I offer my Project Management services as a very experienced consultant, who can master emergency situations occurring when projects have ”already gone awry” or when projects are in a crisis.

You might be caught in a political logjam and need an outsider to break the impasse. I'll help you discern and work through political and organizational issues, get team members to set aside their differences for the good of the project and take responsibility for the actions required to move the project forward.

I'll help both sides (customer and partner) finish the project.

If finishing the project with the current partner (or at all) isn't likely, I'll tell you that in about a week or two.

I combine business process knowledge with deep technical skills. I can look if what developers have done is congruent with what project manager is saying. I can tell about system design issues that might cost you in the future (and help partner solving them).

I'll help partner with development and project management issues.

By making sure project stays on track, I'll help customer sleep better at night.

In my career as an IT team lead, project manager, consultant and developer, I have acquired a highly remarkable communications skills, conflict and problem-solving capabilities that helped me put many troubled projects back on track.

If you are a customer

It is your project - you must have control. Too often projects get into trouble because of weak project management on the customer's side.

Managing a project takes time. You probably can't assign your most valuable person as a full-time project manager. But you can outsource this function.

I'll make sure you “stay on top” of the project to ensure goals and objectives are successfully met.

If you are a partner

I'll be happy to help you when your sales is too successful and you end up with too many projects at the same time.

Let me guide you through the main steps of successful ERP procurement:

• Producing an Outline Project Plan for the procurement.

• Assessing potential suppliers.
• Help you negotiate the contract.

Get your RFP done faster with my help.

Many companies that developed their own ERP solution are becoming Microsoft Navision implementation partners. If you are one of them, you already have good knowledge about ERP development and implementation. There are some specifics in running good Microsoft Navision team that impact its profitability. I'll share them with you by:

• Coaching your development and implementation team.
• Set-up standards for developing customizations and implementations.
• Show you how to develop with future upgrade in mind. Maintenance revenue can be one of the most profitable parts of your business. On the other hand it can also be the reason why customers are leaving you!
• Help you organize your team.

Get your Navision business profitable in less time with my help.

Sometimes independent implementation audit is needed. In 3-5 days you can get unbiased review of your implementation. I also include recommendations how to improve your solution.

Many times upgrading Microsoft Navision is a project nobody wants to do. I'm willing to help you with that.

In the past, Microsoft asked me to prepare a Navision upgrade training. I don't like those trainings where you just follow simple example. I did something different. I asked participants to bring their own databases and follow the example on them! After 3 days, more than 50% of them upgraded their customer's database!

• Designing major customizations (functional specifications and design of tables and code).
• Helping with support incidents for which you couldn't get satisfactory answer through PartnerSource.
