First Step: Migration Assessment
If you are considering migrating your CRM to Dynamics 365, we recommend beginning with a tailored migration assessment. The Migration Assessment is the first step of a journey to the cloud and provides insight into the benefits of the upgrade, the upgrade process, and the expected Return on Investment (ROI). This assessment will provide insight into:
- The difference between your existing CRM v. Dynamics 365 in the cloud.
- How Dynamics 365 supports the realization of your business objectives.
- How the migration will be organized. We start by using standard functionality as much as possible. This reduces cost and effort at the same time.
- A proposal for either a more detailed analysis of your upgrade or for the implementation itself.
During the Assessment:
- We take a closer look at your customer engagement and business processes.
- We conduct a review of your current CRM configuration, and any customizations in use that may be replaced by Dynamics 365 standard functionality.
- We compile a summary of the most important features for your organization in Dynamics 365.
- We review customizations, ISV applications, localizations, and integrations as well as the extent your organization depends on each, and determine how can they be migrated to Dynamics 365.
- We assess your current data and discuss the best approach to migrate your data to the cloud.
