5 steps to the most suitable Microsoft Business Application

We regularly hear from prospects that they do not always fully understand the world of Microsoft Business Applications. What is needed is not readily available, and there is no central point of contact where you, as a customer, can turn if you are interested in Microsoft applications. And since Microsoft only works with implementation partners, each with their own proposition, you often receive conflicting advice. In the coming weeks, we will guide you through a number of topics, answering frequently asked questions regarding these subjects as thoroughly and neutrally as possible.

1. Microsoft’s strategy

Before we discuss Microsoft Business Applications, it is wise to provide some background on Microsoft’s strategy and its implications for you as an end customer. Additionally, it is important to carefully consider how the Microsoft Partner you are considering handles this. We will be happy to tell you more about this in the coming week.

2. A wide range of solutions

Another topic that often comes up is which business application best suits their needs. Especially in the world of Microsoft, there are quite a few solutions that often share overlapping objectives and address similar problems. Furthermore, Microsoft Partners often develop the platform in their own way, resulting in applications that differ slightly based on their propositions. We would like to provide a number of practical examples to help you understand what to consider and which factors are important when making a suitable choice.

3. The use of Microsoft AppSource

Microsoft Business Applications can be extended relatively easily by downloading a required function from the Microsoft AppSource. However, it is important to be aware that your environment may react differently if you simply start downloading apps on your own initiative and without consulting your implementation partners. We would be happy to provide you with more information regarding the pros and cons, and how best to work with the AppSource.

4. The search for a Microsoft partner

The fourth topic we cover concerns the process of finding a suitable Microsoft Partner. After all, finding a Microsoft Partner is not always easy. How and where do you find a suitable partner who knows their stuff? How do you select the final partner, and what should you look for when sitting down with multiple candidates? And also importantly, what happens if you are not satisfied with the chosen partner and decide to part ways?
