- We provide Value added services by sending reports to the client on the license usage and last activity date for each user to help them manage their license cost and to get visibility
Testimonial
- Azure Blob Storage has a lot of organizational features that has solved the storage problem of Global Finance at a lower cost. Despite being developed for unstructured data, containers permit businesses to construct their preferred categories by uploading specific blobs to specific containers.
- Shifting from Azure Dataverse to Azure Blob Storage has provided a free hand to Global Finance to access objects in Blob Storage via the Azure Storage REST API, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or an Azure Storage client library.
Now Global Finance is securely connected to Blob Storage by using SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) & mount Blob Storage containers by using the Network File System 3.0 protocol. Peritos handled the Microsoft Dynamics 365 domain for Global Finance and provided discounted licensing, which proved very cost-effective.

Backup and Recovery
Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers built-in backup and restore capabilities through its native data management features, ensuring business continuity. Automated daily backups and point-in-time restore options provide added security and peace of mind for your critical CRM data.
Network Architecture
The network architecture for Microsoft Dynamics 365 is designed with security in mind, enabling users to remotely access the system only through secure channels such as VPN or conditional access policies, ensuring data protection and compliance. Also there was no connectivity from home as well to avoid any Breach of client confidential data
Cost Optimization
Alerts and notifications are configured in the Azure Cost dashboard configured for client as well as cloudchkr tool. Peritos would send monthly license based invoice adding details and itemized information regarding the cost.
Code Management, Deployment
Cloudformation scripts for deploying data was used for managing the JavaScript and plugin based code
Challenges of Migrating from Azure Dataverse to Azure Blob Storage
Data Structure Mismatch: Dataverse stores data in a relational format with rich metadata, relationships, and business logic, while Blob Storage is unstructured, requiring transformation and flattening of data.
Loss of Metadata & Relationships: Referential integrity, lookups, and entity relationships in Dataverse are not retained in Blob Storage unless explicitly rebuilt or documented.
Security Model Differences: Dataverse has a detailed role-based access control (RBAC) model; Blob Storage requires separate access controls like SAS tokens, RBAC, or shared access policies, which may require redesigning security.

Challenges of O365 Discounted Licensing
- To get access with the right level of information to be able to see the existing license and to share the quote for the same license takes some time. As we were not given the right access or permission to be able to see that. This was quickly resolved as we informed the client the right steps to delegate access to Peritos Support ID
- To ensure we do not reduce the count of licensing just for cost cutting as the service User to whom a license may be assigned would be using the license for running some apps that can be disrupted if licenses are removed. Hence taking it slow and taking an informed decision is helpful. Once deleted those accounts are difficult to get back
- To explain to the client how to manage the cost more effectively and how to see the utilization reports.

- Having a Key point of contact from the team and conducting multiple user sessions spread across different team member with the key users to enable them to carry out the business processes efficiently
- Migration of open balances had a lot of data issues which were not something Business central was able to handle by standard.
- Preparing for mock go live ahead of Go Live and agreeing on the correct way to handle the data inconsistencies in the system was done.

Challenges & Solutions
- Migrating the master and Transactional data from Sage to Business central as data was not in an organized format when exported.
- We developed an internal system where the data was transferred easily multiple times as we did a Mock Go live 2 times prior to actual go Live
- Key user Training to ensure a smooth GO Live and to ensure all business scenarios are captured
- User training was divided into specific scenario sharing a checklist with the client to get sign off. Also shared the video recordings and User Guides
- Specific client scenarios in transfering the open balances example some invoices from Vendor Purchase order were added as placeholders while the actual invoice was yet to arrive
- Customization was done to create a program which would allow to update the invoice number on the posted invoice transactions when the actual vendor invoice came in.
