Large ERP projects tie up budget and attention for months. A prototype reduces uncertainty: a concrete sub-process becomes clickable before the overall scope is fixed.

What a prototype should deliver:

• Show whether core workflows map onto the system
• Involve business units early, with feedback on real edge cases
• Ground the scope and effort estimate for Nuclos Enterprise or a requirements specification

What it does not deliver: full migration, all integrations, or production operation. The prototype is a decision basis, not a go-live.

Nuclos offers a 48h prototype: a defined process built in Nuclos, usable both technically and functionally as a basis for discussion and planning. The investment counts toward follow-on projects.

A sensible sequence: define goals, sketch the process (process modeling), prototype, then a specification or fixed-price delivery.

Teams that jump straight into a big-bang ERP rollout discover fit problems late and pay for it (implementation mistakes).
