Dynamics 365

One connected CRM and ERP platform for sales, service, finance, and operations — configured around how your business actually runs.

One platform for customer and operational work

Dynamics 365 is Microsoft's cloud platform for customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning. It brings together sales, customer service, field service, finance, supply chain management, and, for many mid-sized operations, Business Central, in a set of connected applications that share data, security, and reporting rather than operating as separate systems.

For many organizations, the problem is not a lack of systems. It is fragmentation. Customer information lives in one tool, service history in another, finance in a third, and field operations in spreadsheets or email. Teams reconcile the same record in several places, reporting lags behind reality, and leaders make decisions on partial or outdated information. Dynamics 365 addresses that fragmentation by giving each team a purpose-built application on a common data foundation.

How the applications fit together

Sales manages pipelines, accounts, contacts, quotes, and activities. Customer Service manages cases, service-level commitments, knowledge, and omnichannel interaction history. Field Service schedules and dispatches technicians, tracks work orders and assets, and connects field work back to the customer record. Finance and Supply Chain Management handle general ledger, budgeting, procurement, inventory, warehousing, and manufacturing operations. Business Central serves organizations that need integrated finance, sales, purchasing, and operations in a single application.

Across all of these applications, Dynamics 365 runs on Dataverse, the same data layer that underpins the Power Platform. That shared foundation is what makes integration with Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint practical rather than a custom integration project for every connection. HarjTech helps enterprise clients assess where Dynamics 365 fits, configure it to match real processes, connect it to the rest of the Microsoft stack, and govern it so it stays reliable, secure, and adoptable after go-live.

Why work with HarjTech instead of a Big Four firm?

Large firms bring scale, but enterprise clients often find that scale comes with layered teams, extended timelines, and handoffs between sales, design, and delivery. HarjTech works differently. You speak with senior people who stay involved in the engagement, scope is defined clearly before work begins, and the focus is on a configuration your team can actually adopt and govern. We are deliberate about scope, documentation, and handover so the platform does not depend on us to keep running.

Our work is Microsoft-focused. Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, and Microsoft 365 are the core of our practice, not one line among many. That focus means we can advise on how Dynamics 365 fits your existing Microsoft estate, what to configure and what to leave alone, and how to govern it after go-live. If your situation calls for a capability outside our scope, we will say so on the scoping call rather than stretching into work we cannot support well. The right fit is confirmed together, before any engagement begins.

Who actually does the work on a HarjTech Dynamics 365 engagement?

HarjTech engagements are led by senior consultants who are accountable for design, configuration, integration, and delivery decisions. Depending on scope, delivery may include vetted subcontractors working under HarjTech's direction for specialized configuration, migration, or integration tasks. In every case, there is a clear point of accountability, a documented scope, and a consistent approach to design, testing, and handover. Your team is not left to coordinate separate vendors.

Client participation matters as well. Your process owners, data owners, and system administrators contribute process knowledge, validate configurations, and confirm that the platform matches how work actually happens. We define roles, decision points, and time commitments before work begins so your team knows what is expected. If you have internal administrators who will own the platform after go-live, we involve them early so they build familiarity during the engagement rather than receiving a finished system with no context.

Do you work on a fixed-scope or time-and-materials basis?

HarjTech uses both models, and the right choice depends on how well-defined the scope is at the outset. Fixed-scope engagements suit work where requirements, applications, data sources, and integrations are clear enough to define deliverables, milestones, and acceptance criteria in advance. Time-and-materials suits work where scope will evolve, where discovery is ongoing, or where your team needs flexible capacity alongside internal delivery. In either case, scope, deliverables, and reporting are documented before work begins.

During the scoping call, we discuss which model fits your situation and why. If fixed-scope is appropriate, we define what is included, what is excluded, and how changes are handled. If time-and-materials is appropriate, we define how work is prioritized, tracked, and reviewed. Investment is confirmed on the scoping call once scope is understood. The goal is a commercial arrangement that matches the work, with no surprises about what is covered.

