RAPID 30 · Business Central

Finance and operations on one system, sooner.

RAPID 30 delivers a controlled release of Business Central: the processes you need to run the business, live and in use, without an eighteen-month programme to get there.

We check the fit before we agree a date or a price.

Sound familiar?

The system is not quite wrong. You've just outgrown  it.

Most people asking about a faster ERP route have a date and a tired finance team.

  • Month end takes longer than it should

    Numbers get rebuilt in spreadsheets before anyone trusts them enough to report.

  • Finance and operations do not agree

    Stock, orders and the ledger tell three different stories on the same day.

  • The current system is holding the business back

    It works, just about, and everybody has a workaround they would rather not explain.

  • You have been quoted eighteen months before

    And you cannot see why replacing a finance and operations system should take that long.

  • You need a date you can actually plan around

    A year end, a lease ending or a group deadline is driving this, not a roadmap.

How it runs

Seven steps, from first conversation to live.

Scope, boundary and price are agreed before delivery starts.

  1. We agree what the release covers: Which processes and which companies. Named clearly so scope cannot drift quietly.
  2. We check the fit: How closely finance, purchasing, sales and inventory match standard Business Central, and what would need building.
  3. We look at the data early: Balances, masters and open transactions. Data is the usual reason a compressed timeline slips.
  4. We agree scope, boundary and price: A fee against the qualified release scope, with what sits outside it written down.
  5. You see it working with your own data: Short cycles, real users, real transactions, so assumptions get corrected while they are cheap.
  6. We prove readiness before go-live: Testing, cutover rehearsal and training. Nobody goes live on optimism.
  7. Live, supported, then improved: The release is the foundation. Later phases follow when the business case supports them.

Target market

Who is RAPID 30 designed for?

RAPID 30 suits organisations moving to Dynamics 365 Business Central where the release can be contained and the operating model can stay close to standard.

Organisation profile

Small and mid-market organisations outgrowing their current system

Typically businesses where finance, sales and operations have been handled in separate tools, spreadsheets or an ageing ERP that no longer fits.

  • Turnover and transaction volume that justify a true ERP
  • One to a few entities or sites under a single operating model
  • Finance, purchasing, sales and inventory as the core need
  • An owner or finance lead able to make process decisions

Situation

A clear reason the date matters

RAPID 30 exists for organisations with a deadline they cannot move, not for teams who simply want to go faster.

  • A current system reaching end of support or end of contract
  • A year end, audit or group deadline driving the decision
  • A new entity, acquisition or carve-out that needs a platform
  • A previous implementation that stalled and needs a controlled restart

Readiness

Able to decide at the pace the method needs

The compressed timeline works because decisions are made in days rather than weeks. That is a business commitment, not a project one.

  • A named sponsor who can settle process disputes quickly
  • Process owners released from day one, not borrowed occasionally
  • Willingness to adopt standard Business Central where local practice is not commercially special
  • Data owners identified before migration work begins

Where it is the wrong choice

  • Requirements that are still being discovered rather than confirmed
  • Heavy bespoke development that cannot be deferred past go-live
  • Multi-country statutory and tax variation in the first release
  • Data that has never been reconciled and has no clear owner
  • Organisations mid-restructure where the operating model is still moving
  • Programmes where no single person can make a final decision

If your situation sits in this column, we will say so before a date or a price is agreed rather than discover it in week six.

The trade you are making

Speed comes from an agreed scope.

Both lists are written down before anyone commits.

In the release

  • Core finance, purchasing, sales and inventory
  • Reporting people can act on
  • Approvals and role-based access
  • Balances, masters and open transactions migrated
  • Training and go-live support

Sequenced for later

  • Complex manufacturing and advanced warehouse
  • Large or undesigned integration landscapes
  • Multi-country statutory and tax variation
  • Deep historic data beyond what is needed to operate
  • Heavy bespoke development and advanced analytics

Four points where we stop and check

Acceleration continues only while it is still safe.

Each gate has it's own purpose.

Is a faster route honestly right for you?
Gate 1Before anything is agreed

Is a faster route honestly right for you?

The point where we say yes, yes with conditions, or not yet.

Confirmed at this gate

  • The first-release processes are agreed and contained
  • Standard capability covers most of what is needed
  • The people who decide are available and the data can be provided

Decision

  • Proceed with an agreed first release
  • Proceed once named gaps close
  • A standard or assessed route instead
