ChallengeS
Were currently using Dynamics 365 CE and multiple other systems
Had 300 users across two legal entities in multiple countries
Desire to ‘adopt, not adapt’ and ‘configure, not customise’ a new system
Had a number of business goals:
Improve efficiency through greater automation
Replace existing billable time tracking solution and finance ecosystem
Reduce reliance on legacy systems and transform through digitisation
Consolidate, centralise and reduce current technology stack
Optimise licensing
Wanted to transition to a Microsoft ERP solution and to understand whether Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management or Dynamics 365 Business Central was the best choice
APPROACH
- Project was led by an Enterprise architect with a small team of three other specialists contributing to the GYDE365-Discover survey
- Used GYDE365-Discover to enable them to carry out a quick and detailed comparison exercise of Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Business Central against their business requirements
RESULTS
Timings:
- Received their detailed Dynamics 365 BC and F&SCM analysis against their submitted business requirements within three weeks.
Outcomes:
- 71% and 93% fit of out-of-the-box Dynamics 365 BC and F&SCM, respectively, against their business requirements
- Impressed with the process and will be making an informed decision on BC or F&SCM based on the detailed fit/gap analysis, costings and licensing information provided.
