ERP Evaluation Results
CMC was engaged to facilitate an independent ERP Solution and Vendor Evaluation to determine the best solution to support future growth (tenancies) and utilise technology to operate more efficiently. The preferred solution was a fully integrated Property Management, Facilities, Asset Management and Finance System.
CMC’s Evaluation Methodology was utilised to conduct the assessment including the preparation of Key Business Scenarios, the Request for Proposal, Vendor Presentations and Due Diligence.
Brisbane Markets retained CMC to provide ongoing CIO Services and Project Management support for the Design and Implementation Stages with the preferred ERP Vendor.
