Fit-gap analysis

A fit-gap analysis compares the company’s processes and requirements with the standard functions of the chosen software to show what is met out of the box (fit) and where there is a difference (gap).

There are three paths for every gap: adapting the process to the standard, configuring the software or customising it. The result of the analysis is the basis of the implementation scope and effort.

How it affects your decision

An implementation quote given without a fit-gap is a price given for an unknown scope. Seeing the gaps early is the step that most affects the need for customisation and therefore the total cost.
