ERP consulting · Dubai, UAE

An ERP consultant in Dubai who sat on your side of the table sixty times.

What I sell is delivery experience: what happens after the contract is signed, where the cost is buried in the clauses, and which decision quietly costs you six months. The price of it is that it stays straight with you even when that is unwelcome.

01

System selection, from someone who implemented them

The shortlist is not the hard part. Knowing what each one costs you in year three is.

I read your operation, then put the candidates — Odoo, Dynamics 365, SAP and the rest — into one written comparison against criteria you can measure. Sometimes the answer is that you should not buy anything, and I will say so before you have paid a licence fee.

What you get

  • A written requirements analysis, not a slide deck
  • A comparison matrix scored on measurable criteria
  • True cost of ownership including implementation and running
  • One recommendation, and the stated reason each alternative lost
02

Client-side project management

Signing the contract is the start of the risk, not the end of it.

I act as your project manager facing the implementer: watching quality, holding the schedule and the budget, and turning what the technical team just said into a decision you are actually equipped to make.

What you get

  • Scope and contract review before you sign
  • Weekly governance and delivery checkpoints with the vendor
  • User acceptance testing against written pass criteria
  • A monthly status report in management language, not developer language
03

Recovering a stalled implementation

The system does not work and the money is spent. Do not start over.

A root-cause diagnosis of where it broke — the software, the process, or the decision that preceded both — and a recovery plan that keeps as much of the existing investment as the facts allow.

What you get

  • Written root-cause diagnosis inside two weeks
  • A stated verdict: repair, re-implement, or replace
  • A recovery plan with owners, dates and priorities
  • Delivery oversight until the system is stable in production

How it starts

  1. 01

    Diagnostic call

    Thirty minutes on where you are. No charge, no commitment.

  2. 02

    Written assessment

    A document describing the problem as it is, not as anyone hoped.

  3. 03

    Plan and scope

    What gets done, what does not, how long it takes, what it costs.

  4. 04

    Delivery and follow-through

    Regular presence until the system is how the company actually runs.

Where I work

Dubai is the base, and most clients are UAE companies in manufacturing, contracting, trading and distribution. The rest of the sixty sit in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Workshops, requirement sessions and go-live weeks happen on site in the Emirates; governance, vendor review and written assessment work happens wherever you are.

That matters for one practical reason. VAT, the e-invoicing mandate and the free-zone versus mainland distinction are the details a Gulf implementation gets wrong late and expensively, and they are not the questions a consultant working from another market thinks to ask early.

Where I stand, before you ask

I am General Manager of Absolute ERP. So one of the systems on the shortlist is mine, and you should weigh what I tell you accordingly. You would have found that out on LinkedIn before the call anyway — better you read it here first.

How it is handled is simple, and it is a term of the work rather than a promise about my character. Absolute is scored on the same written criteria as every other candidate, and named as mine on the page where the comparison appears. If the answer for you is Odoo, or Dynamics, or keeping what you already run and fixing the process around it, that is the answer in the document. You are also free to take the comparison and run the selection without me.

The reason to believe any of that is not this paragraph. It is the case studies and post-mortems on this site, published under my own name, that say which implementations failed and why — including the ones I was running at the time.

Start with the diagnostic call

Thirty minutes on where you actually are. If you do not need a consultant, I will tell you that on the call.
