A reminder of our event – the fast-track to finding the perfect software
Selecting a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is one of the most critical and time-consuming decisions a business can make. The process is often overwhelming, involving endless research, cold calls, and repetitive sales presentations.
That’s where our itSHOWCASE ERP Discovery Day comes in.
We’ve fundamentally re-engineered the software selection journey to make it convenient, efficient, and, most importantly, centred around your business needs.
Held 12 times a year at premier venues across the UK, our Discovery Days are a unique, one-day ‘pop-up exhibition’ designed to put you on the fast track to finding your next software partner.
Why Discovery Days beat traditional exhibitions
Our events are built on a philosophy of consultation over confrontation. We strip away the noise of a large trade show and the pressure of a solitary vendor meeting to give you a truly focused, productive experience.
- The Entire Market is at Your Fingertips: From industry giants like SAP, Microsoft, Netsuite, and Sage to specialist niche providers, you’ll have access to a comprehensive range of ERP solutions. The goal is to give you a complete market view to ensure your final shortlist is the best possible fit.
- No Sales Pitches, Only Consultations: ERP vendors are there to act as expert advisors, not aggressive salespeople. The ethos of the Discovery Day is to help you find the perfect solution, not just any solution. It’s common for a supplier to disqualify themselves if they genuinely believe another system would better suit your unique processes.
- Time-Saving Efficiency: We know your time is valuable. Instead of spending weeks chasing meetings, you complete your initial research in a single, focused day. It’s a completely free and time-efficient way to tackle what is typically a long and resource-intensive task.
How the day works: preparation is key
The success of a Discovery Day lies in the preparation we do before you even arrive. We eliminate time-wasting by pre-matching you with the most suitable ERP providers.
- Requirement Clarification: After you register, a member of our team will contact you to discuss and clarify your business’s specific needs, pain points, and must-have requirements.
- Personalised Itinerary: We use this information to identify and arrange a series of one-on-one Software Discovery Meetings with carefully selected ERP candidates.
- Focused Q&A: When you arrive, you’ll be fully prepared with a personal itinerary. Your chosen exhibitors will be pre-briefed on your business, meaning every meeting starts directly with focused Q&A and expert recommendations. There’s no need to waste time on introductory slides—you dive straight into the solutions that matter.
Your essential takeaway
An ERP Discovery Day is not about making an on-the-spot decision; it’s about accelerating your research and validating your options. You leave with:
- A concrete, high-quality shortlist of providers.
- A deeper understanding of your own business needs and how modern ERP systems address them.
- An informed perspective on the next crucial steps in your ERP journey.
