Infor M3 ERP cloud implementation, migrating from both Adage (on-prem) and a legacy ERP. The first rollout was scheduled for May, with two more years of subsequent rollouts planned.

The Team is seeking a consultant to create and execute a holistic business cutover plan, focusing on change management, training, deployment, and production support.
The ideal candidate should have strong communication and organizational skills, broad ERP cutover experience (preferably Infor, but SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, or Microsoft Dynamics are acceptable), and at least two Greenfield ERP implementations. Technical depth is less important than business focus.
