Whether you’re looking for a new Microsoft Dynamics Partner or not, it is crucial to ensure that whoever you partner with can provide you with the support you need for the current state of your business. Over time, your needs and conditions may change, and what may have seemed like a sufficient relationship no longer fits your business requirements. That is why frequent reassessment of your partner’s skills and capabilities is critical for the growth of your business.
Here are the 6 key attributes when choosing a Microsoft Dynamics Partner:
# 1 – Experience
Some of Microsoft’s Dynamic Partners have worked extensively with many businesses and organizations over the years and have a better feel of the migration process. For example, Technology Management Concepts (TMC) has over 37 years of experience, and have done over 1500 implementations.
# 2 – Competency
This is the measure of how successful a dynamic partner is when it comes to digital transformation for organizations and businesses. It would be best if you went for a Microsoft Partner that’s the most decorated and renowned for their past performance.
Several awards are granted annually to software implementation B2B companies, including Clutch Award, Accounting Today, Inc5000, Microsoft Gold Competencies, and Inc. Best Workplaces. These awards give you a good perspective when choosing a Dynamics Partner.
# 3 – A Well-Planned Business Process Review
Look for a partner who delivers a well-planned Business Process Review (BPR) by ensuring they conduct a comprehensive technical review, have extensive expertise and experience, and offer a strong in-house development team. They should meticulously assess customizations and potential risks to align processes with best practices and ensure efficient operations. This approach will help set the stage for a successful implementation.
# 4 – Perspective
The best companies to work with today are those with different ways of thinking. For instance, women-led tech companies are on the rise, and certain distinct advantages may be realized when working with them, including:
- Tax incentives
- A more diverse workplace
- Better communication and collaboration
- Greater financial gain
# 5 – Specific industry expertise
Microsoft Partners specialize with clients from specific industries such as financial service, health, media, and entertainment industries. Therefore, selecting a Microsoft Dynamics Partner with expertise in your industry is vital for the migration’s success.
TMC, for example, has worked with a multitude of companies like WASH Laundry System, Fieldpiece Instruments, Inc., and more in the healthcare and, manufacturing & distribution industry. TMC has implemented Microsoft Business Solutions for these companies and has a proven track record of reliability.
# 6 – Technical and level of support
Not all Microsoft Partners are created equal. Some are bigger and more experienced than others and are likely to provide Dynamic 365 BC implementation tailored to your business needs.
Technology Management Concepts is the ideal sized company because it’s big enough to deliver the expertise you need and support your growth and complex requirements, yet small enough to provide white glove service where every customer is treated like the most important client.
# 7 – ISV Partnerships
It is important to look for a Microsoft Integration company with the right resources to integrate with your business’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
TMC works with partners with proven methodologies and can deliver reliable technology to their migration clients. Additionally, TMC is quite flexible and, as such, will work with their clients‘ current ISV partners.
