Have you ever considered that there may be a more effective and efficient approach to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Practice Management?

If the answer is yes, this article is for you.

In this article, Sara Cheaveau, Chief Operating Officer at Seer 365 highlights some of the key challenges that implementation partners face in practice management, and summarises how GYDE365 can address these challenges, as well as optimise overall performance.

—————————–

In the world of Microsoft Dynamics 365, effective Practice Management has become a cornerstone for ensuring the successful delivery and implementation of business applications. As the complexity of projects increases, so does the need for refined tools and methodologies that can streamline processes and enhance productivity. In this context, our GYDE365 Platform emerges as a pivotal solution, designed to support Dynamics 365 implementation partners in addressing the multifaceted challenges they face.

Practice management is far from easy. It comes with a number of challenges, including balancing scope versus budget; managing consultant availability, and navigating the fine balance between acquiring new clients and supporting existing implementations; the impact of non-billable rework and the inherent limitations of billing by day. Overcoming these challenges require a robust approach that can offer clarity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. 

Below, I summarise how GYDE365 can really make a difference:

REALISTIC SCOPE AND ACCURATE ESTIMATION

A clear and agreed understanding of the project scope and solution fit is fundamental to the success of every Dynamics 365 project.

GYDE365 ensures that the scope is realistic and acceptable to all three parties – sales, delivery, and the customer. Its simplicity enables it to be used successfully by more junior consultants, which helps in delivering more elements of a project efficiently. Furthermore, with GYDE365, partners can confidently offer more fixed-price and packaged engagements, which can lead to higher margins and more predictable outcomes.

REPEATABLE pROJECT GOVERNANCE Resources AND CONSULTING

GYDE365 stands out in its ability to support project governance and consulting activities. The Platform helps in mobilising projects effectively by providing standard, repeatable formats for governance activities, resource planning, and project setup. This not only accelerates project initiation but also ensures that resources are utilised efficiently.

OPTIMISing DELIVERY

Optimising delivery is at the heart of GYDE365’s value proposition. By addressing traditional challenges such as unrealistic estimations, mismatched customer expectations, and insufficient information from sales, GYDE365 really does help practice managers deliver successful projects. The Platform’s capability to generate detailed project requirements and solution design documentation at the ‘click-of-a-button’ significantly reduces time and effort.

IMPROVing WORKFORCE EFFICIENCY

One of the key benefits of GYDE365 is its ability to improve workforce efficiency. By using pre-workshop surveys and standardised questions, the Platform facilitates early adoption and creates momentum without disrupting current methodologies. It also enables less experienced consultants to safely and confidently contribute to the analysis and design phases of a project, freeing up senior resources for more complex tasks.

MINIMISING RISK AND INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY

GYDE365 helps minimise risks associated with project delivery by providing a complete audit trail for all decisions and changes. This transparency ensures that projects are build-ready up to 60% quicker than traditional methods. Additionally, the Platform’s focus on user adoption and change management reduces the potential for costly rework and project fatigue, ultimately speeding up the return on investment.

A POSITIVE CHANGE OF APPROACH

In conclusion, GYDE365 represents a significant advancement in Practice Management for Microsoft Dynamics 365. By addressing key challenges and providing a structured, efficient approach to project delivery, the Platform empowers partners to achieve higher margins, improved efficiency, and successful project outcomes. As the landscape of Dynamics 365 continues to evolve, tools like GYDE365 will be indispensable in driving performance and delivering value to both partners and customers.
