We invested and it isn't working
“Our ERP go-live is slipping and the steering committee has gone quiet.”
Go-live is a few months away. The steering committee has not met in weeks, data migration keeps getting pushed, testing is behind, and the integrator's status reports stay green. Nobody wants to be the one to say the date is not real.
Request a Situation ReviewWhat you're facing
- •A steering committee that has stopped meeting — or meets without making decisions.
- •Status reports that stay green while the team says otherwise.
- •Data migration and testing squeezed into the final weeks.
- •Key users pulled back into their day jobs.
What it's costing you
- •A go-live that stops shipping, invoicing, or production for days or weeks.
- •Budget overruns from extended integrator time and rework.
- •Customer disruption when orders and deliveries slip.
- •A workforce that loses faith in the system before it starts.
The questions you're probably asking
- •Is our go-live date still realistic?
- •How far behind are we really?
- •Should we delay, reduce scope, or push through?
- •Who should be making these decisions?
Answer these before you spend another dollar
- 1When did the steering committee last make a decision — and what was it?
- 2What percentage of test scripts have passed with real, migrated data?
- 3Are key users actually available to the project this month?
- 4What are the go/no-go criteria, and who signs them?
- 5What does the integrator's own team say off the record?
How we solve it
The Exceleor Path, tailored to your situation
We give leadership an independent, honest read of where the project really stands, restore governance and decision-making, and set go/no-go criteria that protect the business.
Discovery
Understand the problem, measure where things stand today, and agree on what success looks like.
In your situation: An independent health check of scope, data migration, testing, readiness, and governance.
Define the engagement path
Most organizations don't know the path. We do. A proven method, tailored to your situation.
In your situation: A recovery plan with clear options: re-plan, re-scope, or proceed — with the risks of each.
Training
Bring your people to a clear understanding of what is changing and why.
In your situation: Key users and super-users prepared for cutover and the first weeks of live operation.
Implement and engage
Carry out the work jointly, with your people involved from day one.
In your situation: Governance restored: decision rights, a working steering cadence, and honest reporting.
Verify
Confirm the work was done and meets the requirement.
Validate
Confirm the original problem is actually solved, measured against the success measures from Discovery.
Transfer ownership
We collaborate throughout, so your team can run it without us.
In your situation: An internal team equipped to run the system — and the next phase — after go-live.
Sustain and grow
We stay close, check in, and catch the next need early. We're here to make sure you succeed.
What you'll have at the end
- An honest, independent view of project status.
- A steering committee that meets and decides.
- Go/no-go criteria that protect shipping, invoicing, and production.
- A go-live the business survives — and a system people trust.
