Clear phases, clear gateways

A project is not a guessing game, and not a slide show.

The DGP methodology guides Business Central projects through clear phases, from analysis into operation. Three principles hold it up: senior-led control instead of advice, a data foundation that is cleaned up before migration, and AI that is built firmly into the approach. This keeps control over scope, schedule and budget with you.

Our proven methodology guides you step by step through every phase. We meet you where you are, navigate through decisions, propose solutions and take on delivery. We take control and take responsibility, instead of only advising, with Business Central as our home ground.

Three building blocks

One methodology, three parts.

Each part is its own page. Together they form the programme control your project needs.

01

Project methodology

The phases of a BC implementation, from analysis and gap-fit through data foundation, build and migration to go-live and operation, with clear outcomes per phase.

02

Consulting & Control

Programme and project management, risk, quality and budget management, and the governance that keeps schedule, budget and suppliers on your side.

03

AI-supported delivery

AI built firmly into the approach: we streamline project work with AI tools and our own programming, faster and more precise, at equal or higher quality.

We take control where others advise. Responsibility means making uncomfortable decisions early, not only at go-live.

What does not change

Three principles, in every phase.

01

Senior-led

The people in front of you have run transformations themselves. They are not learning on your project. Experience resolves conflicting goals before they surface at go-live.

02

Data foundation first

We separate the data foundation rigorously from the application and clean it up before migrating. First the foundation, then the system, then automation.

03

AI built in, not bolted on

AI accelerates project work on a clean data foundation, from analysis to testing. Control stays with people.

Our role in the project

Programme control is not advice.

How most firms work

  • Give recommendations, leave decisions open
  • Rotating junior staff on the project
  • Clarify processes only once the project is running
  • Treat go-live as the end of the project

How we work

  • Force decisions early and own them
  • Consistently senior-staffed, one mind at the wheel
  • Clarify processes and data foundation before building
  • See go-live as the start of stable operation
In day-to-day project work

What programme control achieves in a project.

Control

Scope and roadmap stay with you

You always know who makes which decision, and keep scope, schedule and budget in hand.

Pace

Fewer loops, clearer paths

Clarified processes and a clean data foundation save the costly correction rounds just before go-live.

Trust

Numbers the team follows

When Business Central delivers reliable numbers, acceptance grows from reliability, not from communication.

From over 25 years of project practice

Most ERP projects do not fail because of the technology.

They fail because of missing control, a messy data foundation and unclear processes. This is exactly where our methodology comes in, senior-led and with Business Central as our home ground.

Frequently asked questions

What decision-makers ask about the methodology.

Is your methodology tied to one industry?

No. The phases, control and governance hold regardless of the industry. What differs are processes and data model, and those are exactly what we clarify at the start.

Do you work together with our implementation partner?

Yes. We stay in control on your side and hold the implementation partner to account, technically and contractually, instead of replacing them.

Where does the methodology begin?

With an honest assessment of your situation, across scope, data, processes and responsibility. Only then comes the plan.
