Implementing a new ERP can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Every successful project starts with research and planning to ensure the final results meet your expectations and result in a healthy ROI. When implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365), whether you are upgrading from another Dynamics ERP or an entirely different ERP, the project should be treated as a new implementation rather than a simple upgrade.
