Your Dynamics investment. An independent voice on your side.
Magnetic can support your existing project manager or serve as your client-side project lead, bringing senior Dynamics experience and an understanding of how implementation partners operate.
For Business Central and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations programs, from early planning through go-live and transition.
Experienced client-side leadership, scaled to your project. Engagements typically average around 10 hours per week, with responsibilities and capacity agreed around your needs and critical milestones.
Senior Dynamics consultants with at least 10 years of Microsoft Dynamics experience.
An illustrative statement Magnetic validates.
Leadership hears UAT is on track. Magnetic checks critical end-to-end testing, identifies untested scenarios, and recommends closing gaps before approval.
Illustrative example only. Not client data or a promised outcome.
Independent
Advice aligned to the client’s business outcomes.
Ongoing
Oversight across project phases and decision gates.
Actionable
Recommendations leadership can use.
Client-side leadership that fits your team.
Client Project Assurance provides ongoing senior leadership and independent oversight, with the role matched to the client team you already have.
If you have a capable PM, Magnetic adds senior oversight, validates progress and readiness, and helps leadership make decisions. If you need an experienced client-side lead, we coordinate client responsibilities, manage decisions and escalations, and hold client and partner teams accountable.
The implementation partner manages its agreed delivery work, and client workstream leads own their tasks. We agree Magnetic’s responsibilities and authority at kickoff. Daily scheduling, follow-ups, and detailed project administration may require additional capacity.
Clear accountability
Clarify ownership, decision rights, and escalation.
Credible commitments
Review dependencies, capacity, and evidence behind milestones.
Earlier risk visibility
Raise emerging concerns while corrective options remain.
Business readiness
Evaluate people, processes, data, and support alongside the build.
The cost of drift goes beyond the project budget.
Unresolved decisions, missed dependencies, and readiness gaps can extend a project unnecessarily. Magnetic helps leadership surface these conditions early, assign ownership, and take corrective action while options remain.
We identify missing dependencies, escalate overdue decisions, challenge unsupported forecasts, and validate readiness before major commitments.
Additional spend — Costs keep accumulating
Extended consulting effort, rework, repeated testing, and overlapping legacy-system costs can increase the investment needed to finish.
Delayed business value — Benefits arrive later
Employees spend more time away from their normal responsibilities, while expected process improvements and business benefits remain out of reach.
Organizational strain — Momentum becomes harder to sustain
Employee fatigue, declining executive confidence, and strained partner relationships can weaken participation and readiness for change.
$126,000 in additional consulting fees.
That’s just one month: a four-week extension. 7 consultants × 20 additional hours per week × $225 per hour × 4 weeks = $126,000.
That’s just the consulting cost. Internal staff effort, overlapping systems, operational disruption, and delayed business benefits can add to the exposure.
Illustrative assumptions, not client results. $225/hour is an example rate, not a market average. Each month represents four weeks, with the same additional staffing throughout.

Early guidance can prevent expensive problems.
Magnetic helps identify and address the conditions that drive avoidable spending: unresolved decisions, missed dependencies, unnecessary customization, repeated rework, and premature milestone approvals.
Our guidance can help reduce additional consulting effort, avoid duplicated work, and protect the business benefits your project is intended to deliver.
A modest investment in prevention. Typical involvement averages around 10 hours per week at rates below $200 per hour. At a $200/hour reference rate, a four-week, 40-hour advisory commitment represents $8,000. Actual fees and capacity depend on the agreed scope.
Avoiding even one week of additional delivery effort would represent $31,500 in avoided consulting costs under the illustration above. That is the opportunity: find and address small problems before they become expensive failures.
Illustrative potential avoided costs, not client results or guaranteed savings. The example assumes 7 consultants working 20 additional hours each at $225/hour for one week. Assurance may continue across the project lifecycle, and additional involvement may be needed at critical milestones.
A deliberate delay can protect the business. Magnetic helps leadership prevent avoidable slippage and make sound readiness decisions. When evidence supports postponement, we make that recommendation clear.
Look beyond the schedule.
A milestone is meaningful only when the solution and the organization are ready for it.
Governance & decisions
Ownership, escalation, change control, and executive alignment.
Plan & commercial health
Dependencies, capacity, scope, budget exposure, and credible commitments.
Solution & architecture
Customization, integrations, security, and operational supportability.
Data & testing
Migration, reconciliation, end-to-end coverage, and quality evidence.
People & adoption
Training, role readiness, procedures, and business participation.
Cutover & support
Go-live criteria, contingency, transition, and operating readiness.
Validate the status. Address the gaps early.
Suppose testing reports look positive, but critical business scenarios have not been completed end to end.
Magnetic checks coverage and dependencies, surfaces the readiness gap, and identifies accountable owners and the evidence required before approving go-live. Addressing the gap early can reduce late rework, repeated testing, extended consulting costs, and disruption to business operations. Leadership can then decide whether to continue, add conditions, or revise the commitment.
Illustrative scenario, not a client case study. The goal is better-informed decisions; assurance does not guarantee a project outcome.

Capacity matched to the moment: Engagements typically average around 10 hours per week. Involvement increases around CRP, UAT, and go-live when needed. Responsibilities, advisory depth, and capacity are agreed for your program. Daily project administration or a broader leadership role may require more hours.
