How D365 partners can go from projects to ongoing services

Join our webinar and find out how you clearly differentiate your D365 implementation business – and get more out of your consultants’ time.

Dynamics 365, and its new ‘Success-by-Design’ implementation model, together with Dynamics 365, challenges the old partner model of selling customizations by the hour.

In order to stay competitive, implementation partners must…

• Understand Microsoft’s implementation model ‘Success-by-Design’.
• Shorten ‘time-to-value’.
• Shift the focus from projects to value in the form of services.
• Reduce reliance on experienced specialists in each project.
  

This webinar will give you inspiration and show cases on how you as a partner can remain competitive and increase the lifetime value of your customer with the help of Gluu’s BPM platform and D365 implementation tools.
