"CMC added significant value to our ERP selection process, provided us with sound advice and direction, and assisted immensely in guiding us through the system evaluation process.

We particularly valued the understanding that Peter Goes had of the needs and culture of a family business. His advice was always pragmatic and of the highest professional standard."

"Our project team valued the structured process and support that CMC was able to offer to us to guide the evaluation and selection of a preferred vendor for our project. As a result, we felt that the process we undertook was rigorous, comprehensive and fair."

"CMC not only brought considerable Project Management skills to our Sales Force Automation (SFA) Project, they also brought evaluation process, tools and a business acumen which allowed us to deliver a significantly better solution to the business.

Following on from our SFA Project, CMC brought similar advantages to project managing our move to a new site. At all times they were able to think outside the square and use their extensive knowledge and contacts to put us in touch with specialists in other areas such as Warehouse Design."

"We engaged CMC to assist us with a business process analysis and requirements definition for a replacement ERP system for our business. We found CMC's Evaluation and Selection process to be pragmatic and their templates have been integral in allowing us a "fast start" to our project. CMC's use of Business Scenarios was excellent and when it came to the Vendor demonstrations we were able to quickly see which solution would work for us. Their consultants have relevant industry knowledge in Manufacturing and Supply Chain which allowed them to be successful and reliable representatives of our business when dealing with potential vendors."

"When Fantastic was looking to team up with strategic consulting partner we were focused on ensuring that the organisation was completely independent and that they had an excellent knowledge of Supply Chain, Retail and Warehouse Management business systems and processes. CMC was selected because they understood our business and could demonstrate their capability to deliver complex projects.  We have found their consulting and project management staff to be diligent and highly professional, and as such have engaged CMC for a number of projects including the development of a Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) focusing on process improvement and IT services for our multiple brands. We then utilised CMC's Vendor and System Evaluation and Selection Methodology as the foundation for our Retail ERP and POS evaluation process. CMC has assisted us greatly in facilitating the right solution for our business. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as their core principles are based on integrity, trust and doing the right thing by their clients".

"Leighton Holdings has engaged Combined Management Consultants to assist with a number of strategic business and ICT initiatives. We have been delighted with the quality of CMC's consultants and CMC's responsiveness in terms of matching consultant's capabilities to our particular requirements. As a consequence, CMC's consultants have proven very effective in the roles for which they've been engaged."

Jamila Gordon

"CMC brought considerable rigour and structure to our system evaluation process that we didn't have previously. Their independence and strategic view enabled us to move forward with a high degree of confidence that we were making the right purchasing decision. CMC's project templates and methodologies were comprehensive and assisted us greatly in our evaluation."

David Bonham

"CMC played a pivotal role in providing the project framework, evaluation processes, strategic consulting and business case development for the largest retail system replacement undertaken by our group of companies. Their independent advice was essential in the development and evaluation of the systems across a diverse network of stores and stakeholders."

“CMC provided Sandvik with very professional support. We wouldn`t have managed to get to where we are now in such a short time without their involvement. Furthermore, through the very structured evaluation approach we now have a much better idea about whether the solution we chose was the right one for our business. I would certainly use CMC consulting services in the future.”

"We engaged CMC to help us with our complex ERP roll-out. The Program Manager we utilised was instrumental in developing our overarching plan and then pushing our management team to execute this with the necessary resource commitment. We also engaged a CMC Project Manager to sort out an existing business-critical installation and many of the interrelated and outstanding business issues. This was done highly effectively and without fuss. Both of these engagements have successfully contributed to growing my team's Project Management and ERP system capability"
