Which Dynamics 365 product do professional services firms use?

Dynamics 365 Project Operations is purpose-built for project-based businesses — consultancies, agencies, and engineering firms. It connects sales, project planning, resourcing, time and expense, and billing in one system, with finance handled by Project Operations or Business Central.

Professional services challenges we solve

Disconnected tools and spreadsheet-driven delivery make it hard to staff, deliver, and bill profitably. Dynamics 365 brings it together.

📊

Poor Project Visibility

No real-time view of budgets, margins, and burn until it is too late to act.

👥

Resourcing Guesswork

Over- or under-utilised teams because scheduling lives in spreadsheets.

🧾

Leaky Time & Billing

Unbilled hours and slow invoicing that quietly erode profit.

🔌

Disconnected Tools

CRM, project management, timesheets, and accounting that never talk.

📉

Unclear Profitability

Hard to know which clients and projects actually make money.

🔮

Weak Forecasting

Little visibility into future pipeline, capacity, and revenue.

Professional Services FAQs

What is Dynamics 365 Project Operations?

Project Operations is Microsoft’s solution for project-based businesses. It unites sales, project planning, resource scheduling, time and expense, and billing in one application, giving you end-to-end visibility from pursuit to cash.

Does it support both fixed-price and time-and-materials billing?

Yes. Project Operations supports fixed-price, time-and-materials, and milestone-based billing, so you can match how you contract with each client.

Can it replace our separate CRM, project, and timesheet tools?

In most cases, yes. Project Operations combines CRM-style sales, project management, resourcing, and time capture, reducing the number of disconnected tools you maintain.

How does it help with resource utilisation?

It gives schedulers a real-time view of who is available, their skills, and their current bookings, so you can staff projects to maximise billable utilisation.

Does it integrate with finance and payroll?

Yes. Project Operations integrates with Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central for accounting, and with payroll and other systems through Power Automate and Dataverse.
