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.
Key Considerations When Implementing D365
At enVista, we have successfully implemented D365 for a variety of companies and learned the dos and don’ts every company should consider before starting any ERP implementation. With that said, we put together a guide and compiled our findings, so every company implementing D365 has a successful project that meets their needs and expectations.
