To meet the worldwide increase in demand for Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft’s small and medium-sized business ERP solution, throughout FY26, Microsoft plans to establish up to 50 new Business Central practices, primarily within companies with existing ERP experience.
To help organisations speed up establishing a successful Business Central practice, Microsoft is investing in a ‘Practice Accelerator Program’, providing direct support, including a senior Microsoft executive sponsor, and indirect support from three leading Dynamics 365 partner enablement specialists: Ciellos, 365 Talent Portal, and our own business, Seer 365. For this strategic program, Microsoft will recommend that all new Business Central partners utilise the suite of partner productivity applications that comprise our GYDE365 Platform.
GYDE365 is a suite of productivity applications that are helping Dynamics 365 partners across the world to standardise and professionalise key project processes. For this program, the four key GYDE365 applications that new partners will be set up and trained on are as follows:
Online Project Estimation & Lead Qualification Tool for website visitors.
Requirements Capture, RFI Response Tool & Sales Proposal generator.
Functional Requirements Capture & Accelerated Solution Analysis & Design application.
Automated Configuration & Build of the core Business Central application.
Traditionally, setting up a new ERP practice has significant upfront costs due to the need to recruit often expensive, specialist resources with prior Microsoft Dynamics knowledge. But using GYDE365, with support from the Seer 365 team, you can establish a Business Central practice using your existing resources.
Its standardised, easy-to-learn, repeatable approach to gathering customer requirements in both the Sales and Design phases of a project, and its ability to automatically generate all the key project documentation greatly reduces the need to recruit new resources in the early stages of running a new practice, only requiring additional headcount as the business begins to scale.
GYDE365 provides a consistent, proven, best practice approach to running the key project processes within a new Business Central practice, allowing the business to scale more quickly.
GYDE365 is already successfully used by over 150 partners globally, delivering 2,500 end-customer engagements to date, with 100+ new engagements added every month.
For over two years, Microsoft's own Sales and Technical teams around the world have been successfully using GYDE365 applications to help create new opportunities and drive deal velocity, generating new customer wins and additional revenue for partners.
