The Problem with Traditional ERP
The Issue Isn't the Software — It's the Delivery Model.
For decades, ERP implementation has meant extended scoping cycles, opaque consultant-led projects, cost blowouts, and businesses left dependent on support agreements they never wanted to need.

Cost overruns from time-based billing. Long-term consultant dependency. No knowledge transferred. Scope creep and unpredictable timelines. These are predictable outcomes of an outdated model — not inevitable facts of implementing Business Central.
