Inherited broken software post-acquisition? Avoid a risky multi-year rip-and-replace. We unify disparate legacy systems into a single, real-time Microsoft Dynamics dashboard to give operating partners instant clarity.
When you acquire a new business, you inherit its technical debt. Operating partners and portfolio CFOs frequently find themselves battling outdated legacy ERPs, fragmented data sources, and inconsistent metrics—making it impossible to validate the investment thesis quickly.
Private Equity firms waste years trying to migrate acquired companies onto a single underlying ERP, sinking capital when they could achieve consolidated visibility in weeks via a secure abstraction data layer.
Waiting weeks for consolidated financial reports from disparate legacy accounting packages like old Sage or on-premise NAV, rendering data obsolete by the time it reaches the board.
An inability to compare operational performance across bolt-on acquisitions due to fundamentally different data structures, making it near impossible to spot margin erosion quickly.
Relying on manual, error-prone spreadsheets to duct-tape broken systems together. One broken formula in a complex multi-currency roll-up can severely misstate EBITDA.
At Veriland Consulting, we take an authoritative stance: you do not have to immediately fix or rip out a broken ERP to gain control. We integrate disparate legacy systems and standardise data flows into a secure, unified Microsoft architecture. This gives operating partners the real-time clarity they need instantly, buying time to address underlying ERP issues methodically.
Get a top-down, real-time view of EBITDA, cash flow, and operational health across your entire portfolio on a single pane of glass powered by Power BI, regardless of the source ERP.
Strip days out of the month-end close. We architect Dynamics 365 Finance and Azure solutions that automate roll-ups across multiple entities and tax jurisdictions, decoupling reporting from legacy tech.
We build uniform data models for newly acquired bolt-on businesses, ensuring you are comparing apples to apples across your investments from day one, even if one uses SAP and another uses Xero.
Move from high-level summaries down to individual transactional data in clicks, allowing operating partners to pinpoint the exact root cause of underperformance locked away in a legacy system.
Veriland takes a phased, architecture-first approach. We do not demand multi-year rip-and-replace deployments on day one — we connect, extract data, standardise it, and buy you time to plan the actual ERP consolidation logically.
Clean, auditable, and automated data reporting does not just help you rescue broken process today — it proves the business's integration maturity tomorrow. Buyers pay a premium for PE portfolios that have successfully de-risked inherited, disparate IT landscapes.
By modernising your portfolio's data architecture during the hold period, we help you remove buyer friction and maximise your eventual exit valuation.
Every engagement is built on the Microsoft stack — giving your portfolio companies enterprise-grade infrastructure that buyers recognise and trust.
Multi-entity, multi-currency financial management with automated consolidation, intercompany elimination, and real-time general ledger reporting.
Interactive dashboards with row-level security, natural language Q&A, embedded analytics, and scheduled data refreshes for always-current portfolio views.
Data Factory, Logic Apps, and API Management to connect any source system — legacy ERPs, accounting packages, spreadsheets, and third-party APIs.
Custom apps, automated workflows, and Copilot-assisted process automation to extend visibility across every portfolio company.
A foundational portfolio dashboard covering key financial KPIs can typically be delivered within 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the number of entities and data source complexity. Veriland uses agile sprints to deliver early visibility quickly, then iterates to add depth.
This is the reality of M&A. Whether they use legacy Sage 200, an out-of-support on-premise NAV, or disjointed spreadsheets, our approach extracts and standardises the data via Azure Integration Services. We build a unified reporting layer without forcing every company onto the same platform on day one.
Yes. If your fund or portfolio companies already have Power BI licences, we build on top of your existing investment. We can also consolidate fragmented, self-service reports into a governed, centrally managed reporting framework.
Buyers look for clean, auditable financial reporting as a sign of operational maturity. Decoupling reporting from broken legacy ERPs proves you have control of the data, reducing vendor due diligence friction and demonstrating reliable earnings quality.
No. Our authoritative stance is Data Abstraction over Immediate ERP Replacement. We focus on the reporting and analytics layer first. If an inherited legacy system replacement is needed later, extracting the data now buys you time to plan a structured rollout, ensuring you are not operating in the dark during a multi-year migration project.
All data flows through Azure, providing enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit. Operating partners see the full portfolio view; portfolio company management see only their own entity via row-level security.
Yes. Leveraging Dynamics 365 Finance integration architecture, we can automate multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation with complex intercompany elimination rules, completely removing error-prone spreadsheet roll-ups.
The best starting point is a Post-Acquisition Data Architecture Assessment. We audit the legacy data landscape across your new acquisitions, identify quick reporting wins, and deploy a target architecture that avoids long, painful ERP replacements.
