Find Your ERP Platform

Moran guides higher education institutions through the full ERP vendor selection process with a vendor-neutral perspective focused on matching you with the right system from RFP development through final contract negotiation.

Big Decision, High Stakes

Selecting a new ERP platform is one of the most consequential technology decisions your institution will make. The options are complex and the process requires a level of objectivity and higher education market knowledge that is hard to maintain internally when vendors are actively engaged.

Moran has guided many higher education institutions successfully through this process. We bring deep platform knowledge and a structured evaluation methodology that keeps your institution’s needs at the center of every decision from the first envisioning session through contract signing.

How We Make It Happen

Moran’s ERP selection process is grounded in a capability model that ensures your institution knows what it needs before evaluating what vendors offer. We work comfortably across all major ERP platforms with a sole focus on what is right for your institution.

Our Approach

  • Envisioning Sessions

    Expand institutional thinking beyond legacy constraints and build a shared vision for future capabilities.

  • Validate Desired Capabilities

    Define what your institution needs from a future ERP before any vendor conversation begins.

  • Develop RFP

    Build a requirements-driven RFP grounded in your institution’s specific context and needs.

  • Evaluate Software

    Manage vendor demonstrations and evaluate responses against your defined capabilities.

  • Evaluate System Implementors

    Assess SI bids and support selection of the right implementation partner.

  • Contract Negotiation

    Leverage historical pricing knowledge and market experience to secure favorable terms on both software and implementation contracts.
