What is included
F&O delivered as one practice
An F&O programme touches finance, supply chain, data and integration at once. They are staffed together, because the problems cross between them.
Implementation
Finance, procurement, inventory, warehouse, production and project operations designed with Microsoft's Success by Design approach and configured to standard first.
Global design and local rollouts, so each new country is a template rather than a project.
A design that scales to the next entity.
AX upgrade
Dynamics AX 2009 and 2012 estates assessed, code reviewed, data upgraded and customisations rebuilt as extensions on F&O.
Customisations classified as keep, rebuild, replace with standard or retire.
Off an unsupported platform without rebuilding the past.
Data migration
Master data, open transactions and balances migrated with the Data Management Framework, rehearsed and reconciled.
Data quality is fixed in the source before it is moved.
Opening balances that agree on day one.
Integration
Banks, tax engines, warehouse and transport systems, ecommerce, CRM and legacy applications connected through Dataverse, APIs and Azure Integration Services.
Built with monitoring and replay, because interfaces fail.
Integrations you can support.
Reporting and Power Platform
Financial reporting, Power BI on F&O data, and Power Apps and Power Automate for the steps F&O does not cover.
Extensions built outside the core, so updates stay routine.
Reports people act on, and fewer spreadsheets.
Managed support
Functional and technical support, Lifecycle Services and environment management, and regression testing of Microsoft's service updates.
One team for the ERP, the data and the integrations around it.
Service updates without disruption.
