Many firms offer "evaluation and selection" services as well as ERP implementation services that require them to develop formal or informal alliances with specific ERP vendors.   Branae Consulting provides an unbiased third party perspective as the firm is not a vendor or implementer of ERP hardware or software systems and has no financial or contractual connections to such firms.  Branae Consulting has never received compensation from any ERP vendors or their implementation partners.  The firm is truly independent in fact and appearance.
