More predictable revenue, better utilisation of resources, faster quote-to-cash cycles, improved profitability, and greater visibility over every stage of the project lifecycle.

We start with discovery workshops to map out your contract types, resource models and success measures. From there, we design a roadmap covering quoting, planning, financial setup, integrations and training.

Pitfalls include poorly mapped data, unclear cost structures, neglecting revenue recognition rules, underestimating integrations, and not preparing staff for new workflows. Good discovery and governance help avoid them.

Smaller organisations benefit too. You can start with the essentials and grow the system as your projects and resourcing needs become more complex.

New features include expanded Copilot support for time and expense, enhanced financial tags, better work breakdown templates, more flexible invoicing, and usability improvements across mobile and approvals.

After delivery, Project Operations helps with invoicing, revenue recognition, reconciliations and lessons-learned analysis. Continuous Improvement means the insights feed back into future projects.

It integrates with Sales, Finance, Power Platform and Teams, so data flows smoothly from opportunity to cash, and reporting is unified.

Users can submit time and expenses via mobile or browser, route them for approval, and match them to projects in real time for clearer reporting.

Yes. It supports multiple contract and billing models so you can manage whichever type suits your organisation.

Project Operations provides dashboards and alerts; you can build work breakdown structures, track real-time task status, resources and expenses, and adjust schedules or resourcing if deviations occur.

Features include Copilot-assisted quoting, automated expense and time approvals, risk detection, generating status reports and trend-based forecasting.

It tracks time, expenses, costs, revenue and profitability; handles multiple billing models; integrates with finance systems; supports revenue recognition; and provides visibility into budget versus actual.

You can match people to project roles based on their skills, availability or resource profiles, forecast demand, reduce bench time and improve utilisation.

It lets you manage your pipeline, create accurate estimates, convert quotes into projects, and define costs, timelines and pricing models such as fixed-price, time and materials, or retainers, so you win deals more predictably.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations unifies every stage of a project-based business… from sales, quoting and contracts, to planning, resourcing, delivery, billing and financials… all in one system.
