​Independent ERP Software Selection Consulting
ERP software selection is one of the most important technology decisions a company will make. The right ERP system can support growth, improve visibility, streamline operations, and provide a foundation for future success. The wrong decision can create years of operational challenges, unnecessary costs, and missed business objectives.
John Hannan LLC is a vendor-neutral ERP software selection consulting firm that helps companies evaluate, select, and implement ERP systems that align with their business requirements, operational goals, and long-term strategy. Our only alliance is to our clients' success. We do not accept referral fees, maintain software quotas, or represent ERP vendors.
As an extension of your team, we lead ERP software selection projects from requirements gathering through vendor evaluation, scripted demonstrations, solution scoring, contract review, and final recommendation. We help organizations bridge the gap between business needs and technology decisions while ensuring stakeholders remain engaged throughout the process.
​
With more than two decades of ERP experience, we have supported middle-market organizations and Fortune-level companies across manufacturing, distribution, life sciences, and other complex industries. Whether you are evaluating your first ERP system, replacing an existing platform, or preparing for a major business transformation, we provide the structure, expertise, and advocacy needed to make confident decisions.
Beyond ERP software selection, we also support implementation planning, project mobilization, solution architecture reviews, change management, and client-side ERP advisory services. We work across all ERP platforms and related business systems including CRM, Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Quality Management Systems (QMS), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and other business-critical applications.
Together, we help companies select the right ERP system and turn that decision into a successful business outcome.​​

FAQs
Who is John Hannan LLC?
John Hannan LLC is a vendor-neutral ERP software selection and implementation advisory firm. We act as a client-side ERP advocate for companies that need to define requirements, evaluate software, manage vendors, and turn an ERP decision into a working system.
What does vendor-neutral ERP advisor mean?
A vendor-neutral ERP advisor does not sell ERP software, take vendor referral fees, or represent one platform. The role is to help your leadership team compare ERP systems, partners, pricing, risk, and implementation fit based on business requirements rather than sales messaging.
When should we contact an ERP selection consultant?
The best time to contact an ERP selection consultant is before vendors frame the project for you. We can help clarify the business case, gather requirements, build an RFP, create a vendor shortlist, plan demos, and protect decision quality before the sales cycle narrows your options.
