Fixed-fee discovery, a written timeline, and named engineers who stay on after go-live. Business Central and Finance & Operations, implemented the way a finance team can actually absorb.
typical go-live for a 120-user operation
Two weeks in your processes with the people who run them. What you get is a scoped plan and a costed timeline — a document you own whatever you decide next.
Phases, dependencies and the go-live date are agreed before build starts — and the fee is fixed against that scope, not billed by the hour as it drifts.
Chart of accounts, dimensions, posting groups and approval flows go in as standard Business Central. Customisation waits until standard has been shown to fail.
A trial load, a dress rehearsal and the real cut. Every run is reconciled against your trial balance, so the numbers are proven before anyone depends on them.
Bank feeds, payroll, storefronts and portals connect over documented APIs — with retries, alerting and a queue somebody owns, so a failure is a task, not a mystery.
Acceptance testing runs on migrated data with real documents, scripted per role. Sign-off means the people who will use it have used it.
The weekend is planned hour by hour, with a named owner per task and a rollback point. Nothing about go-live should be improvised.
Engineers sit with each function for the first week — posting the first invoices, running the first picks, answering questions at the desk rather than through a ticket.
Hypercare runs through two month-ends. The measure of a good implementation is not go-live day, it is the first close that finishes on time.
The engineers who built it keep the phone. Response times sit in the contract, and enhancements go through a roadmap you set each quarter.
What a DynamicsBay implementation covers, from discovery through the first clean month-end.
Two weeks of process mapping that ends in a scoped plan, a timeline and a number. You keep the document regardless of what you decide next.
Masters, open items and history are migrated three times before go-live — a trial, a dress rehearsal and the real cut — so nothing is discovered on the night.
GST, VAT, e-invoicing and statutory reporting for India, the GCC and the EU, configured and tested against your own filings.
Bank feeds, payroll, e-commerce and the portals we build sit on documented APIs with retries and an error queue somebody actually watches.
Finance, sales, purchase and warehouse each get their own sessions in their own data — not a demo company nobody recognises.
Named engineers, response times in the contract, and hypercare through the first two month-ends before you move to standard support.
Business Central suits most operations up to roughly 300 users and one or two legal entities. Finance & Operations earns its cost at multi-entity, multi-country scale or heavy manufacturing. Discovery answers this with your numbers, not a rule of thumb.
Process workshops with each function, a fit-gap against standard Business Central, a data assessment, an integration list, the licence model and a costed timeline. Typically two weeks.
Masters and open transactions always. Closed history is usually better kept as an archive you can query than migrated in full — we will tell you where the line pays for itself.
The same engineers. We do not hand off to a support pool that has never seen your build; the implementation team runs hypercare and stays as your named contacts.
Yes, and often do. We start with an audit of the existing build and tell you plainly what to keep, what to rework and what it will cost.
Two weeks, fixed fee, and a scoped plan you own whether or not you build it with us.
Twenty-one days, no card. We set the environment up with your own data structure so the trial is worth running.
