ERP Implementation

Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation consultancy

Client side Dynamics 365 expertise from leadership that has owned a global D365 estate worth over two hundred million pounds. We are not a Microsoft partner and we sell no licences, so the advice serves only you.

Talk to us about D365

PEF Consulting Partners provides independent Dynamics 365 consultancy from delivery experience at the largest scale: our leadership owned a global ERP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 estate for BP worth over two hundred million pounds across five countries, and delivered SAP and D365 transformation as interim head of transformation at Amber. Almost every other D365 consultancy you will meet is a Microsoft partner with licences to sell. We sit on your side of the table instead.

That independence matters more with Dynamics than with most platforms, because the partner channel is where D365 programmes are won and lost. Partners are rewarded for licence volume and delivery scale, not for telling you the uncomfortable truths about your data, your scope or your readiness. Someone senior, experienced and unconflicted on the client side changes the economics of the whole programme.

Finance and Operations

Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is where our deepest experience sits, because it is what a two hundred million pound global estate is made of: finance, supply chain and operations running across countries, entities and currencies, integrated with everything the business already owns. F and O programmes are enterprise ERP programmes in full, and they deserve the same disciplines: honest readiness, data first, ruthless scope control, protected testing and an operation prepared for day one. We lead F and O implementations, recover ones that have drifted, and hold partner plans and change requests honest.

Business Central

Business Central is the right answer for many mid market businesses, and the same client side disciplines apply at smaller scale: choosing the right partner, keeping customisation on a leash, and starting the data work before the programme rather than during it. We help mid market buyers select between Business Central and its rivals honestly, and keep the implementation on track without the cost of a big programme team.

How we help on Dynamics 365

Readiness and business case

An honest view of whether you are ready for D365, and a board ready case built from delivery reality rather than partner optimism.

Partner selection

Independent selection of your Microsoft implementation partner, run by people with no stake in who wins.

Client side delivery leadership

Senior programme leadership from design to go live, testing the plan, owning the data and holding the cutover honest.

Rescue and recovery

Taking control of a D365 programme that has drifted, and returning it to controlled delivery.

Assurance, full implementation, or both

We do more than advise on Dynamics 365. Our work comes in two parts, and you can take either or both.

Part A: assurance

Independent assurance alongside Microsoft and your implementation partner: the partner proposal and plan tested before you sign, each phase and the go live decision assured, and data, integrations and finance processes checked before you depend on them.

Part B: full integration

We lead the Dynamics 365 programme from your side and take on the integration: connecting Finance and Operations or Business Central with your banking, payroll, CRM and operational systems, then data migration, testing, cutover and hypercare through to a stable system.

Start with A, add B

Many organisations begin with assurance. If you then want us to take on the full integration, the people who assured the programme are the people who deliver it.
