SPECIALIST PRACTICE

Neptune is engaged when the problem crosses the boundaries between ERP configuration, database behavior, accounting, reporting, integrations, and manufacturing operations.

Typical triggers

When this practice becomes relevant.

01

ERP, IT, finance, and operations decisions are being made in separate silos.

02

The business has multiple vendors but nobody owns the overall architecture.

03

A modernization or automation roadmap needs practical prioritization.

04

The company needs senior technology judgment without another full-time executive.

Capabilities

Senior expertise, scoped to the problem.

01

ERP & systems roadmap

Prioritize platform, integration, reporting, database, and automation work around business outcomes rather than technology novelty.

02

Vendor & solution evaluation

Evaluate proposals, products, and implementation approaches from the customer side of the table.

03

Architecture oversight

Keep ERP, database, identity, integration, reporting, and operational systems moving toward a coherent target state.

04

AI & automation planning

Identify workflows where governed AI or automation can add capacity, then define the controls needed to implement responsibly.

05

Project oversight

Provide senior technical representation in projects involving ECI, IT providers, software vendors, and internal stakeholders.

06

Ongoing advisory

A recurring fractional engagement for companies that need continuity, prioritization, and an experienced external technical owner.

Expected outcome

Better technology decisions, fewer disconnected projects, and a roadmap tied to operational and financial priorities.
