Lumenia provided us with both project management and testing support at various stages during our implementation. They provided guidance and insight to the team on the activities required for a successful ERP implementation as well as providing templates and advice that supported effective and successful completion of those activities. Their ability to provide clarity, structure and direction to the ERP team around the testing process was excellent. I would be happy to recommend Lumenia on other projects.
Denis Sweeney, ERP Project Manager
Deciding whether to keep our existing ERP system or replace it with a new one was difficult. Lumenia have deep ERP knowledge and provided structure, objectivity and clarity of thought to help us to arrive at the right decision. Highly recommended!
Graham Wright, Systems Manager
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’s work on our ERP system selection project was exceptionally thorough and detailed. The selection process involved people from across the business and provided us with a structure to work within and a drive to complete the project.
Richard Steele, Finance Director
We were really happy with the work Lumenia carried out for us, which has given us a solid foundation for a series of systems improvement projects. The analysis of our current systems, the various issues and our possible options was detailed and thorough, and is still being referred to on a regular basis as we implement the various improvement initiatives.
Joe Tallon, Group Information Systems Manager
Lumenia worked with our internal team to develop a comprehensive organisational change management plan for our ERP project and played a mentoring role during the early days of the project. The structure and process Lumenia gave us became a reference point for our team throughout the project. This is a great way to fast-track the change management stream in an ERP project. Highly recommended!
Joe Smith, Group IS & Service Delivery Manager
We engaged Lumenia to project manage our ERP implementation, and I’ve been very happy with the way the project was handled and the final outcome. The Lumenia project manager organised and led the implementation team throughout the project, and the feedback from our team has been very positive. As a fast-moving business we had lots of challenges to deal with along the way, but having an experienced external project manager to guide us was a major factor in making the project a success.
Eoghan Sweeney, General Manager
Hutchinsons engaged Lumenia to guide us through the selection of an ERP solution.
The Lumenia process was clear and easy to follow and the approach was very structured. The consultant was very approachable and he worked well with our team. He dealt with the vendors in a firm but fair fashion. The tools used by Lumenia were very helpful in analysing the responses to the tender document. We believe Lumenia helped deliver the right solution for our business and we had no hesitation in engaging the consultant to lead the implementation phase of the project
Richard Johnson, 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.

Havwoods approached Lumenia to assist us select an ERP solution and Implementation partner to deliver a solution across all our sites in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. This is one of the largest projects undertaken by our business which is expanding rapidly across the world.
One of our key criteria for engaging with Lumenia was to ensure that there was a good cultural fit between Lumenia and our teams in the UK and other locations. We feel that this was very successful and it helped us ensure that we had a high level of engagement and excitement from the selection team throughout the process.
The Lumenia Selection process was a phased approach with clear steps and deliverables over an agreed timeline. The project phases and planning of the required Havwoods resources was communicated clearly to us throughout. The project collateral generated as outputs from each stage of the process were clear and of a very high standard with great attention to detail. From the benefits analysis to the final review of the vendors there was a consistent feel and quality to the process.
The Lumenia people added further value to the whole project. Our principal consultant gave us fantastic level of service. His knowledge of every area of the business was admirable.
Overall the selection process has been extremely valuable to us. We feel that the selection project will help to remind us of the rationale for selecting the successful ERP solution and implementation partner in the future. It will also mitigate risk and help guarantee that we have a successful implementation as we proceed to the next phase of the project.
First class organisation, first class process, first class people resulting in a first class experience.
