<\/a>Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step methodology is a comprehensive implementation methodology Microsoft Dynamics 365<\/a> ERP system. Implementing such a large and demanding system can bring high costs and risks, for partners and clients. Problems in implementation can easily lead to a domino effect \u2013 project extensions and additional losses of time and money. Thus, instead of helping the company, the ERP system makes it worse. This is precisely why Microsoft introduced the Sure Step implementation methodology, to facilitate the entire process and enable partners to quickly resolve problems. Thanks to this methodology, implementations are successful, completed on time and remain within budget<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>What is the Sure Step methodology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/navbiz.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/MD-5-1024x191.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Sure Step methodology is divided into six main and two additional phases. The main stages are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>1. Diagnostics<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn the diagnostic phase, a high-level analysis of the client's business processes is carried out in order to gain a deeper understanding of the functioning of their business. The implementation team carefully researches and analyzes the client's existing business processes. This initial phase of the project allows partners and clients to jointly agree on the approach and scope of the project. Such a preparatory phase is extremely important because it creates the foundation for a successful implementation of Microsoft Dynamics <\/em>Business Central<\/em><\/a> system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>2. Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\nDuring the analysis, details of business processes are identified to better understand the client's business. This allows the implementation team to gain a comprehensive view of existing business activities and operational patterns. In this phase, possible challenges and potential areas for improvement are identified to ensure the best adaptation of the Microsoft Dynamics Business Central system to the client's business processes. The result of the analysis phase is a precise definition of requirements and goals, which allows for the development of adequate plans for the next steps of the implementation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>3. Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn this phase, a way is found to implement existing processes and meet the client's needs within the Microsoft Dynamics system. If there are multiple possible solutions, the best strategy for the specific case is selected.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>4. Development<\/h3>\n\n\n\nDevelopment encompasses the bulk of the development work. Existing features are adapted, new ones are created, and data is migrated. Each feature undergoes testing, including security testing. The development phase ends when most of the features have been tested and the data has been successfully migrated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>5. Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe implementation phase includes setting up the ERP system at the customer's premises and training key users. User scenario testing is also performed at the system level. <\/em>Once the system is launched and all tests are completed successfully, and the final master data migration is performed, the implementation is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>6. Production work<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe last phase is the phase of production work in which open questions are resolved and the project is finalized. After the end of the project, the user continues to be provided with ongoing support (for activities that occurred after the end of the project and involve the user).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
