Project Background

Peritos and Enterprise Software Solutions (ESS) have entered a 2-year contract to support multiple enterprise and Microsoft clients. This partnership focuses on providing solutions and services for clients utilizing Microsoft products. The collaboration covers high-level requirements across various projects, ensuring both companies can effectively serve their clients by leveraging Microsoft’s extensive suite of tools and services. These include Dynamics 365 F&O , CRM, Sales Hub, Customer insights, HR, Project operations, SCM and Finance. 

 

Requirement

  • Supporting enterprise-level implementations of Microsoft tools.
  • Addressing high-level needs such as financial operations, customer relationship management, HR processes, and supply chain efficiencies.
  • Providing seamless integration across various departments to enhance productivity and business outcomes.

Scope

  • Requirement Gathering: Understand client-specific needs and align them with Dynamics 365 capabilities.
  • System Implementation : Set up the appropriate  Dynamics Product for customer and the different modules (e.g., Finance, CRM, SCM) based on the business processes and scope identified.
  • Customization: Tailor the system through custom fields, workflows, or integrations as required.
  • Data Migration: Transfer data from legacy systems into Dynamics 365 while maintaining integrity.
  • User Training and Go-Live: Train users, conduct tests, and ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
  • Post-Go-Live Support: Provide ongoing support and system optimizations.

Technology and Architecture

  • Cloud-Based Architecture: Dynamics 365 runs on Azure, leveraging its scalability, security, and integration capabilities.
  • Microservices and APIs: Modular design using microservices allows seamless integration of Finance, SCM, HR, and CRM with third-party systems.
  • Data Management: Utilizes Azure Data Factory for ETL processes, with Azure SQL for data storage and Power BI for embedded analytics.
  • Security: Built-in role-based access control (RBAC) and encryption ensure data protection across the system.

Challenges

  1. Data Migration Complexity: Transferring large volumes of data from legacy systems while ensuring accuracy and integrity can be time-consuming.
  2. User Adoption: Resistance from users accustomed to old systems can slow down implementation.
  3. Customization Needs: Legacy customizations may not fit into the Dynamics 365 architecture and require redevelopment.
  4. Integration with Other Systems: Connecting Dynamics with existing software and third-party tools can be complex.
  5. Downtime and Disruption: Migrating to a new system may cause temporary disruptions in business processes.

Overcoming challenges across multiple clients has led us to develop reusable assets, datasets, and tools that streamline the Dynamics 365 implementation process. These resources include pre-configured templates, tested integration frameworks, and proven techniques for data migration and user training. By utilizing these assets, we ensure each project runs smoothly and can achieve faster go-live times. This approach has helped us maintain consistency and efficiency, reducing the overall complexity and risks associated with deploying new systems across different client environments.

Project Completion

Duration Long Term contract from Jan 2022 for 5 years  

Deliverables

The deliverables for a Dynamics 365 implementation projects we have worked on are below

  1. System Configuration: Set up Dynamics 365 modules (Finance, SCM, HR, CRM) as per business requirements.
  2. Data Migration Report: Detailed report on data migrated from legacy systems, ensuring data integrity.
  3. Customization Documentation: Comprehensive documentation of customizations and configurations done on the system.
  4. Integration Setup: Configured integration with third-party systems and existing platforms.
  5. User Training Materials: Manuals, videos, and training sessions for end-users.
  6. Go-Live Support Plan: Detailed plan for system launch and ongoing post-go-live support.

These deliverables ensure a successful and smooth deployment.

Support

Support can be from 2 weeks ongoing to be around 4 weeks of Hypercare support. We also have been supporting 5 customers for an AMC contract
