Ensure a smooth transition
If you have decided to move to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, there are things we can do to make the transition easier. Western Computer has a solid methodology to guide you to the finish line while making sure nothing gets overlooked. A primary step that contributes to the success of our installations is an in-depth review of your current business processes. Since it is usually better to modify and improve your current processes to fit the software rather than to modifying the system to match your current processes, we’ll work with your team to map out how each process will be performed in your new solution. By understanding how your business operates now, we’ll be better able to show you how your processes can be adapted to Dynamics 365 without major modifications. Your team will have an opportunity to see how the robust features off Dynamics 365 can actually make their work easier and more efficient.
Fit/Gap Analysis
With the up-front review of your current processes, we can identify which of your processes “fit” the capabilities of the system and any areas where there are “gaps” that need to be addressed. Sidestepping this important step may mean that you don’t get all you could from your new solution.
