Client Experience

Customized engagements with a collaborative culture

The best part about partnering with us isn’t the powerful results you’ll achieve. You’ll want to tell others about our personable, customized approach.

Dennis Bagley, our technology consulting practice leader, knows this is a differentiator. “Our people are the backbone of this group. Clients often refer us not only because we helped solve the issue at hand or completed a defined task. It’s because we work hand-in-hand with them to truly understand their organization and people so that they can continue to leverage their technology investments in the future.”

Our clients say

I would like to personally thank the Plante Moran team for the technology consulting services they provided to Peerless Steel. In a difficult situation they did not waver and remained completely objective. They shared their expertise, insight, and experience in such a candid and forthright manner that it immediately put our stockholder group at ease. And this allowed our shareholders to completely trust in their advice and recommendations. The IT assessment that they provided helped us to easily avoid a disaster and probably saved us many millions of dollars. Peerless Steel could not be more pleased with the work that Plante Moran has provided to us on this engagement and over the many years that we have been a client.

Jeff Zydeck
Peerless Steel, CFO

We hired Plante Moran to perform an ERP assessment to develop a list of detailed requirements for a replacement system. They listened to our needs, shared valuable industry insights, helped us prioritize issues, and provided recommendations on improvements to make when implementing the new system. They brought in experts to share best practices on governance, chart of accounts redesign, and business processes optimization.

We then engaged them to help with the selection process. With in-depth knowledge of the ERP marketplace, and an objective viewpoint of the pros and cons of each solution, they helped us evaluate the options and find a solution to fit our unique needs.

We view Plante Moran as a trusted partner and have used them as a sounding board to help us with change management as we worked through the process. They’re very professional, collaborative, and they communicate complex concepts in a relatable way. Our team and our county administration enjoys working with them, and we have the comfort of knowing they’ve helped set us on a path for a successful implementation.
