.

Why GYDE365-Discover Stands Out


Unlike traditional, tired, and bloated requirements-gathering methodologies, GYDE365-Discover offers a streamlined and efficient approach. Here’s how we use it uniquely for our clients:
Functional vs. Process Views
In GYDE365-Discover, business requirements can be presented for analysis in two ways:
  • Functional View: This approach appeals to legacy SMB users by grouping requirements similarly to how they are used to looking at their ERP through modules such as General Ledger, Accounts Payables, and so on.
  • Process View: Enterprise ERP users are more likely to consider their business requirements from a business process perspective, such as Order-to-Cash.

The ability to gather critical business requirements in these two ways ensures that any company can be comfortable regardless of their current ERP experience.

Unique Value for SMB Customers


We have had several Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains) customers use the GYDE365-Discover platform to quickly and efficiently gather their business requirements using the Functional or “Module” view order. Once they have completed their requirements survey, we switch to the business process view and review the requirements with the customer through this lens. In our experience, this different view provides a new perspective on requirements, significantly enhancing our customers’ understanding of their needs and how they impact their ERP projects.

Conclusion


The GYDE365-Discover platform offers a unique and efficient way to gather ERP requirements, ensuring that companies can be comfortable regardless of their current ERP experience. If you’re considering an ERP move, contact us for a demo or consultation to see how GYDE365-Discover can benefit your business.
