More than twenty years across end-user organisations, Microsoft partners and independent architecture roles — covering strategy, assessment, design, implementation and programme recovery.

ERP, Commerce, Supply Chain and business-to-technology experience.
Multiple roles and project phases across the Dynamics ecosystem.
International, multi-cultural and distributed delivery experience.
End-user, partner and advisory roles — both sides of the table.
I did not start as an architect. I started inside end-user organisations, translating between the business and IT — then spent years inside Microsoft partners learning what it actually takes to deliver. Since 2014 I have worked independently, which means the direction I set is my own responsibility and carries no incentive to sell a particular build.
The way I run these engagements is set out in my approach, and the areas I work across in expertise.
That progression is the point. Understanding the client’s interests and the implementer’s constraints from the inside is what allows me to hold both sides of a decision honestly.

Delivery and solution architecture inside Microsoft partners, across AX and Dynamics 365 implementations. The implementation reality, from the other side of the table.
Independent architecture and advisory through PMN Consulting. Personal accountability for the direction, with no incentive to sell a particular build.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Patrick on the implementation of the Bucher Municipal B2B E-Shop, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. Patrick is an outstanding Solution Architect with exceptional expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce. His knowledge is truly remarkable and he seems to know every relevant CSU API by heart. What impressed me most is his structured, holistic approach to solution design. He always considers the bigger picture and consistently strives to stay within standard Microsoft capabilities, delivering robust and future-proof solutions. Beyond his technical excellence, Patrick is a pleasure to work with. He is collaborative, reliable, and always willing to share his deep expertise. I truly appreciated our collaboration.
I'd the pleasure of working with Patrick for over 4 years on our business transformation project at Life Style Sports. Patrick led the technical workstream covering all aspects of requirements gathering, solution design, development, integration design and build, testing and deployment. Patrick has phenomenal knowledge of the MSFT landscape but moreover worked closely with the business translating our requirements to a best in class solution and working with our other partners building out the overall architecture for a multi release, multi channel complex retail implementation. Patrick is an extremely passionate, hard working, committed professional who was a pleasure to work with and who I would highly recommend working with on similar projects.
I had the pleasure of working with Patrick during the implementation of Dynamics AX365 for Operations at Synsam/ProfilOptik. Patrick is technically skilled and has a very good understanding of both business and processes. The D365O project at Synsam/ProfilOptik was very complex and technically challenging which Patrick handled very well and came up with good solutions for the retail integration - a success factor for the project.
Patrick and me worked together for 1 year in a software development project of an internationally operating financial service provider. Due to Patrick's expertise and profound knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics AX, we were able to successfully design, develop and test the required partner management and sales related functionality. I came to value Patrick as a colleague who always tries to achieve the greatest possible customer satisfaction combined with creative solutions.
Patrick is a professional project leader who can handle a heavily changing company. If he has a goal he will go for it, even if this means taking the rocky road. It was a pleasure working with Patrick and if the opportunity comes along I will do it again.
I worked with Patrick at HSO and at Centric as his manager but also as his colleague on many projects that we did together. Both times with great pleasure. His technical knowledge together with his business knowledge makes him a good architect who will steer on the agreements that have been made. Patrick is a very passionate person with a big drive. He works in a structured and planned way and gains for a high quality in everything he does and beside that he is fun to work with.
Let’s discuss the architecture, the trade-offs and the realistic options — without starting from a predefined solution or delivery model.
