Our Odoo implementation philosophy

Common sense always prevails any rule!

Implementing a management software is as difficult as it is impactful. Odoo connects all departments, which means a lot of changes and a lot of users relying on you to improve their workflows.

It’s hard to be a great Project Leader... very hard. More than 50% of proprietary ERP implementations fail and only 18% of SME's have deployed an integrated management software, because it’s too complex and too expensive for them. But the constant failures to deliver are actually our opportunity to thrive.

Key Concepts

Responsibilities  

  • As Project Leaders, our top priority is to ensure the project stays on time, and on budget. 
  • The customer defines their business' needs (why and what) and the way to satisfy these is defined by the product through us (how). 
  • Odoo challenges customer demand to ensure the benefit is worth the cost.


Keeping It Simple

  • Fewer meetings, less paperwork, faster decisions. 
  • Limit the number of stakeholders to accelerate decision cycle. 
  • Limit custom development to the minimum necessary.
  • Working on site is inefficient to get things done, but efficient for change management and training. Go on site only when needed.