What is Dynamics 365 and what does it cover?

Dynamics 365 is Microsoft's family of cloud business applications for customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning. On the CRM side, it covers Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service. On the ERP side, it covers Finance, Supply Chain Management, and Business Central. Each application is designed for a specific function, but they share a common data layer, security model, and integration approach through Dataverse.

In practice, that means a customer record, a service case, a work order, an invoice, and an inventory movement can all relate to the same account without being re-entered in separate systems. Teams work in the application that matches their job, while leaders get reporting drawn from connected data rather than reconciled spreadsheets. The right starting point depends on where the pain is greatest. Some organizations begin with Sales or Customer Service. Others begin with Finance or Field Service. A scoping call helps identify which application, and which sequence, makes sense for your organization.

How does Dynamics 365 integrate with Power Platform, Dataverse, and Microsoft 365?

Dynamics 365 is built on Dataverse, the same data layer that underpins Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI. That shared foundation means a record created in Dynamics 365 can be used in a Power App, updated by a Power Automate flow, and reported in Power BI without a separate integration for each connection. Common patterns include approvals and notifications in Teams, activity tracking from Outlook, document storage in SharePoint, and dashboards in Power BI.

Integration with your existing Microsoft stack is part of every engagement we scope. We review which systems should remain authoritative for which data, how records should sync, and where automation should replace manual handoffs. Where a line-of-business system outside Microsoft needs to connect, we document the integration pattern and confirm whether it is handled through Dataverse, a connector, Power Automate, or a defined interface. The goal is a connected estate where data moves once, is governed in one place, and is visible where teams already work.

Which Dynamics 365 applications should we start with?

The right starting point depends on the business problem you are trying to solve first. If pipeline visibility, quote follow-up, and account history are the issue, Sales is often the natural first step. If case backlogs, inconsistent service levels, or fragmented service history are the issue, Customer Service is usually the priority. If scheduling, dispatch, and asset tracking are the constraint, Field Service comes first. Finance or Supply Chain Management leads when close cycles, procurement, inventory, or reporting are the bottleneck.

HarjTech does not recommend adopting every application at once. A phased approach keeps scope manageable, lets teams adopt one set of processes at a time, and produces usable results sooner. During assessment and scoping, we review current processes, data, integrations, and internal capacity, then propose a sequence that addresses the most urgent operational need first while keeping later phases in view. That sequencing decision is confirmed on the scoping call before any implementation work is proposed.

What happens on the scoping call?

The scoping call is a working conversation, not a sales presentation. We review what you are trying to achieve with Dynamics 365, which processes are causing the most friction, what systems you run today, how your teams are structured, and what a successful outcome would look like. We also discuss constraints such as timelines, internal capacity, data quality, integrations, and governance requirements. The goal is to understand enough to propose a clear, scoped engagement.

After the call, you receive a summary of what was discussed, the proposed scope, the applications and phases involved, the timeline range, and the next steps. There is no obligation to proceed, and no configuration work begins until scope is agreed. To get the most from the call, bring a brief description of your current CRM or ERP setup, the processes that matter most, and any deadlines or dependencies that affect timing. Book the call using the button on this page.

We run a legacy CRM or ERP. How does migration to Dynamics 365 work?

Migration begins with understanding what you have today: which systems hold customer, service, financial, or operational records, how clean and complete that data is, and which history needs to move. HarjTech supports migration planning, data mapping, cleansing guidance, and validation so the new system starts with records teams can trust. We do not recommend lifting every historical record without review, because legacy systems often carry duplicates, inactive accounts, and inconsistent fields that create problems in the new environment.

A typical migration sequence includes inventory of source systems, mapping of fields and relationships to Dynamics 365, trial loads into a non-production environment, validation by the people who use the data daily, and a cutover plan that covers timing, communications, and rollback considerations. For organizations with a system that must stay in place, we define what migrates, what stays, and how the two systems exchange data going forward. Timelines and scope are confirmed on the scoping call.
