IBSA Services
Comprehensive independent advisory for modernizing your technology stack and optimizing business operations through strategic selection and oversight.
1. ERP Advisory & Readiness
Independent assessment of your current systems, processes, and ERP readiness.Before any organisation begins an ERP journey, clarity is essential. IBSA provides an independent readiness assessment that evaluates your current systems, business processes, pain points, and strategic objectives. This early‑stage advisory ensures councils understand their options, risks, and priorities before engaging with vendors or committing to procurement.
2. Requirements Development
Audit‑defensible functional, technical, and non‑functional requirements.Clear, structured requirements are the foundation of a successful ERP procurement. IBSA facilitates targeted workshops across all business areas to document functional needs, integration points, statutory obligations, and non‑functional expectations. The result is a comprehensive, WALGA‑aligned specification that defines exactly what your organisation needs — not what vendors want to sell.
3. Procurement & RFT Preparation
Transparent, compliant procurement documentation for ERP vendor engagement.IBSA supports councils through the preparation of ERP procurement documentation, including RFT packages, evaluation criteria, scoring matrices, and governance alignment. All materials are structured to meet Local Government procurement standards and ensure transparency, defensibility, and consistency throughout the process.
4. Vendor Evaluation & Selection
Objective facilitation of demonstrations, scoring, and comparative analysis.Selecting the right ERP vendor requires structured evaluation and independent facilitation. IBSA manages the demonstration process, develops scenario scripts, coordinates scoring sessions, and produces comparative analysis reports. Councils receive a clear, evidence‑based recommendation supported by transparent scoring and documented rationale.
5. Post-RFT Advisory
Strategic support during contract finalisation, negotiation, and implementation planning.The period between vendor selection and implementation is critical. IBSA provides ongoing advisory to council leadership during contract negotiations, ensuring functional requirements are mirrored in service level agreements and that the implementation roadmap is realistic and transparent.
6. ERP Specification Framework
Pre-built, modular documentation specifically designed for Local Government ERP procurement.IBSA maintains a robust ERP Specification Framework that includes pre‑configured functional modules, technical standards, and governance criteria. This framework accelerates the requirements development phase while maintaining the highest levels of accuracy and alignment with the unique regulatory and operational needs of Western Australian councils.
7. Our Process
