Dynamics D365
Microsoft Dynamics D365 is the latest cloud based version of Microsoft’s flagship ERP offering. It is a global product with global multisite capabilities, with a familiar look and feel and is what we have based our Dynamics business consultancy on for the past 20 years!
Component Based
It is a component based solution which allows companies to select and configure the functionality they require which matches or enhances their business processes. If warehouse management is a major aspect of your business then there’s functionality that can be configured to accommodate that full requirement.
If however you business has a more basic stock management requirement without for example complex picking rules, the cost and expense associated with deploying Warehouse Management can be avoided using less sophisticated tools in Inventory Management.
Tiered Levels of Functionality
Each component of D365 often has has tiered levels of functionality, which allows organisations small or large, with simple or sophisticated requirements to configure and deploy the right level of functionality for them.
The tiered levels of functionality offers unrivalled flexibility that should be navigated with the help of a Dynamics business consultancy that will guide you appropriately.
To a business keen to deploy their new shiny ERP system, functionality they think they need, may in fact carry an overhead of administration activities that do not become apparent until late event user acceptance testing.
We have seen this occur in projects we have joined mid-stream, where configurations have been made that come a period or year end requires administration activity they hadn’t understood would become a requirement.
This is where we with our 20 years plus knowledge of full life cycle implementations can bring our knowledge to the table and deploy the right tier of functionality for your business without the surprises.
Adaptability and Change
Should business requirements change as they invariably do, we know how best to approach these changes and deploy additional D365 functionality.
It is not just deploying new configuration but everything that goes with it from changes to process, data and training.to workflows that in modern ERP systems control so many of the authorisation and approval routines.
Been able to flex and adapt has been a main driver of D365’s success, it can adapt in line with your business or organisational needs.
It’s a platform that provides you with a long term solution that continually evolves in line with Microsoft’s other products with that familiar look and feel that help users quickly adopt to it as a business solution of choice.
Deploying changes to a live system is itself potentially complex, particularly with all the other products and tools that can hung off of a Dynamics 365 implementation. once again its the experience of your partner company here that can make that deployment go smoothly OR not.
D365’s ability to scale up or down with your business is a principle followed by other Microsoft products, that cycle of periodic ERP review potentially becomes a thing of the past when there’s a commitment to continued development and a roadmap you can follow. Can you imagine trying to write a business case for swapping out your Microsoft back office products?
Its the same principle Microsoft are following with Dynamics D365, with ever closer integration with a whole family of Microsoft products from Office to Teams and LinkedIn.
Microsoft’s suite of business applications are continuing to evolve, becoming in effect Apps that seamlessly integrate and become part of your Microsoft landscape.
With the advent of AI and Microsoft’s Copilot, business software has not seen this much advancement in an age so if you are not looking at D365 as a serious solution for your business, we would politely suggest that you are not been serious at all.
An investment in Microsoft D365 falls in line with Microsoft’ long standing philosophy of continued improvement rather than one of continual change, it’s secure, its smart and it’s here to stay.
