Independent, Vendor-Neutral ERP Advisory
Lightbridge ERP: common questions.
- What does Lightbridge ERP do?
- Lightbridge ERP is an independent, vendor-neutral ERP advisory firm. The core services are enterprise needs assessment and roadmap, ERP and related technology selection, and the project management and technical leadership that carry a program through delivery. NetSuite and EPM/FP&A are delivered hands-on in-house. Other platforms are delivered through vetted partners under Lightbridge leadership.
- Is Lightbridge ERP a NetSuite-only firm?
- No. NetSuite is the in-house flagship practice, but Lightbridge ERP advises and leads delivery across the full platform landscape, including SAP, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle, and others. The selection process is vendor-neutral by design, so the platform recommendation follows requirements and fit rather than any single product.
- What makes Lightbridge ERP vendor-neutral?
- Lightbridge ERP accepts no vendor kickbacks: no referral fees, no reseller quotas, and no partner-tier incentives that bias a recommendation. Selection guidance is driven by fit, not commission. This is the central difference between an independent advisor and a vendor-aligned VAR or reseller whose revenue depends on selling a specific platform.
- How does Lightbridge ERP deliver implementations?
- Delivery is hybrid. NetSuite and EPM/FP&A are implemented hands-on by in-house senior practitioners. For other platforms, rigorously vetted partners execute the build under Lightbridge project management and technical leadership. In every case, Lightbridge remains the single accountable program owner and governance does not transfer to a vendor.
- Which ERP platforms does Lightbridge ERP cover?
- Lightbridge ERP covers NetSuite as its in-house flagship, plus SAP, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Oracle, with additional platforms listed on the platforms hub. Coverage starts at advisory and selection for every platform and extends to hands-on delivery in-house for NetSuite and EPM/FP&A, or via vetted partners under Lightbridge leadership elsewhere.
- Where do most engagements with Lightbridge ERP start?
- Most engagements start with ERP selection or an enterprise needs assessment. Selection is the most common entry point: a structured, evidence-based evaluation that picks the right platform on requirements and fit. From there, Lightbridge ERP carries program management and technical leadership through implementation and into managed services.
- Where is Lightbridge ERP based?
- Lightbridge ERP operates from Reston, Virginia, at 11921 Freedom Drive, Suite 550, with a remote-first delivery model. The firm is part of the Lightbridge technology group, with sibling practices in cloud, AI, and custom software that extend an ERP program beyond the core platform.
