ERP implementations fail for predictable reasons: weak project leadership, undefined processes, unrealistic timelines, poor testing, rushed cutovers, and zero adoption planning. PRH Consulting steps in as senior, owner-side leadership to make sure those failure modes never get a chance.
We do not replace your software vendor or implementation partner — we make them effective. Our consultants represent the client across every workstream: finance, manufacturing, distribution, inventory, integrations, reporting, and IT. We hold the implementation accountable to the business case the project was funded against.
Our deepest experience is Sage X3, but we have led, recovered, and modernized projects across JD Edwards, NetSuite migrations, and a long list of legacy ERP platforms. The discipline is the same: define what good looks like, drive every workstream toward it, and protect the go-live.
Who this is for
- Companies starting a new ERP implementation
- Organizations recovering from a failed or stalled project
- Mid-market manufacturers and distributors going live across multiple entities
- Finance leaders standing up new GL, multi-company, and intercompany structures
- Operations teams replacing fragmented systems with a unified ERP
- Migrations off JD Edwards, legacy SAP, AS/400, or aging on-premise platforms
What we deliver
Owner-Side Project Leadership
Senior project leadership representing your interests across every vendor, workstream, and decision point.
Business Process Design
Future-state process design that becomes the blueprint for configuration, integration, and training.
Configuration Oversight
Independent review of vendor configuration decisions across finance, inventory, manufacturing, and distribution.
Data Migration Strategy
Item, customer, vendor, balance, history, and transactional data cleansed, mapped, validated, and loaded with discipline.
Integration Architecture
Design and oversight for connections to banking, EDI, e-commerce, WMS, CRM, BI, and operational systems.
Testing Strategy
Functional, integration, end-to-end, and user acceptance testing — with documented scenarios and exit criteria.
Cutover & Go-Live Planning
Detailed cutover plan, dress rehearsals, hypercare staffing, and a clear command structure for go-live week.
User Adoption & Training
Role-based training, SOPs, change management, and post-go-live reinforcement so the system actually sticks.
Our approach
Lead from the business
Every decision is anchored in the business case the project was funded against, not vendor convenience.
Hold every workstream accountable
We track scope, schedule, risk, and quality across all parties — and surface problems early, in plain language.
Engineer the go-live
Cutovers are rehearsed, not improvised. We refuse to go live until exit criteria are objectively met.
Stabilize before optimizing
Hypercare, issue triage, and operational stabilization come first. Optimization is the next phase, not a distraction.
Outcomes you can expect
- Implementations that go live on plan and stay stable
- Recovered projects that finally cross the finish line
- Configuration aligned to documented, future-state business processes
- Trusted data in production from day one
- Higher user adoption and faster return on the ERP investment
