Implementation Project Management
Most ERP project managers work for the software vendor or the implementation partner, which means their incentives are not always aligned with yours. We provide independent project management whose only job is protecting your budget, timeline, and outcome, whoever else is in the room.
Who this is for
Organizations running an ERP or major systems project with an internal team or another vendor, who want independent oversight rather than a vendor grading its own work.
What's included
- Independent project governance and status reporting
- Budget, timeline, and vendor accountability tracking
- Risk and issue management across every workstream
- Steering committee and executive stakeholder alignment
How this engagement runs
Governance setup
We establish clear reporting lines, decision rights, and escalation paths before work starts, so problems surface early instead of at go-live.
Ongoing tracking
Budget, timeline, and vendor deliverables get tracked against the original plan, with variances flagged as they happen, not after the fact.
Executive reporting
We translate project status into plain language for your steering committee, without the spin a vendor-employed PM might apply to their own delays.
Illustrative example, not a client case study
Example engagement: a mid-size retailer's implementation partner reported the project as 'on track' for three consecutive months before an independent status review found it was six weeks behind on data migration. Reporting shifted to weekly milestone tracking against the original plan, and the remaining schedule was rebuilt around the real status.
