As the holiday lights twinkle and the pace quickens, I wanted to set down my digital suitcases for a moment and let my fingers fly across the keyboard to send you a more personal message.
The year coming to a close has been a true long-distance run, and we too often forget to look back at how far we’ve come.
In this period of transition, my wish for you goes beyond simple professional success. Above all, I wish you the luxury and the pleasure of presence:

Presence to yourself, to recharge your batteries, take care of yourself, and catch your breath.
Presence to others, to savor those precious moments of sharing slices of life that cannot be scheduled in a planner.
Presence to the moment, to appreciate the stillness between two chapters of life.

If this space of sharing lives and evolves, it is thanks to your presence and our exchanges on LinkedIn. I sincerely wanted to thank you for being part of my network and my daily life as readers or colleagues.

May these few days bring you the serenity needed to approach the new year with boldness and kindness.

Changing ERP partners: the takeover method, illustrated with Business Central

When a new partner takes over an ERP project, the company faces custom code with no source, batch jobs that fail silently and knowledge held by a handful of key users. Using a Business Central project as an example, this article describes the symptoms of a poorly prepared takeover, their causes and the conditions to demand before support changes hands.

#Scope creep always starts with a reasonable request

A shipping window that almost derailed an entire project

At an aggregates producer, a simple "business as usual" shipping window nearly disrupted standard stock handling. Using this real-life example, the article demonstrates how a legitimate request can become "scope creep," how to distinguish between scope creep, clarification, and oversight, and what practices allow for maintaining scope without alienating the various departments.

ERP projects: user training decides whether Business Central is adopted

Training comes at the end of the plan, when the budget is stretched, and it is often the first line to be cut. Yet it decides whether Business Central is adopted or bypassed. This article describes the symptoms after go-live, their costs, their root causes and an approach built on key users and on the company's real data.
