For many companies, finally getting the final green to migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 feels like the starting gun at the Indy 500. By the time that green light is received, it often seems like the entire organisation had to weigh in, with the caveat that somehow the hard-won decision could just as quickly be rescinded due to internal factors (strategy changes, organisational changes, stakeholder attrition, etc.) or external factors (competitive threats, new technology announcements, economic factors, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, by the time the migration decision is finalized, there can be a great deal of organisational urgency to do something, almost anything, at speed. The organisational inertia can take on a life on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself in this situation, it\u2019s important to hit the pause button, as difficult as it might be. Moving forward prematurely can lead to organisational confusion, misapplied resources, frustrated stakeholders, rework and cost overruns \u2013 not to mention an implementation that doesn\u2019t fit the needs of the business. Instead, it\u2019s time to do one final check of the key actions that must be completed before starting your migration to Dynamics 365<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirm Your Business Justification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final business justification of undergoing the transformation to D365 should be documented and confirmed among the major stakeholders. This is important for several reasons. First, if the migration to Dynamics 365 doesn\u2019t have the required return on investment, the budget should be allocated elsewhere to projects with a better return. Second, change can cause stress, and it\u2019s important to refer to the business justification to help keep everyone focused on the prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In confirming your business justification, a good resource is a Forrester study commissioned by Microsoft. Forrester Consulting conducted a Total Economic Impact\u2122 (TEI) study to evaluate the potential financial impact of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations on typical user organisations. The Total Economic Impact\u2122 Of Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Finance And Operations<\/a> examines the benefits, costs and risks associated with this ERP investment by interviewing several customers using D365 F&O.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
