Continuous Improvement
No company wants to be locked into a system that can’t grow and flex. We know the importance of a system that you feel empowered by, that saves you time and effort and can be built upon or improved over time.
We know that you don’t want to have to go through the whole process again, so we put together our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Continuous Improvement (CI) Packages to help keep you and your system working to best practice.
Our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Continuous Improvement Packages were created to support just that; the improvement of your business through your system, as and when you change your strategies.
Avoid the large chunks of time and money on “big project” style work by moving in manageable steps, to reflect your own natural progression.
We advise at least once a month in the early stages after a new deployment and once a quarter after that. However, it's up to you. You choose how often you review and improve.
Ask about our discounts for those who would like more than one consultancy day a month.
We have 3 different CI options to choose from, all for streamlining and adapting your system.
All Continuous Improvement packages support:
- Changing, adding or updating additional CRM fields, views, reports and dashboards
- Improving & supporting your team's user adoption and productivity
- Allowing for the growth of the company to dictate the improvement of existing D365 systems
- Implementing changes in your own time, outside a single deployment project timeline
Glossary of terms
Tier 1 Continuous Improvement - T1CI
At this level of CI, most clients usually use their 1 day a month without too rigid an agenda. Using our Software Consultants to support them in discussing areas of proposed improvement and delving further into the capabilities of the existing system.
Support in evaluating, updating and modifying your system fields, views, dashboards or reports to your requirements.
Included is a System Health Check to gauge appropriateness of configuration, usability, user issues, quality and efficiency of data. A report with an overview of your existing system is produced from this with suggestions on areas of improvement given your organisational growth or business changes over time.
If you are using third party apps such as MailChimp, Sage or Eventbrite the integration or improvement of these integrations will not be covered, neither will bespoke web portal improvement. High level customisation in the form of back end development is also not included in this level.
To include these areas or cover more in-depth change plans to larger software architecture choose from our T2, T3 or Enterprise Continuous Improvement offerings.
Works well for organisations who:
T1CI Cost: £500 one 8 hour day per calendar month (excluding VAT).

With T2CI or T3CI you have greater flexibility to act on more complex improvements and customisation.
You receive consultancy and technical provision in evaluating, updating and modifying your system fields, views, dashboards or reports to your requirements as with T1CI. However, you also have the option to work on bespoke web portal improvement or work on high level customisation in the form of back end development.
At this level integration of third-party apps such as SendinBlue, Gravity Forms or Trello is included, giving you the option to improve or use more of these applications with your CRM and extend your capabilities further, without having to reinvent the wheel.

Tier 3 Continuous Improvement - T3CI
Tier 3 Continuous Improvement is our high-level consultant offering.
Where the other two tiers cover similar areas of improvement support, this tier deploys our specialised high level Solution Architects to see you through the process.
Their subject matter expertise delivers the highest-level of mentoring and troubleshooting across interoperability programmes and covers all sizes and complexities of software architecture.
Although all of our hybrid consultants have the ability to translate the technical into plain English, a Solutions Architect is the highest choice in leading change and delivering outcomes.
At this level you receive high level technical support throughout the delivery of solutions to meet the changing requirements of the business, support your IT Strategy and align with your IT architecture.
Architecture considerations include infrastructure, data, applications, integration, interfaces, scalability, and performance, as well as product transition and support documentation.
Its important to note that improvement projects, especially at a higher levels of infrastructure typically take more than a single day.
To make the most of the CI packages, we advise that you consider taking one of the discounted packages, either the 3 year contract or 12-month upfront payment option and spread your CI project days over a period of months.
Works well for organisations who:
T3CI Cost: £750 one 8 hour day per calendar month (excluding VAT).
