Rescue engagements in Columbia usually follow one of two patterns: a service console for members, brokers or borrowers that agents avoid, or a manufacturing project whose equipment and quoting data never came together. First come the fixes that unblock daily work; after that, the signed scope is laid beside the org as built and the way staff actually use it. The recovery plan separates components that work from those needing repair or replacement, and delivers the rest in short releases, each followed by retraining for the teams it touches.
Machinery makers' rescues often involve aftermarket service: installed equipment was never migrated properly, so parts quotes and service cases lack the asset history they depend on. Recovery rebuilds the installed base from ERP and service records, links it to accounts and dealers, and restores parts and service processes on top. Sales quoting is then reviewed with the benefit of accurate equipment data, which often resolves complaints that looked like quoting problems.
Insurance and lending projects often stall when the service design meets real volume: routing rules that misfire, entitlements that do not match contracts and consoles loaded with too many components. Recovery rebuilds case routing around how work is really divided, repairs the core system feed that supplies policy or loan status, and pilots the revised console with a single service team. Broader rollout follows once handle times and agent feedback show improvement.
Implementation Rescue for Insurance →Energy technology companies with long utility and industrial sales cycles sometimes end up with an org where opportunities, service contracts and installed equipment are disconnected, often because each piece was built separately. Recovery links them: contracts tied to assets, assets tied to accounts, renewals generated from contract end dates. With those connections restored, sales and service stop keeping their own spreadsheets and customers get one consistent answer about what they own and when it renews.
Resist the urge to redesign everything at once. Fix the failures that stop work, such as broken integrations, locked records or permission errors, then assess the broader design with a calmer team. Stabilization buys the time and credibility needed for bigger decisions.
In insurance, lending and health settings, a failed project may have left sensitive data in the wrong places or with the wrong access. Bring compliance into the assessment early, so any exposure is contained promptly and the recovery plan reflects regulatory requirements from the start.
Stakeholders burned by missed dates need a plan they can believe. Share a recovery timeline built from the assessment, with milestones described in weeks or months and tied to visible outcomes, and report progress honestly, including any setback, at each release.

Client names are anonymized, and these projects are not specific to Columbia.
Common signs include missed launch dates with no credible new plan, users returning to spreadsheets or email, recurring integration failures, change requests piling up unaddressed and sponsors losing confidence. When more than one of those describes your project, bring in an independent assessor. It shows whether the project needs course correction, a partial rebuild or simply better governance and decision-making.
Yes, and it usually improves the result. Internal admins and developers know the business context and will support the org afterward. We pair with them on diagnosis and fixes, share design decisions openly and leave documentation behind, so your team can maintain the recovered org and does not depend on outside help indefinitely, which is usually the goal leadership cares about most.
We look at three things: whether the data model matches how members, brokers or borrowers actually contact you, whether agents avoid the console because of its design or because it is slow, and how much custom code sits underneath. If the model is sound, targeted changes to layouts, routing and automation usually restore trust quickly. If records are structured wrongly, patching screens only hides the problem, and rebuilding that one component is the better investment over time.
