If you own a small business and need to cut the cost of your business management system implementation, you may be tempted to avoid contacting a consultant until you’re in trouble. Your best option to keep your costs low is to allow the consultant to help you plan the project approach up front. It’s like gambling: set a budget before you start. Let the consultant know how much you’re willing to spend then allocate the budget to a prioritized list of tasks.
Contacting an experienced consultant up front is the “ready, aim, fire” approach that will save you money in the long run.
