Lumenia’s ERP selection process provided us with an excellent framework for assessing how well the various solutions on the market met our requirements. We had some strategic decisions to make as part of the process, and we were able to evaluate the pros, cons and cost implications of each alternative. The project was very successful in terms of involving the business across all functions, and created a strong sense of buy-in to the process and the final decision. Lumenia also assisted with reference site visits and contract negotiation, providing helpful and practical advice.
Robbie Grogan, Group Finance Director
Lumenia provided us with invaluable assistance during our ERP implementation project, performing key roles on our project team. It was a great asset to our business to be able to draw on such reliable and experienced resources, and I'd highly recommend Lumenia to anyone looking for assistance with business systems projects.
Brídín Quinn, Business Excellence Manager
Our ERP upgrade project was one of the major projects undertaken by the business last year, and as it was a number of years since the initial implementation we needed someone with the right skills and experience to guide us through the planning and execution of the project. We’ve worked with Lumenia over the years on many projects, so we were happy to engage them again. Lumenia advised us initially on setting up the project, putting a plan in place and negotiating with the vendor. Lumenia then provided an advisory and mentoring role for our implementation project team, giving us structure and guidance along the way as well as helping us foresee issues and manage potential risks. The project was very successful, being delivered on-time and on-budget, and the knowledge and experience gained by the project team will help us greatly with future ERP projects. I've no hesitation in recommending that anyone needing help with an ERP implementation or upgrade should talk to Lumenia first!
Tara Canning, Systems Accountant
Laya Healthcare engaged Lumenia to lead a project under challenging time constraints to find a replacement for our legacy Finance systems. The Lumenia consultants were of exceptional quality and they were able to mobilise our internal team very effectively and deliver the project on time. They have very good communication skills and a can-do attitude, which allows them to find ways around potential project roadblocks. We have developed a high level of trust and respect for their knowledge and abilities and would have no hesitation in recommending Lumenia to other companies.
Mary Condon, Finance Director
Peel Ports engaged Lumenia to review our business systems landscape and develop a strategy for our applications, many of which were developed, inherited and maintained over a sustained period of business growth. Following Lumenia’s strategic recommendations and cost appraisal, we asked them to help us define future-state business processes, specify and procure a new ERP system, select a suitable implementation partner and conduct a leadership ERP Readiness workshop.
Lumenia consistently impressed us with their structured processes and precise plans, which they tailored to support our public procurement obligations. They ensured we adhered to these, pushing us when needed and hitting every milestone along the way. This is a remarkable outcome and something we simply could not have achieved by ourselves. Lumenia’s consultants acted as true partners, maintaining professionalism, diligence and responsiveness with our project team throughout the process, producing high-quality documentation and building business readiness at each step. Their team was confident and knowledgeable and was never fazed by the complex requirements of our business.
Richard Farrar, Group Head of IT
We needed to develop an ERP Strategy in our operations in Ireland and the US. Lumenia delivered a comprehensive and very clear roadmap in a timely and professional manner. They work very effectively, combining deep ERP and process knowledge with an ability to engage with people at all levels of the organisation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lumenia.
John D'Arcy, CFO
Praesidiad has worked very successfully with Lumenia on a series of projects over the last 18 months. Lumenia’s structured approach helped us to assess our strategic options and quickly identify potential ERP solutions and vendors who could support our various businesses. We then completed a selection process in a number of months, again with Lumenia’s support and guidance. Ahead of the implementation in our first business unit Lumenia led a “to be” business process design project, helping us to define new business processes based on good practices and setting us up for the design stage of the implementation. We have now engaged Lumenia to provide the structures and methodology for the business change management element of our implementation.
Patrick Seeber, CIO
Valeo Foods and Lumenia have been working together since 2002 on projects such as ERP Selection & Implementation; New Production Introduction; Business Intelligence; and Outsourcing. Lumenia’s approach is professional and methodical and, yet, it has allowed us to complete our projects on time and within budget. Our experience has been that the Lumenia consultants have extensive knowledge of system requirements and best practice; they have worked well with the various members of the project teams and can readily adopt a hands-on approach to the tasks. We have no reservations in recommending Lumenia to other companies.
Seamus Kearney, Managing Director
Games Workshop engaged Lumenia to support our ERP selection process. They supported the identification of the benefits we would get from a new ERP system, which in turn has helped us get the whole business behind the project.
Our Lumenia consultant engaged with the business on all levels throughout the process, bringing knowledge of, and experience in, the ERP marketplace.
The selection process was structured and focused, guiding us to make sure we put the appropriate time and resource into only what is vital. Using this approach and guidance has given us great confidence in the selection we have made.
We chose Lumenia because we wanted independent advice and plan to continue to use them as an independent support throughout our implementation.
Stephen Crook, ERP Project Manager
The business process review with Lumenia, prior to the new ERP system implementation, has really given WD-40 the opportunity to think in different ways.
Jonathan McCoy, General Manager - IT
