Expert Witness
For general counsel, litigators, and audit committees: independent analysis of ERP and enterprise-implementation failure — standard of care, causation, and the technical record — that holds up under cross-examination.
The engagement
Forensic examination of why an ERP or enterprise implementation failed — the program record read for the decisions, omissions, and warnings that drove the outcome.
Opinion on whether the conduct of an implementer, advisor, or institution met the standard a reasonable practitioner would apply.
Disentangling the chain from decision to damage — what caused the failure, what merely coincided with it, and what would have changed the result.
Framing the technical and program realities that bound a damages theory, so the financial analysis rests on what the program actually was.
Credentials that survive cross
The firm is available for retention, credentialed by domain expertise and forensic audit work, with a testimony record that is growing. Engagements begin with a conflicts check and a confidential review of the matter.
The credibility bridge
Forensically examining why an implementation failed is the same discipline as testifying about why one failed. The firm's audit practice is where that judgment is built and proven — and it is what the witness work is sold on.
