Quick answer

What are Dynamics 365 consulting services?

Dynamics 365 consulting services are advisory and delivery engagements in which certified Microsoft consultants help you choose, design, implement, optimise and support Dynamics 365 — so the platform fits how your business actually works. PraviMinds provides independent, vendor-neutral Dynamics 365 consulting across Customer Engagement (CRM), Finance & Operations (ERP), Business Central and the Power Platform: discovery and requirements, module and licensing selection, solution architecture, process design and configuration, data migration, integration, testing, training, go-live and ongoing optimisation. Every consultant is Microsoft-certified and vetted through our own delivery work, averaging 8+ years of hands-on implementation experience, priced 40–60% below equivalent US/UK day rates with senior oversight and documentation included.

  • Independent, vendor-neutral advice — we recommend what fits, not what sells more licences.
  • Full lifecycle: strategy, selection, architecture, configuration, migration, integration, training and support.
  • Certified across CRM, Finance & Operations, Business Central and the Power Platform.
  • Configuration-first: we reach for supported configuration before custom code to keep you upgrade-safe.
  • Flexible engagement — one-off advisory, fractional, fixed-scope, or full implementation.
  • Microsoft partner practice behind every consultant — knowledge and QA live in the team, not one person.
What we do

What our Dynamics 365 consulting covers

From a first “is Dynamics 365 right for us?” conversation to a live, adopted system — and everything in between. Engage us for one stage or the whole journey.

Advisory

Strategy & roadmap

Where Dynamics 365 fits your goals, which apps and licences you actually need, and a costed, phased roadmap to get there.

Design

Solution architecture

Data model, security, integration patterns and environment strategy that scale and stay supportable as you grow.

Delivery

Process design & configuration

Turning how your business runs into a clean, no-code-first Dynamics 365 configuration across your chosen modules.

Data

Adoption

Training & change management

UAT, role-based training and adoption support so your team actually uses the system you paid for.

Rescue

When to engage

Signs you need a Dynamics 365 consultant

You rarely need consulting “in general” — you need it when a specific decision or phase is stuck. These are the moments clients call.

You are evaluating Dynamics 365 and need independent advice on fit, modules and licensing before you commit budget.
An implementation is about to start and you want the design and plan right before anything is built.
A rollout stalled after go-live — adoption is low and no one owns the fix.
You over-customised and every update is painful — you need a path back to supported configuration.
The partner who built it has gone and you need someone to understand it and pick up the roadmap.
You have developers but no direction — code is being written with no functional owner deciding what to build.
How we work

Our Dynamics 365 consulting approach

Aligned to Microsoft’s Success by Design framework — structured, transparent and outcome-focused, with clear exit criteria at every stage.

1

Discover

Workshops to understand your processes, pain points, data and goals — and a clear fit-gap.

2

Design

A solution blueprint: modules, architecture, licensing, integrations and a costed, phased roadmap.

3

Deliver

Configuration, migration, integration and testing — demoed every sprint, built configuration-first.

4

Adopt & optimise

Training, go-live, hypercare and ongoing optimisation so the system keeps earning its keep.

Advisory, or a done-for-you project?

Engage us for a one-off strategy or health-check, fractional advisory at key decision points, or a full fixed-price implementation when you want us accountable end to end. Not sure which fits? We will tell you honestly.

Pricing

What Dynamics 365 consulting costs

Transparent, not a black box. Advisory and health-check engagements are fixed-price to scope; dedicated consulting starts at $3,000/month. What moves the number is seniority, module, and whether you need advisory, fractional or full-time capacity.

Fixed scope

Strategy / health check

A costed roadmap, selection advice or independent review delivered to a defined scope and milestones.

From $3,000/mo

Dedicated consultant

A certified consultant embedded in your programme full-time, in your timezone with senior review included.

Fractional

Advisory by the day

Senior design authority and decision support a few days a month — the most cost-effective way to buy seniority.

Against a Big-4 or large systems integrator you avoid pitch-team bait-and-switch, change-order inflation and blended rates that hide juniors. Against an in-house hire you avoid recruiting fees, ramp-up months and the difficulty of finding senior Dynamics talent at all — while keeping the same accountability. See our Dynamics 365 pricing guide for licensing and implementation cost detail.

“Same workshops, same sign-offs and accountability as a Big-4 team — at a fraction of the cost, and the person we interviewed is the person who did the work.”

— CFO, UK manufacturing group

FAQ

Dynamics 365 consulting FAQs

What do Dynamics 365 consulting services include?

They span the full lifecycle: strategy and module/licensing selection, solution architecture, process design and configuration, data migration, integration, testing, training, go-live and ongoing optimisation — across CRM, Finance & Operations, Business Central and the Power Platform. You can engage us for one stage or the whole journey.

How much do Dynamics 365 consulting services cost?

Advisory and health-check engagements are fixed-price to scope; a dedicated consultant starts at $3,000/month, and fractional advisory is available by the day — roughly 40–60% below equivalent US/UK day rates, with senior oversight and documentation included.

Are you an independent Dynamics 365 consulting company?

Yes. We give vendor-neutral advice — recommending the modules, licences and approach that fit your business, not the ones that sell the most. We are a Microsoft partner practice, so certification and best practice are built in without the bias toward over-selling.

Can you consult on just module selection or a health check?

Absolutely. Many clients start with a one-off engagement — a selection and licensing review, an architecture review, or an independent health check of a struggling rollout — before deciding on anything larger.

Which Dynamics 365 applications do you cover?

Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), Finance & Operations, Business Central, and the full Power Platform (Power Apps, Automate, BI, Pages), plus Azure integration, data migration and reporting.

Do you offer implementation as well as consulting?

Yes. Use advisory or fractional consulting when you own delivery, or a full fixed-price implementation when you want us accountable for the outcome end to end. We advise honestly on which fits.

Can you rescue a stalled or over-customised Dynamics 365 project?

Yes — it is one of the most common reasons clients call. We audit the current configuration, identify what to keep, unwind and re-design, and move you back toward a stable, supported, adoptable system without a full restart.
