Transformation projects fail more often than they succeed, and it’s usually because they’re treated as technology projects when they’re really organizational change projects.

Alliance brings a different model:
Experienced consultants who understand both the technical and human side of change, who can lead the project and embed alongside your team through go-live and beyond.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Our Business Systems & Transformation teams work most often with:

  • PE-backed companies implementing a new ERP following a platform acquisition or carve-out
  • GovCon and defense organizations running on Deltek or transitioning between platforms
  • Companies going through audit cycles, IPO prep, or post-merger integration
  • Finance teams that have outgrown their current systems and need to upgrade without disrupting operations
  • Organizations emerging from an acquisition that need to integrate two disparate system environments

WHO WE WORK WITH

Why Alliance?

Most system integrators are great at the technology but underestimate the operational disruption and most management consultants understand the process but don’t get into the weeds of implementation. Alliance does both. Our consultants have functional finance and accounting backgrounds which means they design systems the way finance teams actually work, not the way a developer thinks they work.

Frequently Asked Questions

We help organizations modernize the systems and processes their finance and operations teams depend on from selecting and implementing the right ERP to redesigning the business processes around it and managing the organizational change that makes transformation stick. Alliance specializes in platforms commonly used by growth-stage and mid-market organizations, and we manage engagements from the very first decision through go-live and beyond.

ERP implementations fail to deliver what was promised because they’re usually treated as technology projects when they’re really organizational change projects. The system may go live, but if the processes weren’t redesigned, the people weren’t prepared, and the configuration doesn’t match how finance actually works, the promised efficiency never materializes. Alliance addresses all three dimensions together, which is why our implementations tend to land better.

Our consultants come from finance and accounting backgrounds, not just technology backgrounds. They’ve closed the books, managed the audit, and run the planning cycle. That means they configure systems the way finance teams actually work, and they understand the downstream accounting implications of every systems decision. You get the technical expertise and the functional depth in one team.

Most underperforming implementations have a recoverable gap between the system’s capability and how it was configured or adopted. Alliance conducts system assessments to identify exactly where the value is being left on the table and what it would take to capture it. The answer is often more achievable than organizations expect.

Yes, and we’d argue that separating those two is one of the main reasons transformations underdeliver. Technology implementations without change management tend to have low adoption. Change management without implementation expertise tends to produce plans that don’t connect to how the systems actually work. Alliance brings both together in one engagement.
