About the ERP selection advisory category
Selection advisors and analysts differ fundamentally from implementation partners: they work vendor-neutrally and without licence or implementation commission. Their fee is paid directly by the selecting company, which removes conflicts of interest. Typical tasks include requirements workshops with the business units, a requirements specification at function and process level, market research, structured vendor demos and a final recommendation with pros and cons per vendor.
Anyone making a six- or seven-figure investment seeks an independent second opinion — this is as true in the ERP market as it is in real estate or M&A. Selection advisory typically costs a fraction of the overall budget, but can make the difference between a productive ERP project and a struggling one.
Profile & focus
Lünendonk & Hossenfelder of Mindelheim has specialised since 1983 in systematic market and company analysis for B2B service markets — by its own account the only market-research firm in the German-speaking region focused exclusively on B2B services.
Lünendonk is best known for the "Lünendonk lists", which rank leading IT-consulting and IT-service firms, among others. For ERP buyers, Lünendonk provides less a project-specific selection engagement than market transparency, studies and benchmarks for assessing vendors and service providers.
