Building connected systems on the Microsoft Cloud
for Architecture and Engineering firms
Industry cloud solutions and services built for Architecture & Engineering Firms
Significant resources and meticulous planning are essential for architecture and engineering (A&E) services. Companies seek a project management resolution that offers comprehensive oversight of projects, personnel, and operations from any location. Throughout the phases of design, implementation, and supervision, A&E enterprises must ensure the timely and cost-effective delivery of projects.
While typical decisions on systems and solutions to serve these needs revolve around project management solutions, it is clear that the business of a firm is not only project planning. The project planning and delivery would greatly benefit from being connected with and to data that resides in other systems like the experience of personnel on similar projects, pulling together proposals more efficiently based on past projects, financial systems that can manage complex fee structures, revenue allocation and analytics which bring all of this together to have truly connected project delivery.
Optimize resources: Mobilize the right people, skills, and technologies to deliver successful projects on-time and on-budget.
Increase agility: Adapt quickly to shifting resources and changes in scope to ensure project profitability.
Gain visibility: Track complex projects and integrate all your business processes to view your business instantly.
Deepen client relationships: Get real-time insights to make client conversations more relevant.

Having multiple solutions is now a conscious decision rather than an accident. With so much choice available, many organizations – especially the larger ones – want to choose “best of breed” for each business function. They no longer want to choose a system because of its strengths in one area and then accept its weaknesses in other areas; they need a composable ERP, CRM, HCM and Professional Services Automation (PSA) landscape that is the best of everything. But they also need to solve the data-sharing challenge, and having multiple systems only exacerbates that problem.
Our Microsoft Dynamics cloud-based ecosystem consists of many applications, mirroring what might be seen above. Dynamics 365 CE for client and opportunity engagement, Dynamics 365 HR for managing a workforce, and Dynamics 365 Finance for running the day to day with. Whilst they are separate applications, they do not suffer from the “islands” problem; they can all share their critical data with each other delivering a connected composable system. Learn more about this “secret sauce” here.
