Implementation Assurance

Implementation Assurance embeds expert Microsoft D365 practitioners alongside CFOs to mitigate execution risk, optimise investment returns, and ensure ERP transformation programmes deliver quantifiable business value for finance teams.

The Challenge

The Implementation Value Gap

CFOs face a critical challenge: driving D365 implementation success while managing day-to-day operations and board accountability. Without experienced practitioners guiding execution, programmes risk cost overruns, delayed benefits realisation, and failure to deliver transformational finance outcomes that justify the investment.

How It Works

Expert-Led Risk Mitigation and Value Assurance

Our practitioners embed within your programme governance structure, providing independent oversight, technical validation, and strategic guidance. We identify risks early, challenge assumptions, ensure best-practice execution, and keep your transformation on track to deliver measurable finance outcomes.
