A mid-sized, PE-backed healthcare communications agency on a rapid growth path needed an Oracle Netsuite CRM and ERP implementation, a critical step in its overall digital transformation. The existing project was failing, costs and timelines had overrun by over 300% with no delivery in sight.
The agency had fallen out with the vendor and with no governance, internal experience of managing Change and badly gathered requirements, there was no clear path to delivery. The target operating model was poorly defined and new business processes (Operational and Financial) were still in development. Adding to the pressure was the acquisition of three further businesses globally and the cultural fatigue from lack of vendor steer and clarity.
We re-scoped, reprioritised and re-planned all digital transformation deliverables for CRM, Finance, Project Management, Resource Management and HR. We developed a new and detailed milestone plan, bringing the management team, key suppliers and partners together to ‘own’ parts of the plan. We managed the vendor very tightly indeed, negotiating additional support (cost-free) and reducing contractual software license spend. Working as ‘part of the investee’ team in a sleeves up approach we got the organisation moving in the right direction. Initiating and managing a phased approach, we created a “Change Adopter” atmosphere across the firm whilst integrating five businesses onto the solution.

ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURER
Panamoure Consulting was approached by a PE fund to perform a pre-acquisition IT Due Diligence review on an upcoming lower mid-cap target who designed and manufactured electronic component boards for the defence, aviation, automotive and energy sectors.
HEALTHCHECK SAVES FIRM FROM POTENTIAL £10M OVERSPEND
PE investors in a global manufacturing and logistics firm were concerned that the Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP implementation underway was over budget and underperforming so asked Panamoure to undertake a health check of the implementation.
HEALTH CHECK RECOVERS FAILING ERP PROJECT
A small business carve-out had a transitional service agreement (TSA) to decouple itself from the parent company systems within 6 months of separation. A project manager had been hired to help get the system delivered but 4 months in, the deadline was looming and the Sage 500 ERP project was heading for failure.
