ERP decisions are ten-year decisions. Make them with specialists.
Selecting D365. Rescuing a stalled program. Planning an AX, GP, or NAV upgrade. Deciding where AI fits your ERP estate. Avannte advisory gives you fit-gap clarity, architecture options, and a sequenced roadmap tied to business value, not license sales.
THE SERVICE
Independent D365 and AI counsel from practitioners
Fit-gap
before commitment
Every recommendation lands as a documented fit-gap with cost, risk, and upgrade impact, before you sign an SOW.
4 stages
engagement model
Briefing → discovery → pilot → scale. Advisory plugs in at any stage and hands off cleanly to delivery.
3X
faster delivery via agentic engineering
Our own delivery practice runs on agentic tooling. The advice reflects what we've proven in our own builds.
WHERE IT LANDS
Advisory engagements we run
Strategy, assessment, and program guidance across the ERP + AI estate.
ERP selection & modernization roadmap
Structured evaluation of D365 F&O, Business Central, and stay-vs-move options for legacy AX, GP, NAV, or non-Microsoft ERPs, supported by an AI-assisted modernization navigator.
Industries
Manufacturing
Distribution & Logistics
Retail
Evidence beats opinion
Our modernization navigator analyzes process inventories, customization estates, and integration maps to surface what actually blocks a move. Then we sequence the roadmap in value-first waves.
A decision both signatures trust
Licensing, TCO, risk, and readiness analysis in one document the CFO and CIO can both sign.
Program rescue & health check
Independent review of a stalled or over-budget D365 program: scope, architecture, data migration readiness, partner performance, and a corrective plan.
Industries
Manufacturing
Retail
Professional Services
Troubled programs share three root causes
Unowned process decisions, underestimated data migration, and customization sprawl. We find which apply, quantify them, and re-plan around them.
Momentum restored
A re-baselined plan with clear ownership, de-scoped noise, and honest go-live criteria.
AI readiness & governance for the ERP estate
Assessment of data, security, governance, and workflow readiness for AI on top of ERP, with approval gates, logging, and human-in-the-loop design.
Industries
Manufacturing
Financial Services
Healthcare
AI that survives an audit
Model boundaries, permission models, escalation rules, and evidence logging defined before the first agent ships. Governance as a design input, not a retrofit.
Green-lit by risk, not blocked by it
A governance matrix your compliance team co-authors, mapped to the workflows you actually want to automate.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Advisory deliverables
Current-state assessment
2-4 weeks
Process inventory, systems map, customization and integration audit, data-quality snapshot, and pain-point ranking.
Fit-gap & solution options
Decide
D365 module mapping with documented gaps, build-vs-buy-vs-wait calls, and licensing guidance.
Architecture & integration blueprint
Design
Target architecture across D365, Azure, Dataverse, and the AI layer, including MES, EDI, banking, and legacy touchpoints.
AI opportunity map
Extend
Ranked AI use cases on the ERP estate, scored for value, feasibility, data readiness, and governance load.
Sequenced roadmap & business case
Commit
Wave plan with dependencies, estimates, and success metrics. Board-ready.
Governance & HITL design
Govern
Approval gates, permissions, logging, model boundaries, and escalation rules for safe AI use (2-6 week module).
IMPACT
What good advisory prevents and unlocks
Decide once
Rework avoided
Documented fit-gap and architecture decisions prevent the mid-program reversals that sink ERP budgets.
Wave 1 pays
Value-first sequencing
Roadmaps ordered so early waves fund later ones, starting with the workflow where proof is fastest.
Audit-ready
AI without governance debt
Controls designed in from the start, so scaling AI doesn't mean re-litigating risk every quarter.
PROOF
From scattered ideas to a shipped roadmap
