Robust Auditing and Assessment Capabilities of Dynamics 365

When Should You Conduct a D365 Audit & Assessment?

A well-planned pre-implementation audit helps reduce risks and ensures your D365 deployment aligns with business goals from the start. Organizations should consider an audit before implementation if:

  • Business processes are not fully mapped to D365 functionality
  • There is no clear implementation roadmap with defined phases and KPIs
  • Cross-functional alignment is lacking, creating risks of system misconfiguration
  • Data migration and integration strategies are not clearly defined

How We Help:

  • Assess organizational readiness and define an implementation strategy
  • Identify potential risks and establish a mitigation plan
  • Align business goals with system design to ensure long-term success

Even the best-planned D365 projects can face challenges mid-implementation. A mid-project audit can help course-correct before small issues become major roadblocks.

Organizations should conduct an assessment if:

  • The project is behind schedule, over budget, or facing scope creep
  • System configuration is not meeting business needs
  • There are data migration or integration challenges
  • Change management and user adoption efforts are falling short

How We Help:

  • Perform a health check on project status, risks, and gaps
  • Ensure alignment between system configuration and business processes
  • Improve data migration strategies and system performance

Even after D365 goes live, organizations may struggle with adoption, inefficiencies, or underutilized features. A post-go-live audit ensures your system is delivering business value and remains scalable, efficient, and optimized.

Organizations should conduct an audit post-implementation if:

  • Users are struggling with workflows, reporting, or system adoption
  • Key business processes are still relying on manual workarounds
  • Performance issues are leading to slow response times
  • Integrations with Power Platform, third-party apps, or legacy systems are not functioning properly

How We Help:

  • Optimize system configurations for improved efficiency
  • Identify opportunities for automation, reporting, and AI-driven analytics
  • Provide training and enablement strategies to enhance adoption
