Dynamics 365 support services with Priority 1 tickets answered in under 3 hours.
service-level-agreement-backed support for Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance, and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain. Priority 1 average response: 2.8 hours. One named consultant. Zero generic queues.
What is Dynamics 365 support? It is an ongoing service contract where a Microsoft-certified partner handles break-fix incidents, configuration questions, service-level-agreement-governed Priority 1 outages, and proactive system health monitoring for your live Dynamics 365 environment. Redefine assigns a named primary consultant to every account so you speak to someone who already knows your setup, not whoever picks up the phone.

Most Dynamics 365 Support Partner Models Mean Waiting In A Queue
- Ticket routed to a stranger every timeNo context. You explain your setup from scratch on every call. Time wasted, problem compounded.
- Service-level-agreement printed in the contract, invisible in practiceMost partners publish response times. Few measure them. Fewer still publish actual averages.
- Break-fix only, no proactive lensIssues surface in production because no one reviewed update waves, hotfixes, or capacity before they hit.
- Scope ambiguity leads to surprise invoicesTime-and-materials support means every question is a billable event. Finance teams hate this. It also delays tickets because users self-censor.
How We Make Support Actually Work
- Named primary consultant. Named backup.You are assigned to a specific consultant who reads your runbook before your first ticket, matched to your module stack (Business Central, Finance, or Supply Chain and Project Operations).
- Priority 1 response in the Statement of Work, enforced in practiceOur contract says Priority 1 response within 4 hours. Our actual average is 2.8 hours. Both numbers are in writing.
- Monthly update-wave review, not just firefightingBefore every Microsoft release cycle, your consultant reviews change impact against your customizations. Problems caught pre-production.
- Fixed monthly fee. Predictable budget.Every support tier is a fixed monthly figure. No per-ticket billing. No surprise invoices. Finance can plan the year.
Three Tiers. One Named Consultant. All In Writing.
Choose the coverage level that matches your risk tolerance and development roadmap. All tiers include a named primary consultant and documented service-level-agreement terms.
Value calculation: downtime hours avoided per quarter, multiplied by your average revenue per hour, less the fixed monthly fee equals the net protection value. Most Managed tier accounts pay back the retainer within the first prevented outage.
Break-Fix Coverage
Reactive ticket resolution for stable environments with occasional issues. Month-to-month, no long-term commitment.
Dynamics 365 Managed Services Retainer
Full Priority 1 service-level-agreement, proactive monitoring, and update-wave reviews. The right tier for business-critical environments.
Retainer Plus Development
Everything in Managed plus banked development hours for enhancements, integrations, and custom reporting.

Every Managed and Strategic Statement of Work includes this clause verbatim: "Client may terminate this agreement within 30 days' written notice if Redefine Innovations fails to meet documented Priority 1 response targets in any two consecutive months." We have never been terminated under this clause.
From Signed Statement Of Work To First Ticket Resolved In 10 Days
Support engagements fail when the partner learns your system after you file the first Priority 1. We read the runbook before we take the retainer.
Your named consultant joins. We document modules, user count, customizations, and pain points. No questionnaire forms.
Consultant reviews your environment, documents customizations and open issues, and identifies risk areas. Billed flat, credited against month one.
Fixed-price Statement of Work delivered with documented Priority 1, Priority 2, and Priority 3 definitions, response times, escalation paths, and termination-for-cause clause.
Ticketing channel activated. Runbook signed off. Monitoring configured. Your consultant is live and ready. First ticket handled same day if needed.
What Is In Scope
Four Situations Where This Support Model Works
Post-go-live, no internal Dynamics 365 resource
You went live 3 to 18 months ago. Your implementation partner has moved on. Your internal team handles day-to-day but cannot handle Priority 1 events or quarterly update waves without outside help.
Current partner is unresponsive or expensive
Your existing support agreement does not include an service-level-agreement, or the service-level-agreement is not enforced. You are paying for time and materials at rates that make it uncomfortable to raise non-critical issues.
Active development backlog alongside live operations
You need both a stable break-fix layer and a development resource to work through your configuration and integration backlog. The Strategic tier handles both in one retainer.
Inherited a system your team did not build
You acquired a company, changed enterprise resource planning partners, or inherited a prior implementation. Your team does not know the customizations. Our onboarding audit documents everything before we assume support.
Your Dynamics 365 Support Consultant, Named From Day One
Every retainer assigns a named primary and a named backup. The primary reads your runbook before onboarding. The backup is briefed on your setup before the primary takes a day off.

