You're about to evaluate an ERP
Anforderungen, RFP, vendor shortlist, scoring, total cost of change. The selection has to hold up in front of the board — and in operations.

OPCON
✓ ERP Entry Point · JPS-iQ Solutions Group
Your entry into ERP. Evaluate, design, execute and stabilize — as one senior-led Business Unit.
OPCON is the ERP entry point of the JPS-iQ Solutions Group — personally led by Managing Director Walter Meyer. Start with a senior-led ERP evaluation, process and operating-model design, program execution, or stabilization when a program has drifted — and connect directly into the group's implementation Business Units: NetSuite, Microsoft Business Central, Xentral, Zoho or SAP. Platform-agnostic, finance-aware, governance-led.

When to engage OPCON
Six situations where a structured OPCON engagement is the right response.
OPCON is designed for the moments where ERP programs, operations or systems need disciplined execution — whether that means choosing the right platform, designing the right operating model, running the right program, or stabilizing one that has drifted.
Business & IT speak past each other
Requirements live in one language, the system in another. Process design, target operating model and the business–IT translation are missing.
A program has started but structure is missing
PMO, workstream leadership, vendor interface and decision cadence need to be put in place before execution breaks down.
Go-live keeps slipping
Milestones move, scope drifts, decisions stall. The timeline is no longer believable to leadership — and recovery, not another workstream, is the answer.
Finance numbers lose trust
Reports diverge from operations. Close cycles slip. Management stops relying on the ERP numbers. Stabilization is overdue.
An ERP implementation has to be fixed
The system is live but the operating model is not. A structured turnaround is required to bring platform, process and finance back in line.
OPCON capabilities
Four capabilities across the ERP lifecycle — one entry Business Unit, one senior lead.
OPCON is where the ERP conversation starts and where execution discipline is set. We evaluate and select the right platform, design the process and operating model, execute the program, and stabilize it when it drifts — and we are the first senior voice most clients hear before an implementation Business Unit picks up delivery.
01
Evaluate — ERP selection
ERP evaluation & selection.
Structured selection of the platform that actually fits — business requirements, finance model, operating reality and total cost of change considered in one view.
- Business and IT requirements definition
- RFP / tender process and structured vendor engagement
- System comparison, scoring and decision support
- Target architecture and sequencing plan for implementation
02
Analyse & Design — operating model
Business analysis & process design.
Processes, operating model and target picture translated into a design that works on both sides of the business–system line — not one that lives only in slides.
- Process capture, structuring and end-to-end mapping
- Target operating model and governance design
- Business ↔ system translation and ownership definition
- Scope, sequencing and change impact per capability area
03
Execute — program delivery
Program execution & support.
Running programs need structure, cadence and a credible business–IT–vendor interface. We step in as program leadership, PMO or workstream lead — senior, hands-on and accountable.
- Program and sub-project leadership under senior steering
- PMO set-up, cadence, decision discipline and reporting
- Business ↔ IT ↔ vendor interface, scope and change control
- Support for running programs that need structural reinforcement
04
Stabilize — turnaround & rescue
Stabilization & turnaround.
When programs stall or ERP implementations drift, stabilization is not another workstream — it's a focused, senior-led intervention that takes control and hands back a running system.
- Program rescue and governance reset under pressure
- Operational turnaround across finance, operations and reporting
- Fixing ERP implementations: platform, process and data realigned
- Controlled handover of stabilized operating model and platform
ERP entry path
OPCON is where the ERP journey begins. The implementation Business Units of the group take it from there.
For most organizations, OPCON is the first senior conversation about ERP — before a platform is chosen, before a vendor is signed, before an integrator is briefed. Once the target model is clear, the right implementation Business Unit of the JPS-iQ Group picks up delivery. One group, one architectural line, one accountable partner from scoping to go-live.
Start with OPCON
Walter-led scoping call. Operating model, finance reality, total cost of change and shortlist criteria — in a compressed, senior-led engagement.
Choose the right platform
Platform-agnostic evaluation. The outcome is a defensible target architecture and the right implementation Business Unit for your situation — not a pre-decided vendor.
Hand into the implementation BU
Delivery continues inside the group — with NetSuite, Microsoft Business Central, Xentral, Zoho or SAP — under one architectural line, not across four disconnected vendors.
NetSuite
Flagship · Retail, Services, Manufacturing
Microsoft BC
Mid-market Dynamics 365 implementation & support
Xentral
Scaling commerce & operations ERP
Zoho
Entry-level ERP & One-Suite business stack
SAP
Enterprise S/4HANA & finance architecture
Not every engagement leads to a group implementation. OPCON is independent by design — if another platform or partner is the right answer, we say so. That is the discipline that keeps the ERP entry conversation credible.
Detail
One execution Business Unit. Evaluation, design, delivery and stabilization under one roof.
OPCON does not replace your teams. It brings the missing senior capability that typically breaks down around ERP programs: requirements rigor, process design, program leadership, business–IT translation and — when needed — the discipline to take control of a program that has drifted.
We operate as evaluators, as business analysts, as PMO or program leadership, as interim steering — wherever the situation demands. Always close to the numbers. Always close to the operating reality. Always independent of any single platform vendor.

Method
Execution is not a workshop. Every OPCON engagement follows a clear four-step arc.
Whether the engagement starts with ERP selection, a process redesign, a live program or a stabilization mandate — the arc is the same: a compressed diagnostic, a defensible design, hands-on execution and a controlled handover. Finance and operating reality stay in the center throughout.
01 — Diagnose
Compressed diagnostic
Program, finance, operations, architecture and scope assessed in a short, senior-led engagement. Clear picture, no padding.
02 — Design
Target model & sequencing
Defensible target operating model, sharpened scope, governance design and a believable sequencing plan — ready to execute.
03 — Execute
Hands-on delivery
Senior delivery into selection, program, operations or systems — architecture-led, not workshop-led.
04 — Hand over
Controlled handover & ownership
Target model and platform handed over to internal ownership with clear extension rules and a clean exit.
Execution outcomes
Execution is measured in better decisions, better programs and better platforms.
A successful OPCON engagement is not a report. It is a platform decision that holds, a program that runs under structure, an operating model that works on both sides of the business–system line — or a stalled program brought back under control and handed over running.
- Platform decisions backed by requirements, scoring and total cost of change
- Programs that run under clear governance, cadence and scope discipline
- Processes and operating models that work end-to-end, not only in slides
- Stabilized ERP implementations handed back to internal ownership
4 capabilities
Evaluate · Analyse & Design · Execute · Stabilize — as one Business Unit, not four vendors.
1 engagement
Architecture, finance, operations and governance under one roof.
0 vendor bias
Platform-agnostic execution — no commercial incentive to push a product.
∞ transfer
Every engagement ends with ownership transferred back to the organization.
Differentiation
What separates OPCON from generic advisory and from platform vendors.
No PowerPoint-only execution
OPCON is hands-on. We evaluate, design, lead and deliver — not only document findings. Execution is earned in the operating reality, not in the steering committee.
No platform bias
We are not paid to sell a product. The target model and the selected platform are chosen on what makes sense for the organization — not on what makes margin for a vendor.
No workstream factory
OPCON engagements are senior-led and compressed. We don't staff five workstreams where two senior operators are needed.
