“Full of case study experience providing a really valuable insight which can be turned into a plan and action for Dynamics 365.”

—Phil Scully, Group CIO, Costa Coffee

“Up until now I've not seen a book I would recommend to our customers going on the Dynamics 365 digital transformation journey. Let's be clear, implementing ERP is complex, sometimes traumatic, and filled with challenges – save yourself some time and money and increase your chances of success by absorbing this A–Z guide before you set off on your project – I'm sure it'll help.”

—Jonathan Rowley (Jonny), Senior Customer Success Manager for Business Applications, Microsoft UK

“If you want to know the reality of digitally transforming the business and the transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, read this book. You will see the business transformation like a movie with the advantage of seeing all the phases, actor roles, problems, risk, the fun, the boring, and controls that need to be considered, then present it to the project team to analyze, thus allowing for a more efficient digital transformation.”

—Carlos Villasana Gutierrez, Sr., D365 Functional Analyst, Superior Energy Services

“This is the book I wish had existed when we started our Dynamic 365 Commerce project. It examines many issues that we have learned while we faced it, but it would have been helpful if we could have identified them earlier and prepared ourselves.”

—Eric Johnson, Director, Consumer Engagement Technology, Ste Michelle Wine Estates

“Successful digital transformation based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 business applications platform doesn't just happen – you need to understand the capabilities of the platform and how other leading organizations are adopting it. This book provides exactly this, with interesting case studies and the right focus on how to adopt the platform, ensuring that it would stay ‘evergreen’ and would continue generating value for your organization many years in the future. The authors succeeded in working out a surprisingly profound book. Definitely a must-read.”

—Linas Sneideris, Associate Partner, EY

“The amount of in-depth knowledge and thought leadership from key stakeholders within the Dynamics 365 community is simply astonishing and has created a must-read book which tackles a complex topic in a very comprehensive and unbiased way.”

—Tobias Lång, Chief Technology Officer, Engage Group

“The authors of this book expose the fascinating ways to give the readers guidance on how to be successful in D365 implementation in strategic and yet step-by-step ways. They expressed each chapter in holistic, simple words, and easy to understand ways in overcoming the challenges and groundwork for the success. Everyone who has ERP project management experience can relate to this book although there's so much more in these pages. The authors touch upon the most important part of the implementation, which is the digital transformation. This is valuable, a must-read for project teams and leaders who choose Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP system.”

—Sheila Maria Taestensen, Senior Project Manager