Dynamics 365 Support Outcomes From Real Engagements
Dynamics 365 Streamlines Cross-Platform Operations
Challenge. Inventory, orders, and customer data were fragmented across multiple systems, creating inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and increased operational overhead with no clear path to scalability.
Solution. A tailored Business Central environment was configured with two-way Shopify and Uniform Market integrations, a third-party logistics warehouse connection, and Microsoft automation tools to replace manual deployments.
Digital Overhaul Propels Multi-Channel Retailer To $70M
Challenge. Unified data was needed across multiple systems and sales channels. Operational complexity across inventory, orders, and fulfillment limited efficiency and decision-making speed.
Solution. Dynamics 365 (enterprise resource planning) was integrated with Power BI for real-time dashboards. A multi-channel .NET commerce solution was developed with advanced fabric calculators and dye lot matching.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Global Enterprise Resource Planning Rollout: 19 Legal Entities Unified
Challenge. Decentralized architecture across 19 global entities hindered comprehensive analysis. Reporting tools lacked customization and mobile support. Integrating all branches for consolidated financial reporting was a critical gap.
Solution. All 19 global legal entities were migrated onto a single Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations platform. Power BI was connected to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Field Service, SQL, and Excel for comprehensive business intelligence reporting.
Revenue Scales From $14M To $90M With Dynamics enterprise resource planning Integration
Challenge. No unified visibility across 30 stores and over one million inventory items. Manual processes and fragmented integrations slowed decision-making.
Solution. Custom Power BI dashboards connected to Dynamics 365 (enterprise resource planning) and customer relationship management. RESTful application programming interfaces integrated the enterprise resource planning system with mobile applications. Headless ecommerce introduced for centralized inventory.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Stabilization: Closing Gaps After A Prior Implementation
Challenge. Standard Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations was live but technical gaps remained. Costing ran through spreadsheets. Enterprise asset management was not connected. User security roles were creating complexity.
Solution. A Price Workbench extension was developed for in-system costing. Enterprise Asset Management was deployed across four sites with Extended Data Security implemented for data protection.
Other Ways Redefine Can Help
Common Questions About Microsoft Dynamics 365 Support
If a question is not covered here, ask it on the discovery call. We will answer it before the Statement of Work.
Dynamics 365 support covers break-fix incident resolution, service-level-agreement-backed ticket handling, named consultant access, proactive update-wave monitoring, and ongoing configuration optimization. Scope varies by tier: Essential covers break-fix and Priority 2 and Priority 3 tickets. Managed adds Priority 1 service-level-agreement, unlimited tickets, and update reviews. Strategic adds banked development hours and quarterly roadmap planning.
Managed tier: contractual Priority 1 response within 4 hours. Strategic tier: contractual Priority 1 response within 2 hours. Actual average across all active Managed and Strategic contracts is 2.8 hours. That average is published because we track it per account and include it in quarterly reviews.
Yes. Every retainer assigns a named primary consultant and a named backup. The primary is your main contact and handles most tickets. The backup is briefed on your setup so they can step in without asking you to re-explain your environment. You are never passed to a generic support queue.
Yes. We perform a paid onboarding assessment to document your configuration, customizations, integrations, and open issues before assuming support. This is billed at a flat rate and completed within 10 business days. The output is a runbook that the assigned consultant owns going forward.
We support Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, and Dynamics 365 Project Operations. We also support Microsoft Dynamics NAV environments under extended support. We do not currently support Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, Marketing, or Field Service modules independently of a Finance or Business Central engagement.
Managed and Strategic tiers are 12-month agreements with a 30-day termination-for-cause clause. Essential (break-fix) is available on a month-to-month basis with 30-day notice for cancellation. There are no long-form lock-ins on Essential.
On the Strategic tier, unused development and configuration hours roll over for up to 90 days. This means a quiet month can bank time toward a larger project the following quarter. Essential and Managed tiers do not include banked hours as they are incident-based retainers rather than time-and-deliverable models.
Is This Support Model The Right Fit For You?
Good Fit When
- You went live on Dynamics 365 in the last 3 to 18 months and your implementation partner has moved on.
- Your team handles day-to-day operations but needs outside help on Priority 1 events and update waves.
- You need a fixed monthly fee and a documented service-level-agreement your finance team can plan against.
- You want a named consultant who reads your runbook before the first ticket, not a generic queue.
- You have an active development backlog and want the same partner handling support and enhancements.
Not A Fit If
- You only need a one-time fix and no ongoing engagement. Look at our 30-Day Assessment instead.
- You are pre-go-live and looking for an implementation partner. Implementation lives in a separate engagement.
- Your environment runs Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, Marketing, or Field Service in isolation. We support those only alongside Finance or Business Central.
- You want pay-per-ticket time and materials only. Our retainers are fixed monthly fees, not hourly billing.
