Rapid Cloud Transition assignment completed for Global Retailer
Engage Group has recently completed a Rapid Cloud Transition assignment at a global retailer. The objective has been to prepare the organization for an upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365, both in terms of providing input to the business case but also to ensure that the client is leveraging the vast amount of innovation continuously released by Microsoft to create long term business value.
The Rapid Cloud Transition is a framework developed by Engage Group to address a significant market demand and consist of the following key pillars:
- Solution Strategy Assessment – Application Portfolio Management artefacts to ensure Dynamics 365 fits into the organization’s target architecture
- Business Value Assessment – Anchor business value by demonstrating how Dynamics 365 could address current challenges
- Upgrade Assessment – A review of current code base, related KPI:s and recommended upgrade path
- Decision Material – Input to business case such as sourcing model, resource needs and high-level project plan
“A lift-and-shift to the cloud for critical workloads such as the ERP-system demands a shift in mindset since it has a major impact on the entire organization. By adopting a structured approach such as the “Rapid Cloud Transition”, one takes a holistic approach to the digital transformation journey rather than viewing it as pure IT-project significantly improving the success rate.” – Tobias Lång, CTO Engage Group
“We have refined our offering over the past years and now have a market-leading concept for building a strong business case for the Dynamics 365 platform. In the process, we have the privilege of getting to know key employees and provide well anchored decision material to top management. This gives us a unique relationship with the customer that lasts over time where we mix management consulting with a deep understanding of the business applications from Microsoft.” – Henrik Hasselblad, Managing Partner Engage Group
