Chapter 01 — About
We've been on every side of the table.
Lana Partners brings three perspectives to the same problem. We have delivered Microsoft business applications at a top partner, operated them inside an end-user organization, and worked at Microsoft directly.
02 — Our story
More than ten years seeing what happens before and after go-live.
Our founders spent more than ten years delivering Microsoft business applications. That experience came from a top Microsoft partner, an end-user organization running these systems, and Microsoft directly.
Each side sees a different failure. A partner sees scope. A client sees adoption and support. Microsoft sees the platform and licensing. Lana Partners was founded to bring those views into one accountable team.
It also taught us one belief we build everything on: automation scales whatever process it sits on, so the process and data come first. See how we work.
We are Minnesota-based, serving clients nationwide.
03 — Every side of the table
We know what each side needs from the system.
At a top Microsoft partner
We learned how implementations are estimated, designed, sold, and delivered.
Inside an end-user organization
We lived with the systems after go-live. We saw which design choices helped users and which created more work.
At Microsoft directly
We learned how the platform is sold, governed, and supported from inside Microsoft.
04 — Values
How we make decisions.
Senior-led
Keep experienced practitioners close to the work and accountable for the result.
Honest scoping
Say what fits, what does not, what could block delivery, and what the work requires.
Long-term partnership
Stay after go-live to support users, handle releases, and work the backlog.
