Your Business Central project is in trouble. It can be fixed.
Over budget, behind schedule, or live but broken — Cateran gives you an independent senior assessment, a realistic plan, and a senior team that stays until it works.
It's rarely the software
Business Central is a capable platform. Projects go wrong because of decisions made around it — usually early, and usually by people who have since moved on.
Having led and delivered 80+ NAV and Business Central implementations, Cateran knows what a healthy project looks like, so the problems are faster to find.
- Requirements that were never really understood — the system was configured for how someone assumed you work.
- Over-customization — code written to avoid hard process decisions, now fragile and expensive to change.
- Data migrated without a plan — dirty masters, broken opening balances, missing history.
- Integrations built as an afterthought — no error handling, no monitoring, no owner.
- Junior delivery after a senior sale — the experts you met weren't the people who did the work.
Stabilize first. Then fix the root causes.
Triage
A short, independent review of your environment, setup, code, data and integrations — and interviews with the people using it.
Rescue plan
A written report: what's wrong, why, what to keep, what to fix, and a prioritized plan with realistic estimates.
Stabilize
Fix what's stopping the business first — closing the books, shipping orders, paying people, broken integrations.
Recover
Address root causes, simplify customizations, clean data and train users so the system holds up long-term.
What you get from the assessment
- An honest status of your project
- Root causes, not just symptoms
- Options with tradeoffs and costs
- A plan your CFO can approve
Taking over from another partner
Your environment, data and licenses belong to you. Cateran helps you plan an orderly handover of access, code, documentation and open issues — without drama.
Who does the work
The principal who runs the assessment leads the recovery, with senior Business Central consultants and developers from our team assigned to each workstream in the plan.
Rescue questions
Can we switch Business Central partners in the middle of an implementation?
Yes. Your Business Central environment, data and licenses belong to you. Cateran starts with an independent assessment, then helps you plan an orderly handover of access, code and documentation.
Do we have to start the implementation over?
Rarely. Most failing projects have a sound core with specific problems in data, setup, customizations or integrations. The assessment identifies what to keep, what to fix and what to remove.
Our system is already live. Is it too late?
No. Many rescues happen after go-live, when problems show up in month-end close, inventory accuracy or integrations. Cateran stabilizes daily operations first, then fixes root causes.
Will you tell us if the problem is on our side?
Yes. A rescue only works with an honest diagnosis. If the issue is internal process, ownership or data, you'll hear it — along with practical ways to fix it.
How is a rescue priced?
Every rescue is different. The assessment is scoped after an initial call, and you'll receive a written proposal before any work begins.
