Microsoft Dynamics 365
Implementation Services

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation has varied tiers. The cloud-based application combines CRM and ERP systems components, productivity applications, and AI tools. The cost of the implementation is affected by your business requirements, intended outcomes, licenses, and support for maintenance of the application. In addition, you need to factor costs such as resources, add-on modules, and supplementary products that add value. Simple ways to reduce cost include consolidating platforms, using templates, and avoiding customization.

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation can take anything from three months to a year. It depends on factors such as the size of your organization, your current system’s complexity including add-ons and customizations, expected concurrent users, cloud vs on-premises deployment, and data migration or integration from legacy systems. Having the right resources available for the project, documenting your current processes and what needs to be changed, organizing. cleaning up data, and deciding what you want to migrate also impact the timelines of your Dynamics 365 implementation.

There is no easy answer to this question as what you consider expensive varies and may depend on the value you get. However, Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions are a good investment and worth the price they command. The important thing to note is to analyze the expenses by not how much it will cost your organization, but by how much you will save.

Although it is tempting, we find that most organizations under-estimate the scale of the project and the impact of the changes they are making. There are multiple users with different needs and different use cases resulting in a patchwork approach to implementation.

Having a trusted Microsoft Dynamics partner with a dedicated team is a preferred option for a Dynamics 365 implementation. The partner has in-depth product knowledge including customizations, expert guidance to optimize your Dynamics 365 application, can foresee challenges based on past experience, has a competent, certified team to navigate the implementation project, and will be available outside of your business hours also to identify and solve issues quickly. In addition, having a partner like sa.global can help you tailor your solution with specific functionality and provide Managed Services to support your applications even after the implementation.
