On March 5th, join us for our first CRM Horror story webinar, “A Dynamics 365 CE Cautionary Tale of Customization and Poor Partnership.” We will analyze the experience of a real company that highlights the costly consequences of an ill-informed Dynamics 365 CE partner and how you, as a client, can avoid getting into the same situation.
Anya Ciecierski, co-founder of CRM Software Blog, will lead the discussion alongside Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE experts Greg Williams and Kayla Rohde of Western Computer.
In this webinar, Kayla and Greg will shed light on a real-life scenario where a security company found itself entangled in an over-customized Dynamics 365 CE system, leading to operational chaos and financial strain.
Kayla will talk about how the client’s previous partner’s lack of familiarity with Dynamics 365 CE out-of-the-box functionality resulted in a system riddled with unnecessary customizations, costing the client both time and money.
The repercussions of over-customization were far-reaching. From inventory mismanagement to duplicate data entry and operational inefficiencies, the client’s once-promising CRM system became a burden rather than a useful tool. With every Microsoft update, the system became more fragile, posing a risk to the company’s operations and revenue streams.
Greg will further dissect the root causes behind why the project went wrong and how it could have been prevented. Plus, how Western Computer was able to untangle the mess and at what cost.
Throughout the webinar, Kayla and Greg will share valuable insights on identifying red flags in partnership evaluation and offer actionable advice for companies considering Dynamics 365 CE implementations.
From understanding out-of-the-box functionalities to vetting partners based on industry experience and change management capabilities, attendees will gain practical strategies to navigate the Dynamics 365 CE landscape successfully.
