The Sunk-Cost Trap in Your Portfolio

A botched ERP implementation is a direct threat to EBITDA. When a portfolio company partners with the wrong vendor or approaches an integration without solid architectural foundations, the results are catastrophic for your investment timeline. We regularly see PE operating partners stepping in to manage:

Missed Go-Live Dates

Projects that are months or years behind schedule, delaying critical operational and financial milestones. Every missed deadline erodes confidence and compounds the cost.

Spiralling Budgets

Continuous requests for more funding to fix poorly written code or unoptimised workflows. The original business case is long gone, replaced by an open-ended drain on capital.

Partner Fatigue & Paralysis

A breakdown in trust between the portfolio company and the original implementation partner, leading to a complete standstill. Nobody is willing to make decisions or take ownership.

Operational Disruption

Systems that have gone live prematurely, causing shipping delays, billing errors, and customer dissatisfaction that damages the brand's value and the portfolio company's reputation.

The Veriland Turnaround: Architecture First, Execution Fast

We do not just throw more developers at a fundamentally broken system. Veriland Consulting specialises in forensic, architecture-led rescues for Microsoft Dynamics 365 — Finance, Operations, Customer Engagement, and Asset Management. We find the root cause, stop the bleeding, and get the project over the line.

1
Forensic Architecture Audit
Weeks 1–2
We rapidly assess the current state of the implementation, identifying the root causes of the failure — whether it is bad data architecture, overly complex customisations, or misaligned business processes.
2
The Stabilisation Plan
Weeks 2–3
We stop the bleeding. We prioritise critical fixes, strip back unnecessary bespoke code, and realign the system with standard Microsoft best practices to ensure immediate stability.
3
Rebuild Trust & Momentum
Weeks 3–4
We work directly with the portfolio company's leadership and the PE sponsors to establish transparent reporting, realistic timelines, and clear deliverables that restore confidence.
4
Targeted Delivery
Weeks 4–12
We get the project over the line. Using fixed, phased milestones, we deliver a secure, functional Dynamics 365 environment that supports the original investment thesis.
5
Hypercare & Handover
Weeks 12–16
Dedicated post-delivery support to ensure the system is stable, users are confident, and the portfolio company has a clear path to ongoing operational excellence.

Salvaging the Business Case

A failing ERP project consumes capital and management bandwidth that should be focused on growth. By executing a rapid turnaround, we contain the financial damage, restore operational confidence, and get the portfolio company back on track for a profitable exit. We turn a distressed digital asset back into a stable foundation for scale.

  • Contain the financial damage — stop the cash burn on a broken implementation and redirect capital towards productive growth initiatives
  • Restore operational confidence— a working, reliable system rebuilds trust between the portfolio company's management team and the PE sponsors
  • Recover the investment thesis — the digital transformation that justified the original spend is delivered, enabling the operational improvements and data visibility the business needs
  • Protect exit timelines — a stable, modern ERP platform removes a critical risk factor from buyer due diligence and prevents last-minute valuation adjustments
  • Demonstrate decisive management — showing that problems were identified and resolved quickly signals strong governance to prospective acquirers

Architecture Specialists

We are not a body shop. We are Microsoft-certified solutions architects who understand why implementations fail — and how to fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.

PE-Paced Delivery

We understand the PE clock is always ticking. Our fixed-milestone approach is designed for holding-period timelines, not open-ended consulting engagements.

Transparent Reporting

PE sponsors and operating partners receive clear, honest status updates from day one. No jargon, no obfuscation — just a factual picture of where the project stands and what needs to happen next.

A Safe Pair of Hands

Led by a former Microsoft Blue Badge Solutions Architect with deep experience across D365 Finance & Operations, Business Central, Customer Engagement, and Azure architecture.

Built on the Microsoft Stack

Every rescue is built on Microsoft's enterprise platform — stabilising and rebuilding on the same technology, done properly this time.

Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations logo

Finance & Operations

Core financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and project accounting — rebuilt on solid architecture with proper data migration and integration patterns.

Dynamics 365 Business Central logo

Business Central

For portfolio companies where F&O was over-scoped, we right-size to Business Central — faster to stabilise, lower licence cost, and fit for purpose.

Power BI logo

Power BI & Reporting

Board-ready dashboards and PE reporting packs so you can see the rescue progress and post-stabilisation performance in real time.

Power Platform logo

Power Platform

Automated workflows, custom apps, and Copilot-assisted processes to replace the manual workarounds that accumulated during the broken implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can mobilise within days. A typical forensic architecture audit begins within the first week and delivers a clear stabilisation plan within two to three weeks. We understand that time is the critical factor in these situations and structure our engagement accordingly.

We handle this diplomatically but firmly. In some cases we work alongside the existing partner to course-correct, and in others we execute a clean handover. Our priority is restoring forward momentum — not assigning blame. We will give you an honest assessment of whether the current partner relationship is recoverable.

Our forensic architecture audit examines the technical implementation, the data model, the integration architecture, the customisation decisions, the testing coverage, and the alignment between what was built and what the business actually needs. We also review project governance, change control, and stakeholder communication — because most failures have organisational causes as well as technical ones.

Yes. Post-go-live rescues are some of the most urgent engagements we handle. If the system is live but causing operational disruption — shipping errors, billing failures, reporting gaps — we prioritise immediate stabilisation to stop the bleeding, then systematically address the underlying architectural issues.

We rescue implementations across the full Microsoft Dynamics 365 suite: Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, Human Resources, Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service), and Project Operations. Our architecture team has deep experience across all modules and their integration points.

Legacy System Replacement migrates a business from an older non-Microsoft platform — Sage, AS/400, NAV on-premise — onto modern Dynamics 365. A Broken ERP Rescue stabilises and fixes an existing Dynamics 365 implementation that has been misconfigured, poorly integrated, or abandoned by a previous partner. The system choice was right; the execution was not.

The initial forensic audit is always fixed-price so you know exactly what the assessment will cost. Once we have diagnosed the issues, we propose a fixed-price stabilisation and remediation plan with phased milestones and clear deliverables. No open-ended time-and-materials billing.

Every rescue engagement transitions into a hypercare period to ensure stability. From there, we can provide ongoing managed services, training, and continuous improvement support — or hand over to the portfolio company's internal team with full documentation and knowledge transfer.

Time is the one asset you cannot recover. Contact Veriland Consulting for an honest, rapid assessment of your stalled Dynamics 365 project.
