How Does the Champion Benchmark Work?

In just a few days, QAD experts collaborate with your team to understand your goals, assess your system, and deliver a prescriptive roadmap toward measurable improvement.

Step 1 – Engage and Understand Business Objectives
We begin with a business-level engagement. QAD experts partner with your leadership team to understand your goals and key drivers, reaffirm strategic objectives, and benchmark current performance to uncover potential business outcomes.


Step 2 – Assess the Current System and Recommend Change
Next, we analyze your current ERP system and business processes to identify what’s holding you back. Our experts diagnose challenges and recommend how to solve them using QAD Adaptive—including how to retire, standardize, integrate, or extend existing customizations.



Step 3 – Deliver the Prescriptive Path and Outcomes
Finally, you receive a clear, data-driven report: proposed business outcomes, a governance framework, and a prescriptive “Journey to Adaptive” roadmap aligned with industry best practices — your blueprint for sustainable modernization.
