about Changing Your Microsoft
Dynamics 365 Partner

2. Changing your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner is a
significant decision that can have far-reaching
implications for your business operations and long-
term success. Whether you're dissatisfied with your
current partner's performance, seeking specialized
expertise, or looking to optimize costs, the process of
transitioning to a new partner requires careful
consideration and planning. This introduction will
provide an overview of the key factors to evaluate,
the steps involved, and the potential risks and
benefits associated with changing your Microsoft
Dynamics Partner. By understanding the nuances of
this process, you can make an informed decision that
aligns with your organization's strategic goals and

suited to your needs.

3. The Role of a Microsoft Dynamics Partner
A certified Microsoft Dynamics partner,
also known as a D365 partner, may
greatly improve your ERP experience
regardless of whether you utilize
Dynamics 365, Dynamics NAV,
Dynamics AX, or Dynamics GP. These
partners provide the technical know-
how, training, and support you need to
get the most out of your ERP package.

4. Why You Might Want to Change Your Microsoft Dynamics
Partner or VAR (Value Added Reseller)
Here are some potential reasons why you might want to change your Microsoft
Dynamics Partner or Value-Added Reseller (VAR):

5. 1. Lack of expertise or specialization: If your current partner lacks deep expertise
in your specific industry or the Dynamics modules/functionality you require, it may
be beneficial to find a partner with more specialized knowledge and experience.
1. Poor customer service or responsiveness: Unresponsive support, long
resolution times, or a general lack of attentiveness from your partner can hinder
your operations and productivity. A new partner with a stronger customer service
focus could be a better fit.
1. Limited resource availability: As your business grows, you may outgrow your
partner's resource capabilities. A larger partner with a deeper bench of
consultants and developers could better accommodate your evolving needs.

6. 4. Geographical constraints: If your business expands to new regions, a partner
with a broader geographical presence could provide more localized support and
implementation services.
5. Cost optimization: Periodic market evaluations may reveal more cost-effective
options or pricing models better aligned with your budget.
Evaluating these factors can help you determine if a partner change is warranted
to optimize your Microsoft Dynamics experience and drive greater value from your
investment.
