HOUSTON-BASED · DYNAMICS 365 PROGRAM RECOVERY

Your Dynamics 365 Program Stalled. We Get It Back on Track.

A structured, fixed-fee recovery sprint for Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations that have missed go-live, exceeded budget, accumulated technical debt, or left internal teams carrying the delivery burden. Managed ERP Services provides independent assessment and practical recovery support for mid-market energy, manufacturing, distribution, construction, engineering and equipment-service organizations across Houston, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia and Oklahoma.

  • Independent assessment
  • Defined scope and fixed-fee starting point
  • 2–4 week assessment target, subject to scope
  • Actionable recovery roadmap

What Is a Dynamics 365 Program Recovery Sprint?

A Dynamics 365 Program Recovery Sprint is an independent, time-boxed assessment of a troubled ERP or CRM implementation. It reviews solution design, configuration, custom code, integrations, data migration, testing, governance, security, training and cutover readiness. The result is a prioritized findings report, a realistic path to stabilization, clear ownership, and an evidence-based go-live plan.

It is a focused extension of our broader Dynamics 365 project recovery and Dynamics 365 health check services. Every week a troubled program continues unchanged, remediation gets more expensive: rework compounds, data drifts, users disengage and delivery knowledge leaves with rotating staff.

Warning signs

Eight Signs Your Dynamics 365 Implementation Needs Recovery

One isolated issue may be manageable. Several of these patterns usually indicate a delivery, governance or architecture problem that needs an independent review.

  • Repeated go-live delays

    Milestones move repeatedly without a credible, dependency-based recovery plan.

  • No working end-to-end demonstration

    After months of work, users still cannot process representative business scenarios with their own data.

  • A growing “Phase 2” backlog

    Important requirements are deferred to protect dates instead of protecting business outcomes.

  • Your internal team is doing the partner’s work

    Employees are writing specifications, managing defects, reconciling integrations, or rebuilding plans that the delivery partner should own.

  • High partner-team turnover

    Frequent changes in project managers, architects or functional leads repeatedly reset knowledge and decisions.

  • Heavy customization with weak standard configuration

    Custom development is growing before standard Dynamics 365 capability and process redesign have been properly evaluated.

  • Budget pressure and unclear change orders

    Costs rise while scope ownership, estimates and completion criteria become less clear.

  • Low adoption, spreadsheets and manual reporting

    Users rely on workarounds because the deployed solution is unreliable, incomplete or poorly aligned with operations.

Independent assessment

A Complete Dynamics 365 Health Check—Not Another Status Meeting

The review is tailored to the modules, integrations and risks actually in scope for your program.

  • Business requirements and process fit
  • Solution architecture and environment strategy
  • Business Central or Finance and Supply Chain configuration
  • Customer Engagement, Field Service and Project Operations dependencies where applicable
  • Customizations, extensions, plugins, Power Automate flows and technical debt
  • Integrations, APIs, middleware, Dataverse and Azure dependencies
  • Data migration quality, reconciliation and cutover readiness
  • Security roles, controls and segregation of duties
  • Test coverage, defect aging, UAT evidence and acceptance criteria
  • Project governance, RAID log, scope control and delivery ownership
  • Training, change management and user adoption readiness
  • Licensing, reporting, Power BI and operational support readiness

Recovery model

How the Program Recovery Sprint Works

  1. Fixed-fee starting engagement

    Stage 1 — Assess

    Review the design, configuration, code, integrations, migration, testing, governance and cutover plan. Interview business and technical stakeholders and validate findings against working evidence—not status colors alone.

    Deliverables

    • Executive findings summary
    • Risk and dependency register
    • Salvage, rework and stop-doing recommendations
    • Prioritized 30/60/90-day recovery roadmap
    • Updated timeline and cost-range assumptions
  2. Scoped from verified findings

    Stage 2 — Stabilize

    Triage the work required to run the business, correct the highest-risk architectural and functional gaps, reduce avoidable customization, resolve critical defects, and establish clear decision rights and ownership.

  3. Scoped from verified findings

    Stage 3 — Go Live With Control

    Rebuild the cutover plan around proven data, completed acceptance criteria, realistic testing cycles, business readiness, training, rollback decisions and post-go-live support.

Stage 1 is the fixed-fee starting point. Stabilization and go-live work are quoted separately once findings are verified — supported where useful by project and change management and training and user adoption workstreams.

Deliverables

Recovery Deliverables Leaders Can Act On

Executive-ready health assessment

A plain-language read on where the program stands and what is driving the risk.

Prioritized risk and remediation backlog

Ranked by business impact, dependency and effort — not by who raised it.

Architecture and integration recommendations

Where standard capability, redesign or targeted rework will reduce long-term cost.

Data migration and testing recovery plan

Reconciliation, rehearsal and acceptance criteria that make go-live evidence-based.

Realistic go-live and cutover roadmap

A 30/60/90-day sequence built on verified findings, not optimistic dates.

Governance, ownership and communication model

Clear decision rights so the same issues stop resurfacing.

The recommendations remain useful whether Managed ERP Services leads the recovery, supports the existing Microsoft partner, or provides an independent quality-assurance role.
