SERVICE 02 · DIAGNOSE & STABILIZE

ERP Diagnosis & Stabilization

From pre-implementation diagnosis to stable post-implementation operation, we own the full ERP lifecycle.
A pre-implementation assessment analyzes AS-IS processes and data to set an implementation/migration execution strategy. We diagnose the cause behind projects stalled or delayed by other vendors and stabilize them, and a dedicated maintenance framework supports your ERP asset — from version upgrades to functional enhancement and field-issue response.

We identify what's actually wrong with evidence before we touch anything. A pass-through test surfaces improvement items, and we lay out the priorities and execution plan.

LIFECYCLE

Before implementation, in a crisis, during operation — we support every moment of ERP

BEFORE · PRE-IMPLEMENTATION

Pre-Implementation Assessment

We identify key issues before the project kicks off and set an execution strategy that reflects budget, schedule, and staffing.

RESCUE · IN A CRISIS

Stalled Project Rescue

We diagnose and remediate Microsoft ERP projects stalled or in dispute with other vendors, and carry them through to go-live.

AFTER · IN OPERATION

Dedicated Maintenance

From the help desk to on-site diagnosis and training, we handle everything under a single framework, from intake to resolution.

01 · PRE-DIAGNOSIS

Before you start implementing, we diagnose the conditions for success

We diagnose pain points in current operations, identify where process innovation is possible, and propose Best Practice-based improvements together with a realistic execution plan.

STEP 1

AS-IS Process Analysis

We reorganize the current process classification and identify the business's demand for innovation.

STEP 2

Best Practice Discovery

We define issues in core processes and derive industry-specific Best Practices.

STEP 3

GAP Analysis

We identify where gaps occur in the process and analyze their primary causes.

STEP 4

Implementation Plan

We build an innovation model and overall implementation plan to address the root causes.

Deliverables — Business-innovation opportunities and improvement items, process-change initiatives, and an implementation/migration execution strategy that reflects budget, schedule, and staffing. This also includes an assessment of the feasibility of rescuing a stalled project.
02 · DIAGNOSTIC METHODOLOGY

For an already-implemented D365 F&O, we run a precision diagnosis across four dimensions

We gather test cases through interviews and actually run a pass-through (CRP) test, evaluating four areas module by module and identifying improvement items. It's not a document review — we run the system directly and judge from that.

AREA 01

Master Data

  • Check whether key masters are configured per module and confirm their integrity
  • List-type masters — items, BOM, routing, customers, vendors, chart of accounts
  • Setup-type masters — posting profiles, warehouses, item groups, inventory model groups
AREA 02

Process

  • Confirm the integrity of the process design
  • Confirm integration with upstream/downstream modules, given ERP's nature
  • Confirm whether any key process is missing
AREA 03

Operating Skill

  • Confirm proficiency in handling each process step
  • Assess understanding of the purpose and management of key control fields on screen
  • Confirm whether reverse processes such as cancellation can be handled
AREA 04

Customizing

  • Confirm whether development items specified in the To-Be document were actually developed
  • Judged on whether they function correctly
  • Internal consistency analysis of the development itself is out of scope
Evaluation AreaLEVEL 0LEVEL 1LEVEL 2LEVEL 3LEVEL 4LEVEL 5
Master DataNot configuredConfigured but poorly understoodUnderstood but poorly managedCan only add entriesCan change as neededCan analyze at a consultant level
ProcessNo processCan only perform individual tasksCan operate the overall processCan correct exceptionsCan handle additional tasksCan design new processes
Operating SkillCannot perform the taskOnly familiar with menusCan handle simple tasksUnderstands the task but weak on error handlingCan handle including errorsCan even analyze customizations
CustomizingNot applied or produces errors— no intermediate levels evaluated —Functions correctly
Diagnostic Deliverables — an evaluation chart by module (area × level) and a list of improvement items. Improvement items are categorized as master data cleanup, process training, development items, Power Platform replacement, or Local Pack application.

Standard Diagnostic Timeline — About 36 Business Days

10D

Kick-off & Business Analysis

  • Business overview and team-by-team consultant assignment
  • Analysis of the To-Be process document and issue list
  • Development list analysis, QA environment check
  • Live data migration to QA

Pass-Through Scenario Writing

  • Writing team-by-team CRP scenarios
  • Writing test cases and compiling the development list
  • Building an integrated process map
  • Confirming whether existing Local Pack source needs removal
10D

Pass-Through Testing

  • Running a pass-through test that chains the test cases
  • Analyzing/testing development source code
  • User training in parallel where needed
10D

Results Evaluation & Improvement Items

  • Team-by-team diagnostic evaluation (level rating by area)
  • Building the module-by-module evaluation chart
  • Deriving improvement items and priorities
03 · PROJECT RESCUE

We diagnose stalled projects and carry them through to go-live

We've diagnosed and improved Microsoft ERP projects stalled by other vendors, stabilizing projects that were in dispute. We restore normal operation through the sequence: cause diagnosis → remediation development → CRP verification → cut-over re-planning.

Restaurant franchise · AX2009RESCUE

Company-owned store daily-close data errors

ProblemDaily-close aggregation errors in the store performance analysis system reduced data reliability
Action · ResultAnalyzed and fixed the aggregation error's root cause, and developed a Daily Performance View for company-owned stores and franchisees
Retail distribution · AX2009RESCUE

Inconsistent inventory, sales, and collection totals

ProblemStore inventory/sales aggregation errors, and inconsistent shipment amounts under weighted-average costing
Action · ResultFixed the daily-close batch logic to align POS and ERP data, and established marking/return processes
Biotech manufacturing · AX2012RESCUE

No inventory management process

ProblemNo inventory management process after order (purchase/sales/production) registration; the finance module was unused
Action · ResultRe-established and applied sales/purchase/production inventory processes to the system, and proposed a D365 F&O upgrade
Consumer goods manufacturing · D365 F&ORESCUE

System outage right after go-live

ProblemInsufficient CRP led to numerous system errors; master data and opening balance errors caused an outage
Action · ResultDiagnosed remediation items, spent 5 months fixing programs, then went live again through user training, CRP verification, and a re-planned cut-over

※ These are rescue cases from projects implemented by other vendors, identified by industry to protect client confidentiality.
