INVESTMENT BANK WANTS TO MODERNISE ITS ERP SYSTEM INTO THE CLOUD
End users were so engrained into ‘business as usual’ there was no bandwidth to focus on a pathway to cloud for their end of life ERP system.
Challenges
Previous version of Microsoft ERP was end of life with reliance on one vendor nationally for support
Limited features were available or never implemented making certain processes very timely and manual
Month end felt like a never ending cycle
Limited internal capabilities to run large and complex software projects
Solution
Problem was articulated with a clear project charter
Business requirements were clearly defined
SI partners were selected
Project Plan developed for D365
New Chart of Account developed
Implemented D365 and migrated data
Added Value
Continuing upgrades available through D365
Mainly ‘out of box’ features utilised to minimise any customisations
Integrations setup to other platforms such as for banking and expense management
Platform accessible via the web through any device
