ERP Implementation FAQ

What is Certinia ERP Cloud?

Certinia ERP Cloud is the #1 cloud-based enterprise resource planning application on the market today. Certinia ERP Cloud is built to run on the Salesforce platform, giving you a 360° view of both front and back office. With ERP Cloud, you can have accounting and finance and professional services automation within one application.

Why would I choose Cloud ERP over an on-premise ERP application?

In today’s competitive, fast-paced business world, organizations need to be agile and efficient to succeed. A cloud ERP can get both front and back office online. Departments can share data and collaborate and employees can take ownership of tasks. On-premise ERPs don’t provide the same flexibility, tend to be single-department silos, and often require customizations that increase implementation time and cost.

How long does it take to implement a Cloud ERP solution?

We’re talking months, not years. Depending on the complexity and needs of your business, the length of implementation varies. Speak with on of our VFP Consulting experts today.!

Does VFP Consulting provide Cloud ERP training?

During the user-acceptance phase of ERP implementation, we train key staff. Trainees will become familiar with workflows and most-used ERP features and tools.

What do ERP implementation services cost?

ERP implementation costs vary greatly because each implementation is unique. A consultation allows us to determine the implementation scope, so we can estimate costs. To receive an ERP implementation estimate, request a consultation with a VFP Consulting expert.
