Got to say Proximo3 registering to post a message on this thread is frankly hilarious and laughable.
Hi Mark, Andrew, Iain, Alison + Rachel - I didn't suggest you as I haven't got a clue what you actually do - and given that you are all chiefs without any other staff there are better options available...

I'd go for a smaller more nimble partner.

What discounts there are for Dynamics though?
Azure resources don't get any charity discounts. They can get some credits added to the subscription but the resource costs are the same.
M365 gets huge charity/academic/government discounts.

but you best plan is to go to Microsoft and get their recommendations based on what you want because you will save £0,000s if the company has done it before and knows how to do what you need.
Edit - Praqmatiq may have decent people - the ones I knew there have left though.

It's a BIG BIG BIG ERP package. Like SAP but will fewer people who understand it.
If it's just a CRM they need perhaps Salesforce is gonna be a lot simpler/cheaper?
This needs requirements gathering and a solution architecture before choosing a product IMO.
The front-office apps, based on the Power Platform and Dataverse
The back-office ERP apps, based on Azure and X++
The SMB ERP package Business Central (formerly Nav/Navision), based on AL
Salesforce isn't any simpler and costs about twice as much for fewer features.

If it is a charity they should go to Microsoft directly and get vastly cost reduced licenses

On one side there is a baby SAP that does finance, warehousing - which is what you seem to be thinking about
You then have Dynamics Customer Engagement / CRM / PowerApps side of things and that is what the OP is talking about here.
The problem everyone in the industry has is that Dynamics is a name that Microsoft use to sell a number of very different products...
On the upside it does make it very easy to identify which agencies have the first idea what they are asking for skillset wise.Last edited by eek; 21 August 2023, 10:50.

MS Dynamics 365 CRM Partner / Consultancy Recommendations
Hi All,
I'm working with a charitable client of mine to help them implement MS Dynamics 365 CRM.
They are an SME and their focus is on using CRM for training provision - taking payments for courses, enquiries and lead generation from interested trainees.
The RFP process is just starting and I'd welcome suggestions from experienced contractors who could recommend any suitable Dynamics 365 CRM consultancies / partners.
There could potentially be some opportunities for independent contractors but the client would be unlikely to go for a small independent contractor / LTD
Welcome any recommendations please
