In short
An independent audit of your D365 F&O implementation design — the same Success by Design review structure Microsoft's FastTrack team uses, delivered by ex-FastTrack Solution Architects, without the eligibility bar. Because we don't sell licences, take referral fees, or have a statement of work to defend, the advice isn't shaped by anyone's commercial position. In 1–2 weeks you get a board-ready report: what's working, the top risks, the stop-the-line issues to fix before go-live, and a remediation plan you can execute.
How the engagement works
We’re a Microsoft partner — and independent of your implementation partner. We don’t sell licences, take referral fees, or have a statement of work to defend, so nothing shapes the review except what we find. We apply the same Success by Design review structure Microsoft’s FastTrack team uses, led by ex-FastTrack Solution Architects.
You’ll get a comprehensive report that clearly shows:
This mirrors the intent of Microsoft’s Solution Blueprint Review workshop: validate high-level scope/design concepts and identify risks early.
What clients typically uncover in this review:
We review your programme through the fundamentals that typically decide whether D365 projects succeed.
If you want this included (recommended), we’ll also deliver:
FastTrack is excellent — its review structure is the backbone of ours, and our reviewers are ex-FastTrack Solution Architects. But it has two structural limits. It’s available only to customers who meet a minimum annual Dynamics 365 spend and are attached to a qualified implementation partner. And it’s delivered jointly with that partner — it will flag architectural risk, but it isn’t positioned to give you an independent view of your partner’s own delivery.
Dr Dynamics is the cost-effective independent assurance option when you:
Ideal timing: before design sign-off / before build accelerates / 8–16 weeks pre-go-live / before the next rollout wave.
We're a Microsoft partner, but not Microsoft and not the FastTrack program — the review is ours alone. Our reviewers are ex-FastTrack Solution Architects, and we apply best practices and Success by Design principles.
No. We review, de-risk, and advise. If you want, we can support remediation sprints too.
It usually speeds it up—because it prevents expensive rework and late-stage surprises.
Watch for milestones that keep getting re-baselined, a defect backlog with no burn-down plan, late design decisions, vague go/no-go criteria, and a team that talks more about status reports than blockers. If two or three of these feel familiar, an independent review is cheaper than a reset.
A focused review typically looks at programme governance, scope control, solution architecture, data migration strategy, integration design, security model, test strategy, cutover plan and go-live readiness. The output is a prioritised findings report with clear severity levels, concrete recommendations and a pragmatic remediation plan — not a 200-slide deck.
A targeted review of a specific workstream (for example cutover, integration, or data migration) usually takes one to two weeks. A full solution and readiness review for a medium enterprise programme typically takes three to four weeks. Emergency reviews can be compressed when a go-live is imminent.
Yes. Recovery work starts with an honest diagnosis: what is actually broken — scope, architecture, data, people, or partner delivery — and in what order it needs fixing. We then agree a recovery roadmap with the steering group, stabilise the most critical risks, and either run the recovery directly or coach your existing team through it.
It is a structured check of whether the solution, data, users, infrastructure, support model and business processes are genuinely ready to cut over. It looks at open defects, test coverage, cutover plan, hypercare model, rollback options and business sign-off. The goal is a clear, defensible go or no-go recommendation.
We help clients write realistic RFPs, evaluate partner proposals beyond the slideware, pressure-test delivery approaches, and understand where a bid is likely to hurt them later. We do not take partner referral fees, which keeps the advice genuinely independent.
Bring the state of your programme — your Dynamics version, your go-live date and what's worrying you. We'll come back with a one-page fastest-path plan within 48 hours.
