Great consultancy is all about knowing and understanding a client’s business, as well as ability to reimagine their business processes in the context of Dynamics AX/D365 features and modules.

At Cittros, we have helped international enterprises successfully design entire Dynamics AX/D365 solutions. Our senior functional consultants can offer profound insights into the standard Dynamics AX/D365 modules, with a specific focus on finance, accounts receivable, accounts payable, project management, professional services, and expense management.

We follow the Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step methodology as a roadmap to each successful implementation, and more precisely these steps:

- Analyze business process requirements and identify possible workflow optimizations
- Identify gaps and fits between your business and Dynamics AX/D365 features and modules
- Design and scope the deployment and implement change management
- Enable users and provide training for decision makers and domain experts
- Provide thorough design documentation that’s easy to understand for both users and developers
- Optimize the collaboration within your organization, while managing issue tracking
