ERP & Accounting System Readiness

Assess whether your existing ERP, accounting and invoicing systems are prepared to support UAE eInvoicing requirements and identify the technology, integration, data and configuration changes needed for a successful transition.

eInvoicing is not simply a matter of generating electronic invoices. It can require organisations to assess how their ERP, accounting software, invoicing applications, master data, integrations and finance workflows interact.

                      01What is ERP & Accounting System Readiness?

                      It is a structured assessment of your existing ERP, accounting and invoicing systems to determine their ability to support the requirements and operational needs associated with UAE eInvoicing.

                      02Do we need to replace our accounting software?

                      Not necessarily. The assessment first determines whether your existing environment can be configured, upgraded or integrated to support the required future-state capabilities.

                      03Does the assessment include ERP integrations?

                      Yes. Where within scope, we assess relevant interfaces between ERP, accounting, billing, CRM, procurement and other systems.

                      04Do you assess our master data?

                      Yes. Customer, supplier, product, service and tax-related master data can form an important part of the assessment.

                      05Can you help us define system requirements?

                      Yes. We can develop high-level functional, data, integration and control requirements that can support technology and implementation decisions.

                      06Do you recommend a specific ERP or software provider?

                      Our approach is system-agnostic. Recommendations are based on your business requirements, existing technology environment and future-state objectives.
