Go live on SAP Business One with confidence:
MTC’s Implementation methodology

MTC works with your team to understand processes, data and management goals, then develops an actionable business blueprint. Scope, milestones and deliverables give management a clear view of progress and help business users prepare for each stage.

Why does MTC insist on a Blueprint first?

The Blueprint maps out exactly how your business should run inside SAP Business One, on paper first, before anyone touches the system. Skipping this step means paying for rework after go-live.

What happens during the Blueprint phase: Business Discovery (current-state mapping) → Process Design (target-process confirmation) → Gap Analysis (standard features vs. custom requirements) → Scope & Milestone Confirmation. Every step has a deliverable. Nothing relies on verbal agreements.

MTC Implementation Principle

Blueprint Before Configuration

Regardless of project size, MTC implementations begin with business discovery and blueprint confirmation. This has been a core delivery principle since 2009.

Project Roles and Responsibilities

The industry consultant owns process design, the project manager owns scope, schedule and risk, and the account manager coordinates ongoing service.

Industry Expert

Knows the business processes and best practices of your industry: how costs are calculated, orders are scheduled, and reports are read. Translates domain know-how into system configuration.

Project Manager

Manages project scope, tracks progress and budget, and explains how each change affects the schedule and investment.

Account Manager

Your long-term point of contact from selection through go-live and beyond into support. Project closure never means end of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an implementation typically take?
MTC’s Starter Package goes live in 12 weeks, covering core modules such as Finance, Sales, Purchasing, and Inventory. Actual timelines depend on project scope, data migration volume, and customization depth.
What resources does our company need to commit?
Typically one Project Owner (with decision-making authority) plus Key Users from each business module (who know the processes inside out). Client engagement is one of the most critical factors affecting project timelines.
How does data migration work?
MTC provides data migration tools and templates to help extract, cleanse, and import data from legacy systems. The migration scope and approach are confirmed during the Blueprint phase.
How long until the system stabilizes after go-live?
The first 1–4 weeks are normally treated as a stabilization period, with support frequency and delivery mode defined in the project or support plan. The service then moves to regular maintenance and support.
