Business Central Implementation

Solution Design is best if you’re already confident Business Central is the right platform and want to define the project in detail before committing to the build. Over 4 weeks, we work with your teams to produce a complete, implementation-ready project design covering your requirements, processes and proposed solution.

The 360° ERP Assessment is better if you know your current system needs to change but still want to challenge your processes, understand your wider requirements and prove what the right future ERP should look like. It combines discovery, process surveys and proof-of-concept work before the implementation plan is finalised.

Both can lead to a Business Central implementation. The difference is mainly how certain you already are about the solution and how much discovery you need before moving forward.

There is no meaningful one-size-fits-all timeframe. The size of your business, processes, data, integrations and requirements all affect how much work is involved.

With Solution Design, the detailed design phase takes 4 focused weeks, after which you have a defined project ready for implementation. The 360° ERP Assessment is deliberately more exploratory, so its timescale depends on the depth of discovery your business needs.

Before implementation begins, we’ll give you a clear project plan so you understand the expected stages, responsibilities and timescales.

We will need input from the people who genuinely understand how your business operates, particularly during discovery, process review, testing and training. That is important: designing an ERP around assumptions made solely at board level is how important requirements get missed.

We structure that involvement around the right people at the right stages rather than expecting your finance or operational teams to run the project themselves. Their knowledge shapes the solution; our consultants take responsibility for turning it into a workable Business Central implementation.

Good control starts before anything is built. We invest time in understanding requirements, processes and dependencies upfront so there is much less room for assumptions to become expensive changes later.

Our projects are built around clearly defined scope and structured delivery, with requirements agreed before implementation progresses. If something new emerges, we make the impact visible rather than allowing scope to quietly expand.

For businesses wanting the highest level of upfront certainty, Solution Design goes further by producing the complete implementation-ready project design before you commit to the build.

We consider what your future system needs from the outset rather than simply recreating everything that exists today. That means understanding which data matters, how reporting needs to work, which systems still need to connect and where existing processes could be simplified.

The objective is not to move every historic workaround into Business Central. It is to make deliberate decisions about what should be retained, improved or replaced so the new ERP gives your teams more reliable information and better processes.

We’ll tell you.

We do not only work with Business Central, so there is no reason for us to force a solution that does not fit your business. Our job is to help you choose the ERP that best supports your processes, people and future plans.

That is particularly important within our 360° ERP Assessment, where discovery, process surveys and proof-of-concept work allow us to test the proposed solution against how your business actually operates.

If Business Central is not the right fit, we would rather identify that before you invest in the implementation — and recommend a more suitable route instead.
