Business Central consulting: on your side of the table.
Business Central consulting on the client side: sharpen requirements, choose the partner, steer the implementation. Or as a second opinion on the proposal that is already on your desk.
BC from project practice
We have supported Business Central implementations on the consultant side, from pre-sales workshops to go-live.
Not a Microsoft partner
We sell neither licences nor implementation days and review quotes without a stake in the outcome.
Second opinion as a way in
An independent review of proposal, scope and architecture before you sign.
How we support you around Business Central.
-
Second opinion on the partner quote
We review effort, scope, architecture and contract risks. You get concrete negotiation points you can put to the partner directly.
More on this
We check the days quoted for setup, migration, interfaces and training, the gaps that experience says will be needed anyway (permissions, document design, data cleansing, test phases), and the clauses on acceptance and change requests. The result is a written review report. On request the review stays confidential.
-
Requirements and scope before the contract
Capture processes, separate must from can, check closeness to the standard. The sharper the scope before signing, the shorter the change-order list afterwards.
More on this
Every customisation costs three times: in development, at every update and at every partner change. So for each special case we check whether the process can adapt.
-
Partner selection and implementation support
BC partners can be worlds apart. We make the quotes comparable and then steer the rollout from kickoff to hypercare.
More on this
As external project management on your side we hold deadlines, effort, change requests and sign-offs together. We prepare your key users for testing and acceptance so the project does not steamroll them.
-
A review when the project stalls
Deadlines slip, the budget melts, and nobody names the cause. We take stock and put together a realistic plan back on track.
More on this
We look at status, risks and responsibilities: at the partner, in the scope and in your own organisation. Afterwards you decide whether we take over the steering or your team carries on alone.
The proposal is on the table?
Before the signature, a review is at its cheapest. Afterwards every correction costs a multiple.
How the collaboration works.
First call
Clarify the starting point and the documents, then settle on the right format.
Review or assessment
Review of proposal, scope and architecture, or a stocktake inside a running project.
Report and recommendation
A written result with clear points: renegotiate, clarify, change.
Support and handover
On request negotiation and project management, with documented decisions at the end.
Frequently asked questions about Business Central consulting.
What does the second opinion cost?
That depends on the size of the implementation and the volume of documents. You receive a clear quote before commissioning. Measured against typical BC project budgets, the review is a rounding item.
How long does the second opinion take?
Usually one to two weeks from receiving the documents, fast enough for ongoing contract negotiations.
Are you a Microsoft or BC partner?
No, deliberately not. We do not implement Business Central ourselves and sell no licences. That is what makes the review credible: we earn nothing from its conclusion.
How do you know Business Central?
From project practice on the consultant side: pre-sales workshops, scope negotiations and go-lives for mid-sized companies. Today we work independently on the client side, as project lead or second opinion for SMEs.
Will a second opinion upset our implementation partner?
A good partner has no problem with it, and professional clients review six-figure proposals. In practice the scope gets clearer and the list of disputes gets shorter.
Our BC project is already running and stalling, do you help there too?
Yes. The project review is the second opinion for running projects: where the project stands, which risks are open, what has to change. If needed we take over the steering afterwards.
Do you also advise whether BC is the right system at all?
Yes, and then vendor-neutrally through our ERP vendor selection. Business Central suits many mid-market companies well, though it does not suit all of them. We settle that question before the project.
Your BC project deserves a strong counterpart.
Whether before the start, with a proposal on the table or mid-implementation: describe the situation briefly.
