(🅰🅽🆃🅰🅶🅾🅽🅸🆂🆃🅸🅲 🅾🅿🅴🅽🅸🅽🅶 🆂🆃🅰🆃🅴🅼🅴🅽🆃) Why are so many D365 consultancies terrible at infrastructure and release cadence?   (🅴🆇🅿🅻🅰🅽🅰🆃🅸🅾🅽) It’s not the sexy area of tech I suppose and isn’t immediately visible to end users and project sponsors but we are seeing so many examples of companies being let down in this space. Ill-defined or non-existent branching, lack of maintained production like support environments and disjointed or undocumented solutions and versioning are commonplace in the industry. All of this poor practice is leaving companies exposed both from a maintainable solution and security point of view. This is particularly relevant in the support of MS updates, PQUs and ISV updates. This is resulting in increased cost, lack of product confidence and ultimately a nervousness to embrace new and enhanced functionality within Dynamics due to the barriers to release. (🆂🅰🅻🅴🆂 🅿🅸🆃🅲🅷) AgileCadence has always been proud of our tech and DevOps roots. We believe in solid technical foundations underpinning successful business solutions. We are offering tech and infra reviews and would love anyone with concerns on their D365 infrastructure to get in touch. #devops #automatedbuildpipelines #d365 #technicalcadence

“Why not make the offer available to all BC Deployments?” That makes sense. A Business Central Needs Assessment is good for most customers considering Business Central, an AIM Assessment is good for current GP/NAV/SL On Premise clients considering moving to Business Central, and now there is a Dynamics 365 Business Central Deployment Plan offer that works for both Net New and Cloud Migration Clients. A Microsoft Partner Solutions Designations for Business Applications provides a Dynamics 365 Business Central Partner a competitive advantage to SCALE BUSINESS OPERATIONS. MCI FY25 GUIDE IS LIVE: https://lnkd.in/gBABy4NX Connect with Stratos Cloud if you want to learn how $23K in FY25 Microsoft funding PER DEAL can help you build a Profitable Dynamics 365 Business Central Practice!

Everybody’s talking about… MIS migrations Here are top ten things the MATs I have been speaking to recently are looking for in a new MIS: ✅ Standardisation and Consistency - allows for streamlined strategic planning and ensures consistent data entry and reporting formats across all schools.  ✅ Efficiency and Productivity - reduces redundancy and enhances productivity and minimises the need for extensive retraining when staff work across different schools within our trust.  ✅ Improved Collaboration - fosters information and best practice sharing, facilitates collaboration. ✅ Centralised Management - ensures consistent oversight and alignment with the MAT’s vision. ✅ Data Integrity and Accuracy – promotes data integrity, reduces inconsistencies and ensures trustworthy data. ✅ Data Analysis and Reporting - offers comprehensive data analysis and reporting tools.  ✅ Staff Training Opportunities - provides a significant opportunity for staff to receive customised training.  ✅ Cost Savings, Server-Free Hosting, and Seamless Upgrades - reduces costs and offers non-disruptive system upgrades. ✅ Consolidation of Third-Party Products and Support - streamlines third-party product usage for a better user experience, cost savings and integration. ✅ Data Security and Compliance - offers robust security features and data protection mechanisms. What are you looking for? If you're in need of guidance or support with your MIS decisions and implementation, don't hesitate to reach out. #MIS #DataStrategy #MATs #DataUtopia #data #education #schools
