A successful Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation requires more than installing software — it demands careful planning, deep functional knowledge, and a structured delivery method that fits your business from day one. At SchwettmannTech, we guide organizations across the UAE, UK, India, Saudi Arabia, and beyond through every stage of their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations journey. As a Microsoft-certified Solution Partner with over 120 consultants and a proven record working with clients such as B.Braun and Deutsche Telekom, we bring the technical depth and industry experience that complex implementations demand.
What our Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation covers
- Business process analysis and requirements gathering: We document your current financial workflows, procurement cycles, and operational processes before a single configuration decision is made, ensuring the system reflects how your business actually runs.
- System design and architecture: Our consultants design the data model, module configuration, and integration architecture suited to your organization — whether you are a mid-market manufacturer or a multi-entity enterprise operating across several countries.
- Configuration, customization, and development: We configure Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to match your chart of accounts, approval hierarchies, tax rules, and reporting needs. Where standard functionality falls short, our developers build targeted extensions using standard Microsoft extensibility frameworks.
- Data migration: We manage the extraction, transformation, and loading of your financial master data, open transactions, and historical records from legacy ERP systems, spreadsheets, or third-party platforms — with full reconciliation and validation before go-live.
- Integration with third-party systems: We connect Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations with your existing CRM, warehouse management, payroll, banking, and e-commerce platforms using Azure Logic Apps, Power Automate, or custom API connectors.
- Training, testing, and go-live support: We run user acceptance testing alongside your teams, deliver role-specific training, and provide on-site or remote hypercare support during and after go-live to reduce disruption and build internal confidence.
Why businesses in the UAE, UK, India, and Saudi Arabia choose SchwettmannTech
- Microsoft-certified expertise: SchwettmannTech holds active Microsoft Solution Partner status, which means our consultants are regularly assessed against Microsoft’s standards. You work with people who know the product technically, not just conceptually.
- Global delivery with local knowledge: With offices in India, Germany, UAE, and Cyprus, we can staff your project with consultants who understand local tax legislation, VAT compliance in the Gulf region, GST requirements in India, and statutory reporting in the UK and Europe.
- Proven enterprise experience: Our work with clients such as B.Braun and Deutsche Telekom demonstrates that we can handle complex, multi-country rollouts with strict compliance and governance requirements. That experience transfers directly to your project.
- A team of over 120 consultants: Project continuity matters. Because our team is large, we can allocate the right combination of functional consultants, technical developers, project managers, and change management specialists without compromise.
- Fixed governance and clear communication: We work within structured project frameworks that include regular status reporting, documented change control, and defined escalation paths — so you are never uncertain about where your project stands.
Our Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation process
- Discovery and scoping: We begin with a structured discovery engagement covering your business objectives, current system landscape, organizational structure, and key pain points. This produces a detailed scope document and a realistic project plan before any contract for implementation work is signed.
- Solution design: Our functional leads conduct fit-gap workshops with your finance, procurement, and operations teams. We document how Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations will be configured for each business area and identify any requirements that need custom development.
- Build and configuration: Working from the agreed design, our team configures the system, builds any required extensions, and prepares data migration templates. This phase runs in iterative cycles so you can review progress at defined checkpoints rather than waiting until the end.
- Testing: We run system integration testing internally, then support your team through user acceptance testing. Test scripts are mapped to your actual business scenarios, not generic workflows, so issues are caught before they reach a live environment.
- Training and change management: We prepare role-based training materials and deliver sessions suited to your users’ technical comfort levels. We also help your internal champions understand how to support colleagues after go-live.
- Go-live and post-implementation support: We manage cutover activities, monitor system performance in the first days after launch, and provide a dedicated support period to resolve any issues that surface. After hypercare ends, we offer ongoing managed support and optimization services.
Pricing and cost of a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation
The cost of a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation varies based on company size, number of legal entities, the scope of customization, and the volume of integrations required. For a mid-market business with a single legal entity, straightforward financials, and limited customization, implementation projects typically start between USD 80,000 and USD 150,000. Multi-entity implementations covering supply chain, procurement, and manufacturing across several countries — common for our clients in the UAE and Saudi Arabia — typically range from USD 300,000 to USD 800,000 or more. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance licensing starts at approximately USD 180 per user per month for the full Finance application. SchwettmannTech provides fixed-price discovery engagements so you receive a detailed cost estimate before committing to a full implementation.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation take?
A straightforward single-entity implementation typically takes between four and six months. Multi-entity or multi-country rollouts with complex integrations and large data migrations often take between nine and eighteen months. Timeline depends heavily on how quickly your team can participate in workshops, testing, and decision-making.
Can SchwettmannTech implement Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for businesses in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?
Yes. We have a dedicated office in the UAE and consultants with direct experience delivering projects that meet Gulf VAT requirements, Arabic language needs, and local statutory reporting obligations. We have completed implementations for clients operating across the GCC region.
What is the difference between Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations?
Microsoft rebranded the combined Finance and Supply Chain Management product suite. Dynamics 365 Finance covers financial management, while Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management covers warehouse, manufacturing, and procurement. The two are often sold and implemented together, which is what most businesses mean when they refer to a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation.
Do you offer support after the implementation is complete?
Yes. After the hypercare period immediately following go-live, SchwettmannTech offers ongoing managed support packages covering break-fix issues, minor configuration changes, Microsoft update management, and periodic system health reviews. Support can be scoped on a retainer or per-incident basis.
