Technology guidance you can actually trust
Most ERP advisors earn commissions from the vendors they recommend. MDG Advisory Services was built differently — no vendor relationships, no commissions, no referral fees — and no agenda except getting you the right answer.
The advice is conflicted
Most technology advisors earn commissions from the vendors they recommend. Their financial interest and yours are rarely aligned — and most business owners don't realize it until after the decision is made.
Implementations fail at high rates
55–75% of ERP projects fail to meet their objectives. The firms that ran those implementations still got paid. When no one is accountable for the outcome, the client absorbs all the risk.
AI is impossible to evaluate independently
Every vendor pitch includes AI now. Finding someone who will tell you honestly what's worth doing — for your specific operation, without selling you something — is genuinely rare.
Tailored to your situation — no packaged methodology, no predetermined answer.
