How does the migration process start?

It starts with an initiation phase where we assess your current production environment to ensure its upgrade sustainability.

Can the migration be postponed?

Yes. We review the impact of the new versions and releases on your infrastructure and advise the order in which to proceed, or whether the Dynamics 365 migration should be postponed for later.

Which stakeholders are involved?

We determine your organization's involvement in the upgrade, from testing a restricted deployment through to production deployment at all levels of your organization.

How do you upgrade from Dynamics NAV?

We assess your NAV environment, map your data and customizations to Dynamics 365, validate the result in a test deployment and then take it to production.

How do you upgrade from Dynamics GP?

We follow the same assessment, planning, test and production steps for Dynamics GP, validating the upgrade before any production cut-over.

How do you upgrade from AX 2009 or AX 2012?

We evaluate your AX 2009 or AX 2012 production environment, plan the test environment, and migrate to Dynamics 365 with your go-live checklist as the guide.

Will my data model change?

Dynamics 365 uses a data model that reduces risk and gives you customized database solutions for your unique business processes.

How do you test the migration?

We run restricted deployments to validate the upgrade and perform basic tests based on our go-live checklist before production.

What if something fails during the upgrade?

We create a contingency plan, including backup and recovery, so you are prepared to quickly and completely roll back the system in case of any unforeseen failures.

What is the go-live checklist?

It is a set of basic tests and pre-requisite documentation we review to confirm the overall functionality of the upgraded environment before go-live.

How do you reduce risk?

Through assessment, a test-first approach, a contingency plan and the risk-reducing data model used in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
