Tips For A Successful Microsoft Dynamics Implementation

Successful Microsoft Dynamics implementation is challenging, and the team at Elite Search Professionals can help. We specialize in Microsoft business solutions and match highly qualified contractors with leading companies, helping them to implement as smoothly as possible.

There is no quick fix for a Microsoft Dynamics solution, but there are a couple of things that you can do to help you be successful. Continue reading to learn more, and if you’re in need of a contractor to help you with your Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation, contact us today.

Gather a Great Team

Your implementation will only go as well as the people supporting you in the process. Hiring an experienced Microsoft Dynamics contractor to handle the implementation is the first step in the process. Choose a partner, like Elite Search Professionals, that you can rely on to deliver top-notch talent. 

A great team, though, involves people on both sides — your company and the Dynamics contractors. While the technical contractors will handle the implementation itself, you’ll need to appoint a project manager to ensure that you’re getting the capabilities you need to be successful. 

Solution Architecture

The flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics 365 puts a lot of pressure on your architect, and it needs to be well-defined in order to support future changes. Integration strategy, data migration plan, and business intelligence are all key components to a successful Microsoft Dynamics implementation. 

Plan Strategically

Planning is crucial to any project, and when it comes to Microsoft Dynamics implementation, success comes to those who plan. Plan for the infrastructure and consider all problems that may come up — and how you will need to deal with them. While planning will take more time up front, it gives you more control over the schedule, resources, process, and budget. The plan should be spearheaded by a leader who knows how to leverage the skills of everyone on the team — including any Microsoft Dynamics contractors you may have hired. The person leading the team and helping solidify the plan should have excellent communication and management skills. Have leaders from different areas, such as IT managers and operations experts, work together to manage and plan the Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation project. 

Flexibility Can Be Risky

While the adaptability of Microsoft Dynamics is one of its greatest strengths, just because you can change the software doesn’t mean you should. Customization is a process best left to the pros, like the Dynamics 365 contactors here at Elite Search Professionals. You’ll need to manage potential risk by ensuring that your implementation — and other Dynamics projects down the road — are completed by highly-trained professionals.

Train Your Employees

While Microsoft Dynamics 365 is easy-to-use, that doesn’t mean it’s easy for employees to learn and adapt to. Even if the user interface is familiar to your employees, they’ll need to learn new business processes, roles, and responsibilities, as well as the full capabilities of the platform. The point of using Microsoft Dynamics 365 is to take advantage of the platform’s innovative applications, but if your employees don’t know how to use them, you’re not going to be successful. Complete and effective organizational change will be key to your success.
