The Ultimate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guide with Big Bang
Big Bang can help you implement, reimplement, or rescue Microsoft Dynamics 365 for companies of any size, industry, and market.
As an implementation partner offering consulting services since 2014, we’ve handled hundreds of successful implementation projects – and many rescue missions to pick up where others could not succeed. With this experience comes in-depth knowledge of all checkpoints and possible issues that could come up during an implementation – simple or more complex.
It’s our job to guide you to get the best out of the solution immediately and in the long term.
Did you know that approximately half of our customers come from a failed implementation? They come to us because they know we have a thorough and global understanding of ERP and CRM systems, including the MS 365 implementation process and how to best integrate it into their global IT infrastructure.
Big Bang’s expert consultant teams offer unique end-to-end implementation services that are agile to your business needs. From our proprietary GAB’s Pyramid™ framework to our rescue services, Big Bang makes it a point to understand your business processes and the project’s reality altogether.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Implementation Steps:
As an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, MS Dynamics will likely interact with all departments of a company – directly or indirectly. As is the case, a thorough review of the business process is required because bringing your systems online can impact everyone.
At Big Bang, we treat your business like our own, which is why we give advice based on best practices, leading solutions, and valuable experience. We are versed in implementing and integrating software, remaining grounded to the reality of what happens after the software selection- what works, what does not work, what should work based on what you read, but does not.
Big Bang has been involved in the digital transformation of over 500 organizations. Our experts know which pitfalls to look out for and proactively avoid – across various industries and geographies while leveraging the best-practices. We know how to ensure a smooth transition through times of change, and it starts with our proprietary implementation methodology, The Big Bang Experience®.
The Big Bang Experience® is the standard delivery methodology for any Cloud Solution, and the steps outline the main activities involved in the delivery of each phase. Even though our 7-steps are structured, we’re flexible to remain within your budget and timeline; let us know so we can show you how we adapt our process when required.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Implementation Issues: Big Bang to the Rescue
Customization is one of the most significant ways to get the most out of ERP systems. Workflows save time and reduce errors, but only if systems are connected and programmed correctly. Perhaps you had an internal team conduct a self-implementation, and there was a turnover, leaving a gap in expertise or an unfinished implementation project. Big Bang consultants can jump in where the others left off to remediate an issue or rescue the project as a whole.
We quickly re-validate from the beginning where decisions were made: Is the problem the partner, the product, the approach, a combination of issues, or something else?
We have a trained team ready to quickly address and resolve your implementation issues with efficiency and expertise.
We believe that a crisis is not an excuse to skip best practices because you’ll be no better off.
Any good implementation needs great optimization, and that's why so many people come to us. Skilled in support and rescue missions, we have proven success fixing problems others couldn't.

We provide comprehensive, role-specific training sessions to ensure your team is fully prepared and confident in using the new system. We also provide documentation and ongoing support to facilitate a smooth and effective user adoption.
The timeline is tailored to your specific needs. A straightforward implementation can be completed in a few months, while more complex projects with extensive customization and data migration may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial planning phase.
The modular nature of Dynamics 365 is a major benefit. Our implementations are designed for scalability, allowing you to easily add new modules (e.g., Commerce, Human Resources) as your business grows. We can assist you with this expansion to ensure seamless integration.
Yes, deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem is a key part of our service. We seamlessly connect Dynamics 365 with tools like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Power BI to maximize efficiency and provide a unified user experience.
Our data migration specialists develop a custom strategy to securely transfer your legacy data into Dynamics 365. We ensure data integrity and compliance throughout the process, minimizing risk and preparing your new system for success.
A MS Dynamics implementation can take anywhere from 4 weeks to a couple of months to half a year, depending on the project’s scale. Accurate timelines are scoped out at the beginning of the project so that the business can accommodate, adapt, or expect accordingly. Our goal is to implement MS Dynamics as quickly as possible while managing the potential risks associated with changing systems and business processes. When a consulting firm takes too long to implement, the benefits are hard to achieve since the ROI (including time invested by your team) needs to be recouped.
There is the base cost that depends on the size of the project. And adding on extra modules and third-party apps and connectors above the base will come at an additional cost. But often, this doesn’t have to come all at once. We can work with you to determine the priority level for all features and build a customized plan, including pricing, based on your IT strategy and growth goals.
Perhaps you have only a very basic accounting system that does only fundamental transactions like bills, invoices, and financial statements, and you require a new ERP solution implementation. Or perhaps through recent years of growth, your ERP system has amounted to so many customizations and has become too robust and cumbersome to function optimally, and you require a rescue mission. As your digital transformation and implementation partner, we assess the best option that is unique to your needs, an ERP system that links your organization’s transactions from start to end.
