We’ve witnessed a rising awareness of the limitations of legacy ERP and CRM platforms in talks with enterprises across multiple sectors over the last twelve to eighteen months. Even for enterprises that have previously invested in Dynamics ERP solutions, Microsoft’s advancements in SaaS and hybrid solutions appear to be generating significant attention.
However, analyzing new ERP or CRM investments is as critical and time-consuming as it has always been. We’ve been improving how we assist our customers with their Dynamics 365 homework, and we’ve highlighted the most critical areas for every CEO or line of business management to consider. The details that every systems integrator should know are listed below.
Let’s dig deeper into these topics, both from a client and service provider perspective.
1. Boost Your Understanding of the Most Up-to-Date Solutions
Our most successful Dynamics 365 clients did not overlook the necessity of establishing the appropriate assessment criteria and then digging deep to fully comprehend out-of-the-box possibilities in conjunction with trustworthy third-party solutions. The following are some of the most typical evaluation points when a deep dive is required:
– Module breakdown – Reporting tools: out-of-the-box Power BI content packs, third-party reporting system integration, Excel integration, and so forth.
2. Recognize What Infrastructure Options You Have
Microsoft has put in a lot of effort to make the Azure cloud a simple choice for businesses of all sizes. However, many business application customers continue to live in a hybrid environment and will continue to do so for many years. On-premises, private hosting, and public cloud all have advantages, but the fact is that determining the best architecture takes specialist skills.
We collaborate with Microsoft cloud professionals and our infrastructure partners to shape the decision-making process around what is the greatest match for our customers, whether it’s a wholly cloud, hybrid, or on-premise implementation.
3. Licensing and Product Support
Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 Lifecycle Services (LCS) platform is a competitive differentiation that is often overlooked. LCS is extensive, unlike other companies’ “fast start” solutions. The most beneficial feature of the step-by-step approach is its flexibility to take our clients through a robust, precise procedure while keeping us all up to date on where project is at all times.
Licensing options for D365 ERP clients are also managed by LCS. Microsoft provides new ways to optimize ERP costs with enhanced analytics in a subscription-based ERP system. Customers have seen significant savings as a result of these technologies.
4. Alignment between Industries
Industry-specific requirements should be considered in every business software acquisition decision. We urge our clients to challenge suppliers and service providers about the toughest questions they have about their organizations and sectors. Such occasions exist, such as the next evaluation day at the Microsoft Training Center Irvine. Because, while there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution for ERP success, our experience with Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise has shown that it can meet a wide range of requirements.
