Foundry
Foundry is the owner's representative for NetSuite, Dynamics, SAP and POS programs. Your systems integrator builds and configures. We run your side of the table: the plan, the decisions, the data, the testing, and the go-live call.
An ERP program has two sides. The integrator's side is fully staffed: an engagement lead, solution architects, a bench of consultants, their own PMO. The client's side is usually one IT director doing this for the first time, on top of a day job.
That gap has a price. Every week of drift is billable. Every scope gap comes back as a change order, priced once you can no longer walk away. Status gets written by the people being measured. None of this makes your integrator dishonest. It makes them the other side of a commercial relationship.
The numbers are public: Panorama's annual survey puts 42% of programs over their timeline, and Rand Group prices the recovery of a failed implementation at 150 to 200% of the original budget. Someone who has run this playbook dozens of times has to sit on your side. That is the whole firm.
Every engagement below was run from the client's side of the table. Full write-ups behind each card: what we walked into, what we did, what it measured.
A phased POS rollout across India, the UAE and the UK, after the client's own first attempt failed in pilot. Four waves, overnight cutovers, festival peaks blacked out.
Full client-side PMO for a three-DC distributor moving off 15 years of Sage: SOW renegotiated before signature, data run as its own workstream, UAT built from real order history.
Takeover of a Dynamics 365 program 14 months into a 12-month plan, 60% over budget, internal PM gone. Two-week audit, honest re-baseline, SI renegotiation.
Selection and negotiation for a first ERP under a customer traceability mandate. Demos forced onto the client's five ugliest scenarios; the best demo lost.
Two weeks · fixed fee
Before you sign the SOW, or the moment something feels off in a live program.
A re-baselined plan, your contract reviewed against our 18 commercial red flags, a risk report with owners and aging, and a week-by-week map of the next 90 days. Written, and yours to keep either way. The fee credits toward a retainer if we continue.
Monthly retainer · scoped to the program
You are about to start an implementation, or just did, and the client side of the table is thin.
We run your side end to end: governance and the decision log, the data workstream, UAT built from your real transactions, cutover rehearsal, and a hypercare exit gate.
Starts with the Health Check
Milestones slipping, budget past plan with no re-baseline, and trust with the integrator thinning.
An independent read of where the program actually is, then we take the wheel on your side: reset the plan, force the aged decisions, hold the gates. Recovery is cheaper the earlier it starts, and we will tell you if a clean pause is the right call.
If ERP program management is a permanent, multi-phase need for your company, you should hire, not retain us. Our own calculator says so, and we will too.
These are the spreadsheets and checklists we run programs with, formulas included. If you never hire us, use them anyway.
Eighteen contract clauses that cost money later, as a scored sheet with a verdict. Run your draft SOW through it before signature.
Open the sheet →Twenty symptom statements, rated 0 to 2, scored to a red, amber, or green read. Ten minutes, no vendor in the room.
Open the sheet →A budget model with the lines the quote leaves out: backfill, data cleanup, contingency. Plus hire-versus-firm with the empty-seat months priced in. It recommends hiring when hiring wins.
Open the sheet →The sequencing model built on the 108-site program: readiness gates, blackout months, wave logic, live counts. Sanitized, formulas intact.
Open the sheet →Forty pre-written scenarios that break implementations, with a defect log and pass-rate math. If your integrator's test plan looks nothing like it, that is finding number one.
Open the sheet →Seven nine-figure ERP failures, annotated: what the contract said, what broke, and which red flag would have caught it.
Email for the PDF →The sheets open view-only. To work in one, use File → Make a copy and it is yours. Or email anmol@foundryme.com and we send the full pack.
Foundry is led by Anmol Agarwal. Ex-Bain. Behind her, a team that has run 50+ transformation projects across ERP, finance systems, and operations. The delivery bench is senior ERP operators, not analysts learning on your budget.
Founder-led: the person you meet is the person in your steering meeting. We keep the roster small enough for that to stay true, and we take no software commissions and no referral fees from integrators. The only side we are paid by is yours.
Two lines is enough. Which platform, where the program stands, and the thing you would not put in the steering deck.
