With MS applications existing in the Cloud, your organization has an agile opportunity to prove the application’s viability in your environment.

The one thing you will not be able to save on in this approach is the time to go through the exercise of thoroughly vetting the application. You NEED to take the time to

• document process gaps
• document input and reporting gaps
• discuss integration needs and how they will be resolved e.g. what will you do regarding time cards, travel expense applications, and applicants for employment?
• have a follow-up meeting after training to determine the volume of customization and if MS Dynamics is right for you, right now

In the end, the time you take to work your business in “real time” through the ERP’s features, built-in functions, and processes will be well worth the investment.
