I can’t say enough good things about Alex and Michael, they were wonderful to work with.  The Business Process Review was probably the most valuable thing for our company - reviewing how all the teams interact with each other.  They helped us draft the RFP and vetted the responses so we could narrow down the list of vendors to our top three.  Michael was incredible on our actual contract negotiations, guiding us on where we could push back, resulting in savings that essentially paid for the 180 Systems fees. Once we had selected the ERP system, Alex helped us through the entire implementation process – we wouldn’t have been able to do it without his knowledge and support.

Michael is a great individual and his team was awesome. They were very very thorough in helping us with our selection of an ERP system. I think the one thing that really helped us out is all the stuff that puts most people to sleep didn’t put them to sleep.  In reviewing and documenting all of our processes, they were amazing at getting it down to the detail level so they had a thorough understanding of the needs of our system.

I thought Michael was very professional, thorough, well organized, detailed, and overall a pleasure to work with. He assisted me in a very detailed software selection project with many vendor companies. Michael provided us with a methodology and we are using it. He performed the preliminary inquiry phase, sent out questionnaires to potential companies, gathered and compiled the materials, and helped me navigate the process, including online demos, and even visiting companies in Montreal.

We needed someone who would be objective and not just sell us a solution. We also needed someone with a strong technical understanding, as well as expertise in our industry - apparel manufacturing and distribution. We engaged Michael Burns who far exceeded our expectations. I hold him in the highest regard, as he was always focused on the best solution for our company. I would highly recommend his company, 180 Systems, if you are thinking about changing your existing system.

Working with Michael was fine, great, worked for me. He was methodical with how he went about the project. There were lots of people on the internal team, and he was able to get input from the key people. He also worked well with the vendors and provided us with good materials on the various products so we could evaluate them. He had a point system for rating the suitability of the systems which allowed us to narrow the choices and focus the team on those concepts.
