“At the end of the selection process, when we presented to the board, they asked me to pass on thanks to all involved for the thoroughness and professionalism with which the project was handled.”
Neil Douglas
Natural Power
“Having carried out an initial search for an ERP solution ourselves we felt that we lacked the experience to make an informed decision, aware that we have very complex and varied requirements. Gradient helped to point us towards key software on the market that were potentially relevant and helped to highlight key issues on which we could base our decisions.”
Westgate
“Employing Gradient for the selection process not only saved us an enormous amount of time but also gave us that confidence that our system was being selected by experienced consultants and that when we reached our final decision we could rest assured it was the best use of our investment. Overall the benefit of having unbiased technical knowledge and selection advice proved invaluable.”
Brook South
Kaydee Blinds
“Gradient provided an objective, professional and high quality service across the wide ranging services they provided. The projects where demanding with diverse internal requirements but the team established excellent working relationships with staff which was vital for the projects to succeed.”
Malcolm Worthington
M&I Materials
“Having carried out an initial search for an ERP system we were unable to distinguish between a long list of system vendors. Gradient Transforming enabled us to identify our detailed requirements, and how each system would cater for them. This resulted in an expedient process that allowed us to hit our incredibly tight deadlines.”
Tim Byrne
CN Creative
“The implementation was successful, and one of the smoothest I have been involved in. Andrew (from Gradient) was Project Manager and liaison between our Process Owners, K3 (supplier) and other 3rd Party suppliers, his attention to detail and hard work proved invaluable.”
Paul Bacon
Finlays
“We relied heavily on Gradient for managing all aspects of the implementation. It allowed our IT department and staff to get on with their day jobs with minimum disruption. Without Gradient we couldn’t have done it.”
Chris Taylor
Charente
“Gradient greatly assisted and sped up our process to find a suitable partner to work with. They had extensive knowledge of the marketplace within our given field and helped enormously in pulling together our scoping document and running the selection process with our steering committee. We believe we’ve found the right partner to work with going forward and it was only by using their input where we able to get to this solution so quickly.”
Joel Rosenblatt
Buoyant Upholstery
“We highly recommend Gradient to any company who may be daunted by the thought of making a significant investment in an ERP system and perhaps making the wrong decision. Gradient helped Auto Marine make the right decision.”
Amy Bryant
AMC

Mick Hegarty
GBG
