The implementation of Business Central Cloud
Initial meeting
Proof-of-concept
Workshops
Test – Flowtest
The initial meeting
A “Business Central Cloud implementation” project starts with an overall, initial discussion of which areas, workflows and business processes are important to you. The project is divided into phases so that not all workflows are implemented at the same time.
The phasing and prioritization makes it easier to get an overview of the project, keep track of progress, and allows the company and employees to follow and get to know the workflows before new ones are introduced.
Proof-of-concept (POC)
We then propose a Proof-of-concept (POC), which consists partly of a practical test of selected essential workflows and partly an analysis, discussion and planning of the phases of the actual implementation project.
The purpose of a Proof-of-concept (POC) is to evaluate whether the decisions we made initially have the value and functionality we believe they have. It can identify potential challenges and barriers at an early stage, before we start the actual implementation process.
Testing of the essential workflows is performed on a Business Central Cloud solution containing the necessary and/or possible supplier independent apps. In addition, the POC determines whether data should be converted automatically, manually or not at all.
For this purpose, we provide a standard account containing the most basic setup.
The phasing that we initially set up together with the customer is re-evaluated based on the experience and results of the POC.
After the POC, the actual implementation project starts, with detailed project planning.
Workshops
Through a series of workshops, the final prioritization of functional areas and workflows is determined. We start with the functions and workflows that we have prioritized and planned for phase 1.
The workshop process begins with an introduction to Business Central for all the people who will participate in the workshops. In this way, the workshops also serve as training for the super user group.
Test – Flowtest
In parallel with the workshop process, data is converted to Business Central and the necessary business documents are designed and tested.
Once the individual functions and workflows in phase 1 are clearly defined, set up and tested, a flow test is performed. The flow test ensures that the individual functional areas work together in a unified system.
Once phase 1 is tested and the system is ready for commissioning, operational conversion (if necessary) is performed and the system is put into operation.
We then move on to phase 2.
The result
By implementing and testing one phase at a time, better control is maintained over project progress and costs.
It also promotes better documentation, as each step in the process can be documented and evaluated separately.
Phasing also allows users to get used to the changes gradually. This often leads to better acceptance of the final system and less resistance to change.
