Fourvision Advanced Human Resource Management
Fourvision Advanced HRM is the latest instalment of enhanced human resource management functionality from Fourvision that sits seamlessly within D365 and Business Central ERP applications.
We have worked alongside and opposite Fourvision for more than a decade and were one of the first UK partners to introduce them to one of our clients in 2012. At the time AX2012 had limited absence management and learning development functionality which were requirements of our clients people and development team.
Our approach up until that point would typically have been to embark upon an extensive period of analysis, design and development as we had done on previous occasions plugging these gaps and developing the functionality on behalf of our customer but having been made aware that a Microsoft Partner was marketing an ‘out of the box’ solution we invested time looking at Fourvision’s offering.
We saw that Fourvision’s development mirrored much of what we had previously developed ourselves around the absence management was robust and functional whilst their learning and development enhanced Microsoft’s standard offering and satisfied other requirements that were in a different delivery stage. It was therefore in the best interest of our client to recommend Fourvision as an ‘out of the box’ vertical solution which our client agreed with and Fourvision was successfully implemented in a full blown and award winning deployment of Dynamics which included warehousing and manufacturing.
We have also worked opposite Fourvision in an advisory capacity, providing assurance services to significant client programmes and although sitting on the opposite side of the fence have maintained good working relations with them in challenging deployments ,not least because of a shared pragmatism and a quality driven customer focus.
.
Fourvision’s 2026 release of their Advanced HRM suite of modules brought functionality that we could see would be of a benefit to our own customer base and pipeline of prospects, so we formalised our relationship, upskilled our consultants and became an official reseller.
Our highly experienced, UK based HR consultants can now provide Advanced HRM consultancy independently or in partnership with Fourvision. We still retain an independent objectivity for those programmes or projects who want impartiality and need our advisory services or we can provide that extra skilled resource where UK expertise maybe in short supply.
Fourvision Advanced HRM Workflow
Workflow within Dynamics without a doubt was a complete gamechanger when it was first introduced to D365 but in our opinion it has always been a bit too technical for some of our HR clients who focus on people rather than technical pieces of software functionality. An ad-hoc change would often give users a headache especially if they had not checked into the functionality for some time, even consultants will sometimes reference notes – it is a bit ‘specialised’.
Fourvision recognised this and have introduced a much more friendlier piece of functionality that makes workflow a lot less hassle to work with. It works on top of D365’s standard workflow, so adheres to all the same logic and security rules but presents it in a format that clients and consultants both appreciate, it significantly improves the user configuration experience and that saves time and money..
Advanced HRM with Teams
Using Teams as a workspace for those users less involved in the day to day operation and management of an ERP business system is another productivity game changer, Users should not have to log into their D365 ERP platform to simply register absence requests or check analytical figures.
Microsoft have been using Teams to present information seamlessly using security standards to protect information and so on for several years, Fourvision have built upon this and made it all a lot easier, removing some of the configuration and presentation effort in the process and making it all a lot more seamless and appealing to look at as an out of the box solution.
Fourvision Advanced HRM Analytics
Microsoft have a wide range of analytical reports available as standard throughout D365 however Fourvision with their HR expertise have produced another level of analytics that appeal to the HR professional.
Fourvision Advanced HRM has analytical features that many clients would end up generating using Power BI which reduces the deployment cycle associated with this typical implementation deliverable.
With user configurable tools important aspects such as company branding are simplified, it may sound simple which it is but with our programme and project management hats on these things do take time to configure and deliver. Fourvision have recognised this and taken a chunk of time out of a typical project plan by delivering these tools as standard.
Employee Progression and Succession Planning
Building upon functionality that forward thinking professionals in the people and development departments want to see are a range of visualisation tools that provide that management overview which support succession and employee progression.
Fourvision Advanced HRM provide these in formats that would normally require Power BI effort and expertise in order to present these suitably enough for line managers and employees all of which leads to faster deployment with less associated cost.
Is Fourvision Advanced HRM Scalable?
Fourvision followed the example set by Microsoft with D365 so simply put the answer is yes! This means that from the outset Fourvision Advanced HRM was designed so that it could be deployed in organisations both small or large with functions activated as and when required whilst sitting in an environment that can manage multi-company, country specific organisations using different currencies/languages etc.
Built for Organisations Small and Large
Typically 50 users would class as a small client, whilst at the high end a large well known international drinks brand with 24000 employees spread across 17 countries is an example of Fourvision’s current largest client.
Small companies may not have a requirement for all the processes a much larger organisation needs but if they do, the functionality is there waiting to be activated, configured and used.
It’s an important thing to note as this is not a boutique software product with limited functionality, it has real depth that supports complex organisations but all that functionality does not need to be deployed.
You do not need to configure what you are not using and this is one of the reasons why small organisations can use Fourvision’s Advanced HRM without spending a fortune on configuration and implementation services.
