Today’s Business ChallengesEnterprises running legacy versions of Dynamics 365 on premises are missing out on the benefits of cloud. As part of its “Cloud-First, Mobile-First” strategy, Microsoft is rolling out the latest and greatest features to the cloud and focusing on developing products for a cloud infrastructure. This presents a challenge to enterprises bogged down by legacy on-premises applications: What’s the best, most efficient, most cost-effective way to migrate Dynamics 365 to the cloud?

Your organization may have customized implementations, and the upgradability, scope and costs of a cloud migration are unknown. In addition, the services required to operate in the cloud are also unknown. Those contemplating the move

need to use familiar master data and configurations to assess how closely their current business processes map to modern cloud versions.

DXC’s “Bench Strength” Supports Cloud MigrationsDXC’s QuickStarts solution applies decades of experience in Dynamics software and puts it to work for you. We’ve been implementing cloud solutions for many years and have applied all that we’ve learned to this QuickStarts program. From anticipating code remediation efforts to data migration, we’ll cover every aspect of the migration to ensure that the approach is sound for your business. With DXC, you benefit from thousands of professionals throughout the globe with Dynamics 365 expertise.

Compelling Events

DXC Cloud Migration Services for Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement was developed to help enterprises face specific accounting and business trends:

Expansion to the Cloud

With an eye on lower costs, increased flexibility, and access to the latest Microsoft has to offer, enterprises are moving customer engagement applica-tions to the cloud.

Move to Continuous Delivery

Having the ability to add new features on a continuous basis allows enterprises to stay more competitive while reducing the long-term cost of operating critical business applications.

Need for Process Optimization

By re-evaluating business processes with modern and updated cloud versions, enterprises can eliminate many unnecessary customized processes while clearing the way for a more streamlined out-of-the-box process. Customizations that need to be upgraded need to be evaluated for improved architec-ture and optimized by migrating them to the cloud.

Continuous Delivery. Implement new features and versions while avoiding most of the costs and disruptions of maintaining up-to-date systems. As Microsoft develops new features and functions, you can simply add them, without the risks of typical on-premises implementations.

Project Clarity. Enterprises that engage with DXC’s Dynamics 365 QuickStarts solution will get a roadmap that is based on a close analysis of your existing applications landscape. This gives you 100% clarity on the cost, timeline, resources and impact of the migration, and allows you to maintain a continuous delivery stance far into the future.

Standardized Processes. A new trial tenancy and application will be configured, and existing client master data and configurations will be migrated, allowing you to map current business processes to new standard out-of-the-box processes.

Improved User Adoption. Process mapping exercises, overview concept training and demo walkthroughs help encourage user adoption. Seamless synchronization with on-premises Active Directory enables a simple and consistent sign-on process.
