Access Engineering is pioneering ‘Pre-ERP’ in Sri Lanka – a solution research and developed by MTI Technology (www.mtitechnology.com). At a time when companies are spending very high sums on ERP solutions, the Pre- ERP study helps business clearly assess what business outcomes they want from their IT systems and what is critical to a business-process-systems fit.
 
MTI’s Pre-ERP audit serves to provide an independent assessment of the business’ readiness, looking at areas Business/IT Management Interface, Information Management and Policies, Application Management and Data, Compliances and Business Continuity Management. This provides a critical perspective of the gap between business outcome objectives and organizational readiness and transition ability.
