Why DeFacto365?
At DeFacto365, we empower businesses to successfully navigate their ERP journeys by providing structured project governance and expert coaching. Our approach ensures ERP implementations are aligned with business goals, well-managed, and ultimately successful.
With 25 years of experience in technology, including 18 years specifically in ERP with Dynamics 365 Business Central, I’ve had the opportunity to support organizations of all sizes through major digital transformation initiatives. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of partners, giving me a broad, realistic, and unbiased view of the technology ecosystem.
I’ve built my reputation on core values: transparency, professionalism, and integrity. For me, every engagement is a partnership, and client satisfaction is always the top priority.
A strategic approach to shaping your technological future.
In a constantly evolving environment, SMEs must regularly rethink their processes, tools, and systems to remain agile and competitive. At DeFacto365, we act as a strategic partner to support executives in building a clear, coherent, and business-aligned digital vision.
1. Current State and Identification of Pain Points
We begin with a meeting with the leadership team to understand their view of the current state, along with the key challenges and pain points.
Next, we shift the focus to the future, exploring the desired corporate and technological vision. We also meet with key stakeholders to identify day-to-day operational obstacles. This dual perspective — strategic and operational — allows for a complete and objective understanding of the organization.
2. Definition and Prioritization of Needs
The goal is not to replicate the current setup, but to define the organization’s real business needs, independently of the tools currently in place. This neutral and solution-agnostic approach allows for a realistic target state.
Once the needs are clearly defined, we prioritize them based on business value, evaluating:
– Potential return on investment;
– Impact on efficiency or customer experience;
– Feasibility within the organizational context.
This prioritization is critical to shaping a phased and realistic transformation plan, knowing that not everything can be addressed in the first phase.
3. Clarifying the Short- and Mid-Term Vision
Once the needs are validated and prioritized, we consolidate the findings to build a coherent enterprise-level vision that rises above individual requirements.
We then develop a structured roadmap including:
– An enterprise-wide digital vision;
– Transformation phases;
– Organizational impacts;
– Indicative budgets;
– A realistic implementation timeline.
This vision becomes a key decision-making tool for executives, enabling better technology choices, investment planning, and team engagement.
Whether it’s an ERP, CRM, RFID project or any other type of technology initiative, success depends on solid preparation, smart decision-making, and strong governance. At DeFacto365, we firmly believe that you don’t build a house without a foundation.
Our role is to support you before, during, and after the project kickoff to maximize your chances of success — by staying on track with timelines, budgets, and business goals.
1. Prepare the project methodically
Even before the kickoff, we help structure the project in a rigorous and objective way. This stage, similar to our Digital Vision Creation service, lays the foundation:
– Analysis of the current state and pain points;
– Definition of business needs (regardless of existing tools);
– Prioritization of requirements based on value and impact;
– Budget estimation and realistic timeline planning.
2. Selection of the solution and implementation partner
Once business needs are clearly defined, we assist in selecting the right solutions and partners for your context:
– Recommendation of solutions aligned with your functional and technological goals;
- Comparative evaluation of potential vendors and partners;
– Support in drafting RFPs or requirement documents (if needed);
– Guidance throughout the evaluation and decision-making process.
Our approach is neutral and independent, ensuring an objective selection aligned with your priorities.
3. Active governance during project execution
Once the project is underway, we stay engaged to support successful delivery. Our involvement is flexible and tailored to your internal capacity:
– Coaching of the internal sponsor on key responsibilities and warning signs;
- Identification and monitoring of project risks;
– Participation in project steering and executive committees (especially in ERP contexts);
– Support in tracking deliverables, timelines, and budgets.
We adjust our role based on your team’s maturity — acting as a strategic co-pilot or as a targeted advisor. The goal remains the same: to ensure a well-managed project that delivers value to your organization.
