Migrating Your CRM from On-Prem to the Cloud
Last month, members of our Business Applications team attended DynamicsCon, an exclusive event that brought together thousands of Microsoft professionals. We were also invited to give a presentation on how ivision helped F.A. Davis migrate Dynamics 365 On-Prem to the Cloud using Microsoft’s FastTrack program. Let’s break down the motivators for cloud migration, how to do so through Microsoft’s FastTrack program, and the benefits your business will experience throughout the journey.
Why Migrate Your CRM to the Cloud?
Some businesses may be hesitant to migrate to the cloud due to wariness of AI, budget constrictions, or simply wanting to stick to the way they’ve done things in the past. However, cloud migration opens up a whole new world of possibilities, especially when it comes to making the most of your Microsoft investment and using leading-edge technology.
On-premise systems can stunt technological growth and hinder maturation, keeping businesses static. Once you’ve maxed out on your potential of an on-premise CRM deployment, the natural next step is to look for ways to grow your tools with your business. Getting started may seem intimidating, which is why it’s important to partner with an organization you can trust to help guide you through the process.
What is Microsoft’s FastTrack Program?
The Microsoft FastTrack program helps customers migrate their on-premise deployments to a Microsoft cloud tenant. This program enables customers to envision new cloud capabilities, access engineering expertise, and drive business value through a best-practices approach to migration. As a FastTrack Ready Partner, ivision has access to direct collaboration with Microsoft engineers to assist with these migrations, as well as advanced training and exclusive resources.
Through on-site project management and custom scopes of work, we’ve enabled an effective, repeatable process to support successful deployment and adoption outcomes. We’re also empowered to leverage remote guidance, tools, and resources to provide more flexibility for our clients.
Benefits of Leveraging a FastTrack Ready Partner
- Conversations with Microsoft to provide technical advice
- Resources to help design scalable cloud architecture
- Assessments of integration and customization support
- Data migration support
