Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner services that go live in 14 weeks.
Fixed-price engagements. Named consultant from day one. 14-week average go-live across Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance, and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain for manufacturers, distributors, and professional services firms across North America.
What is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner?
A certified partner scopes, licenses, configures, integrates, trains, and supports your Dynamics 365 environment. Redefine Solutions holds the Solutions Partner for Business Applications designation, renewed annually across performance, skilling, and customer success criteria set by Microsoft. Every engagement is assigned one named consultant who stays accountable from kickoff through hypercare.
The wrong Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation partner costs more than the right one
Most implementation overruns are not caused by the software. They are caused by partners who bill by the hour, staff projects with whoever is available, and define success as go-live rather than operational outcomes.
What goes wrong with most Dynamics 365 partners
Time-and-materials billing
Every issue discovered mid-build becomes a new invoice. Clients absorb the cost of their partner's underestimate.
Rotating delivery team
The person who scoped the project is never the person who builds it. Context is lost, mistakes multiply, timelines slip.
Generic templates applied to specialized industries
A retail configuration forced onto a discrete manufacturer produces a system users abandon within 90 days.
No accountability after go-live
Go-live is the finish line for most partners. Operational outcomes (faster closes, accurate inventory, real reporting) are never measured.
What Redefine delivers instead
Fixed-price statement of work with one contracted number
If we underestimate the build, we absorb it. "Configuration changes required to meet the agreed functional specification are covered at no additional charge."
One named consultant, discovery to hypercare
The consultant who scoped your project builds it, trains your users, and answers the phone on go-live morning.
Industry-specific configuration, not generic setup
Manufacturers get material requirements planning, production orders, and lot tracking. Distributors get three-way match and warehouse management. Not a retail template.
Outcomes tracked at 30, 90, and 180 days
Month-end close time, accounts payable cycle time, inventory accuracy, material requirements planning run frequency: measured and reported against the pre-implementation baseline.

Rescue and recovery for stalled Dynamics 365 implementations
We have recovered Dynamics 365 implementations that were 14 or more weeks behind, had corrupted data migration, or went live with a configuration that users could not operate. Recovery starts with a 2-week technical audit and a fixed-price remediation plan.
2-week technical and functional audit of current state
Data migration rollback and clean re-migration if required
Compressed timeline delivery: 8 weeks from audit to live

Wholesale Distribution · Dynamics 365 Business Central
Multi-channel distributor with inventory, orders, and customer data spread across disconnected legacy systems and manual workflows.
The problem
Fragmented systems created data inconsistencies and increased operational overhead. Manual reconciliation between platforms consumed hours daily. The business needed scalability without rebuilding its data management from scratch.
The result
0
Manual data entry tasks eliminated. Real-time cross-platform data synchronization delivered on go-live day. No manual reconciliation required post-cutover.
The custom Dynamics 365 Business Central solution streamlined inventory management, order processing, and cross-platform data synchronization. Integrated systems now deliver consistent, reliable data across the entire organization, and the resource planning foundation supports continued growth.

Questions to ask before signing a statement of work
Most partner selection decisions are made without asking the questions that predict delivery risk. Here are the questions that matter, and exactly how we answer each one.
Pricing model
Fixed-price statement of work with $0 change orders for the scope we committed to. If we underestimate the build, we absorb the hours. No surprise invoice in week 8.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 consultant assignment
One named consultant who stays from scoping through hypercare. The person who scoped your project is the person who builds it and answers the phone on go-live morning.
Industry depth
Manufacturing, distribution, and professional services, with module-specific configuration per vertical. Not a broad-coverage template adapted at the last minute.
Go-live timeline
14-week average, with a week-by-week schedule published at kickoff and built around your data, your integrations, and your user count.
Post-go-live support
90-day hypercare included in every fixed-price engagement, with a managed services retainer available after. Support is not sold off to a different team.
Microsoft designation and track record
Solutions Partner for Business Applications, renewed annually, with 94% on-time delivery documented across 47 engagements. Ask any partner for a documented reference list.
Questions before you decide
If your question is not here, book a 30-minute call. No sales pitch. You speak directly with the consultant who would run your engagement.
Book A 30-Minute CallA Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner scopes, licenses, configures, customizes, trains, and supports your Dynamics 365 environment. The right partner owns the entire engagement: data migration, integration to third-party systems, user acceptance testing, go-live support, and post-launch optimization. They should not hand you a configured environment and disappear.
Microsoft replaced its Gold and Silver competency designations with Solutions Partner designations in 2022. The Solutions Partner for Business Applications designation requires a minimum of 70 partner capability score points across performance (net new revenue and customer adds), skilling (certified individuals holding MB-300, MB-800, MB-500, MB-330), and customer success. The designation must be renewed annually.
Our average Business Central go-live is 14 weeks from a signed statement of work. Finance and Supply Chain implementations for mid-market organizations typically run 16 to 22 weeks depending on integration complexity and data migration volume. We publish a week-by-week project schedule at kickoff. That schedule is built around your data, your integrations, and your user count, not a template.
Our statement of work quotes a single number for a defined scope. Change orders are $0 unless the client changes scope after signature. Our contract contains the explicit clause: "Configuration changes required to meet the agreed functional specification are covered at no additional charge." If our team underestimates the build, we absorb the hours. You do not receive a surprise invoice in week 8.
Every fixed-price engagement includes a 90-day hypercare package at no additional charge. During the first two weeks post-cutover, we run daily check-ins. After 90 days, clients can move to a monthly managed services retainer covering incident response, minor enhancements, license management, and proactive system health monitoring. ParkView Group has maintained an active retainer for 23 months with zero service level breaches.
Who this is for, and who it is not
We would rather turn down a project than take one that will not succeed. Here is where we are the right partner, and where we are not.
Good fit when
- You are a manufacturer, distributor, or professional services firm needing industry-specific configuration, not a generic setup.
- You want one fixed-price number you can budget against, not an open time-and-materials contract.
- Your team can give 3 to 4 hours per week to scoping, user acceptance testing, and feedback during the build.
- You want operational outcomes measured at 30, 90, and 180 days, not just a go-live date.
Not a fit if
- You want a low-cost reseller to flip on a standard template and walk away at go-live.
- You need a build started this week with no scoping conversation and no defined requirements.
- No one on your side can commit a few hours a week to decisions, testing, and sign-off during the project.
