Third Stage Consulting, the ERP industry's leading digital transformation consultancy, has partnered with Chicago-based ERP training consultancy Onboard to offer its clients a full range of tailored end-user training services.

The importance of the end user adoption of an ERP implementation is often underestimated, but Third Stage Consulting fully recognizes its value within change management.

“Third Stage Consulting is a best-of-breed in the ERP transformation market,” said Jo Harrison, Onboard’s CEO “and so we’re delighted to have partnered with them to ensure their varied clients can utilize our 25+ years of managing ERP training programs.

“Vice versa, we’re often involved in projects where additional transformation and change services are required and will now have an experienced and trusted partner to recommend, ensuring this stage runs smoothly.”

Talking of the new partnership, Eric Kimberling, CEO at Third Stage Consulting, said: “In every ERP Implementation it’s incredibly important to focus on a People First, Technology Second approach, and Onboard lives this with tailored solutions focused on end-user adoption. Having a partner we can rely on to bring expertise to the training and onboarding of new users is critical, and we’re thankful we can rely on Onboard for their industry-leading capabilities.”

Third Stage Consulting serves as an independent, technology-agnostic advisor and collaborative partner to our client community. They provide unparalleled industry expertise and proven methodologies to optimize any technology transformation and maximize business value.

Through this strategic partnership, Third Stage will be able to add further value to its client services by offering a full range of end-user training options. Onboard has unparalleled training expertise in all leading ERP applications, including Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Cloud ERP, IFS Cloud ERP, and many more, providing tailored solutions for over 800 global clients.

Onboard’s flexible approach includes the planning, design, development, and delivery of a completely customized training program, often working collaboratively with in-house trainers where available.

Harrison summarized: “We’re delighted to be partnering with such a forward-looking consultancy as Third Stage Consulting, and helping to ensure that both of our clients achieve the very best from their ERP implementations.”

Onboard is the newly established North American arm of experienced UK-based ERP training consultancy Optimum Technology Transfer Ltd. Having found an increased demand from US-based clients, they recently opened a new location in Chicago, IL, under the new brand, Onboard.
