The TSA Clock Is Ticking

When a business is carved out of a larger parent, the IT separation is almost always the most complex and time-critical workstream. The carved-out entity inherits nothing — no standalone ERP, no independent integrations, no autonomous reporting capability — and a Transition Services Agreement with a hard expiry date that will not wait for a delayed technology programme.

Shared System Entanglement

The carved-out entity runs as a company code or legal entity inside the parent's ERP. Master data, configurations, workflows, and reporting are deeply intertwined with the parent's operations — there is no clean boundary to simply unplug.

Immovable TSA Deadlines

The Transition Services Agreement gives you a fixed window — typically 6 to 12 months — to achieve full IT independence. Miss the deadline and you face punitive extension fees, operational disruption, or both.

Integration Complexity

Payment processors, banking feeds, EDI connections, logistics APIs, HR systems — all routed through the parent's infrastructure. Every integration needs to be rebuilt independently before the carved-out entity can operate autonomously.

Operational Continuity Risk

The business cannot stop trading during the separation. Orders must ship, invoices must be raised, payroll must run. Any gap in system capability on Day 1 directly impacts revenue, customers, and employees.

Clean Extraction. Day 1 Readiness. Zero Disruption.

Veriland Consulting delivers architecture-led carve-out separations built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. We work backwards from your TSA expiry date, standing up an independent ERP environment for the carved-out entity while extracting master data and historical transactions from the parent system — regardless of whether the parent runs SAP, Oracle, or legacy Microsoft platforms.

Surgical Data Extraction

We extract only the data that belongs to the carved-out entity — master records, transactional history, open orders, outstanding balances — mapped and transformed into the Dynamics 365 data model without disrupting the parent's live system.

Standalone Environment

A fully independent Dynamics 365 environment with its own chart of accounts, security model, reporting framework, and system administration. No residual dependencies on the parent's IT infrastructure or support teams.

Integration Rebuild

Every third-party integration the entity relies on is rebuilt against the new standalone platform — banking, payments, EDI, logistics, CRM, and HR — with independent credentials, contracts, and monitoring.

TSA Exit Management

A structured dependency register tracks every service the carved-out entity receives from the parent. We systematically eliminate each dependency, reporting progress weekly against TSA milestones so there are no last-minute surprises.

From Entanglement to Independence

Our carve-out methodology is designed for the hard deadlines and zero-tolerance risk profile of PE-backed divestitures. Every phase is time-boxed and milestone-driven, working backwards from Day 1 readiness.

1
Separation Architecture
Weeks 1–2
Map every dependency between the carved-out entity and the parent — systems, data, integrations, shared services, and people. Design the target Dynamics 365 architecture and build the TSA exit plan with milestones tied to contractual deadlines.
2
Environment & Configuration
Weeks 2–5
Stand up the independent Dynamics 365 environment. Configure the chart of accounts, financial dimensions, business processes, security roles, and reporting framework. Deploy standard configuration packages tailored to the entity's operating model.
3
Data Extraction & Migration
Weeks 4–10
Extract master data and historical transactions from the parent system. Transform, validate, and load into the new environment. Run reconciliation cycles to ensure data integrity before cutover — opening balances must tie back to the penny.
4
Integration & Testing
Weeks 8–14
Rebuild all third-party integrations against the standalone platform. Run end-to-end process testing, parallel running, and user acceptance testing. Validate every critical business process — order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report — operates independently.
5
Cutover & Day 1
Weeks 14–16
Structured cutover weekend with final data migration, go/no-go checkpoints, and fallback plan. Day 1 the carved-out entity operates fully on its own Dynamics 365 platform. Hypercare support covers the first month-end close and critical processes.

A Clean Separation Protects the Deal

A successful IT separation is not just an operational necessity — it is a prerequisite for protecting the economics of the transaction. TSA overruns, system failures on Day 1, or lingering parent dependencies all erode deal value and distract management from building the business.

  • Eliminate TSA extension costs — punitive monthly fees for extended transition services can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds and were never in the deal model
  • Protect Day 1 revenue — a functioning, independent ERP means orders ship, invoices are raised, and cash is collected from the first day of standalone operation
  • Remove parent dependency risk— as long as the carved-out entity relies on the parent's systems, the parent has leverage and the entity cannot operate autonomously
  • Establish a platform for growth — a modern, independent Dynamics 365 environment gives the new entity a scalable foundation for the PE value creation plan, not just a survival mechanism
  • Strengthen future exit positioning— clean, standalone technology with no residual parent dependencies removes a major risk factor from the next buyer's due diligence

Built on the Microsoft Stack

Regardless of what the parent runs, the carved-out entity lands on Microsoft's enterprise platform — giving it a modern, supported, and scalable foundation from Day 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most carve-out separations run 8 to 16 weeks from kick-off to Day 1 readiness, depending on the complexity of the parent system, the volume of shared data to untangle, and the number of integrations that need to be rebuilt or replaced. We work backwards from your TSA expiry date to build a delivery plan with milestones that protect the deadline.

This is the most common scenario we handle. The carved-out entity is typically running as one legal entity or company within a shared SAP, Oracle, Dynamics AX, or NAV environment. We extract the entity-specific master data, historical transactions, and configuration, then stand up a clean, independent Dynamics 365 environment. The parent system is left untouched — we extract, we do not disrupt.

Absolutely. TSA management is central to every carve-out engagement. We map every dependency the carved-out entity has on the parent — IT systems, shared services, reporting, integrations — and build a structured exit plan that eliminates each dependency before the TSA window closes. We report progress against TSA milestones weekly.

We migrate a defined period of transactional history — typically 24 months or more — into the new Dynamics 365 environment so the carved-out entity retains full reporting continuity for management accounts, statutory audit, and regulatory compliance. The exact scope is agreed during the architecture phase based on legal, audit, and operational requirements.

We audit every integration the carved-out entity relies on — payment gateways, banking feeds, EDI connections, logistics providers, CRM, HR systems — and rebuild them against the new standalone Dynamics 365 environment. Where the parent held the vendor relationship, we work with the new entity to establish independent contracts and API credentials before cutover.

The parent system does not need to be Microsoft. We have deep experience extracting data from SAP (ECC, S/4HANA, Business One), Oracle (EBS, Cloud, JDE), Infor, Sage, and legacy Dynamics AX/NAV. We build data extraction pipelines that map the parent schema to the Dynamics 365 data model, handling chart of accounts mapping, master data transformation, and historical transaction conversion.

Yes. Every carve-out engagement includes a structured hypercare period covering the first month-end close, critical business processes, and user support. We staff a dedicated support team for the cutover weekend and the first two weeks of live operation to ensure the carved-out entity is fully self-sufficient before we step back.

Yes. The architecture and planning phase is fixed-price, and the separation delivery is scoped and priced as a fixed engagement with phased milestones tied to TSA exit dates. You know the total cost upfront — there are no open-ended time-and-materials surprises.
