Why move to the cloud

Dynamics 365 Online gives your organisation a stronger foundation for the future, while creating the opportunity to modernise the parts of your system that still matter.

A modern cloud platform

Move to a cloud-hosted platform with regular updates, ongoing Microsoft investment, and access to new capabilities as they become available.

Connect your business systems

Integrate Dynamics 365 more effectively with Microsoft 365, the Power Platform, and other systems across your organisation.

Built to grow with your business

Support new users, teams, processes, and capabilities without being constrained by ageing infrastructure.

Extend with Power Platform

Use Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot, and Dataverse to expand capabilities and automate business processes.

Simplify and modernise

Review business rules, remove outdated customisations, and replace fragile workarounds with a cleaner, more maintainable solution.

Approach

A practical migration-first approach

The clearest way to identify what needs attention is to establish your existing solution in Dynamics 365 Online, validate how it performs, and improve what delivers the most value.

01

Prepare the cloud environment

Set up the Dynamics 365 Online environment, establish the security baseline, configure users, and prepare the existing solution for migration.

02

Migrate the existing solution

Import the current configuration, including tables, fields, forms, views, dashboards, workflows, business rules, and other customisations.

03

Validate the migrated solution

Review security, access, data relationships, forms, business processes, reporting, and historical information to identify issues and gaps.

04

Improve and modernise

Repair or replace legacy customisations, modernise automation, rebuild reporting and integrations where required, and retire components that no longer add value.

05

Migrate and validate the data

Bring across core records, custom data, relationships, activities, notes, and attachments, then confirm completeness and data quality.

06

Cut over and stabilise

Complete the final migration, prepare users and teams for go-live, resolve issues, and support the solution through post-migration stabilisation.
