Stage 1 of 5

Platform Selection Advisory

You know change is coming. The question is where.

Recognition Pattern

You're here if…

  • Your organization has acknowledged that JDE will not be the long-term platform
  • Vendor pitches are coming in from SAP, Oracle, and NetSuite — each claiming to be the obvious choice
  • You need a neutral assessment before committing millions to a platform decision
  • Internal stakeholders disagree on direction and you need an independent framework

Risk Assessment

What's at risk

Platform selection is one of the highest-cost decisions an IT organization makes — and it almost always happens before anyone has honestly mapped the company's actual business complexity against each platform's real capabilities. Vendor demos show best-case scenarios. RFP responses are optimized for the sale, not the fit.

The risk isn't choosing the wrong platform. It's choosing without a neutral assessment that accounts for integration complexity, operational maturity, data migration scope, and the actual capacity of the team that will live with the decision for the next decade.

Most advisory firms at this stage have referral relationships with one or more vendors. Their neutrality has a ceiling.

The industry implementation failure rate is 75%. The primary differentiator in successful programs isn't the platform or the SI — it's the level of client-side involvement. Selection advisory that accounts for your team's operational capacity, not just the platform's feature set, is what separates a realistic plan from a slide deck.

Deliverables

What Allari does

Business complexity mapping

How your actual operations, integrations, and workflows map to each candidate platform's native capabilities

Platform fit analysis

SAP S/4HANA vs. Oracle Fusion vs. NetSuite evaluated against your specific environment, not generic feature matrices

Total cost of ownership modeling

Including migration cost, dual-run period, post-go-live stabilization, and long-term operations. Not just the license and implementation.

SI landscape assessment

Which implementation partners have actual experience in your industry, at your scale, on the platform you're considering

RFP development support

Structured RFP that forces vendors to answer the questions that matter, not the ones they want to answer

Decision framework delivery

A written recommendation the client owns, with the data behind it

Engagement Structure

How it works

Duration

4–8 weeks

Deliverable

Written platform recommendation with supporting analysis

Independence

No referral incentives. No vendor partnerships that bias the recommendation.

Fee structure

Allari earns nothing from which platform you choose. The advisory fee is the only fee.

Field Evidence

Proof

Allari has operated inside JDE environments for 27 years. That depth of JDE knowledge is what makes the "what are you leaving behind" assessment credible — most advisory firms evaluate the destination without understanding the origin.
