Microsoft Dynamics 365 Services for Connected ERP, CRM, and Business Operations

Your business runs on forms. New customer applications. New patient intake. New hire paperwork. Field service work orders. Site inspections. PTO requests. Expense reports. Compliance acknowledgments. Vendor onboarding. Every one of them produces a paper sheet or a filled-in PDF that has to be scanned, emailed, filed, and re-keyed into the system where the data needs to live. The handwriting is illegible. The fields are blank. The PDF didn’t save. The form is wrong because somebody used last year’s version.

Kelley Create’s Digital Forms services replace paper and PDF forms with mobile-first digital forms that produce clean structured data at the moment of capture. Field workers complete forms on phones and tablets. Customers fill out applications on the web. Patients complete intake on a kiosk or their own phone. Data flows directly into your ERP, CRM, EMR, or HRIS. One partner. One forms platform. One end to clipboard runs.

    When the CRM and the ERP Don’t Talk, the Customer Notices.

    When the CRM and the ERP don’t talk, the customer notices. Sales promises a delivery date the operations system can’t honor. Service answers a call without seeing the open invoice. The customer asks for status and gets passed to three different people because nobody has the whole picture. Renewal conversations happen too late because nobody saw the warning signs.

    The right partner doesn’t add more dashboards on top of disconnected systems. They deploy Dynamics 365 so the customer record is one record across sales, service, operations, and finance. That’s us.

    What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365?

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 is Microsoft’s business platform: a connected suite of applications covering ERP (Finance, Supply Chain, Project Operations, Commerce) and CRM (Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, Field Service) on shared data. Built on Microsoft Dataverse. Native integration with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, Excel, SharePoint). Extended through Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages). AI capabilities through Copilot across every application.

    Dynamics 365 comes in two ERP product families: Business Central (purpose-built for mid-market organizations, faster to deploy, less complex) and Finance & Operations (for larger and more complex enterprise environments). The CRM applications (Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, Field Service) work with both ERP families and stand on their own.

    Common Dynamics 365 Problems We Solve

    Most Dynamics 365 conversations start with one or more of these patterns.

    Sales and service disconnected.
    Sales doesn’t see open tickets. Service doesn’t see renewal pipeline. Customers experience a fragmented organization. Renewals get lost. Customer experience suffers.

    Forecasting reconciled in Excel.
    CRM forecast and ERP recognized revenue don’t agree. Finance builds the reconciliation in Excel because the systems don’t talk.

    Field service without context.
    Field tech arrives without knowing what’s happening with the account. Repeat visits because parts weren’t pre-coordinated. Customer experience suffers.

    Outgrown QuickBooks or legacy ERP.
    The accounting system that worked at $5M is breaking at $40M. Multi-entity consolidation in spreadsheets. Inventory tracking that doesn’t scale.

    Failed previous implementation.
    Previous Dynamics or other ERP/CRM project that ran over time and budget and never delivered. Once-burned, twice-shy.

    Copilot expectations without enablement.
    Bought Dynamics + Copilot licenses. Three months later, nobody’s using Copilot. The AI productivity gains aren’t materializing.

    How Kelley Create Delivers Microsoft Dynamics 365

    Four phases. Strategic discovery, right-sized scoping, phased deployment, then ongoing optimization.

    1. Discover

    Current state assessment. Business process mapping. Integration point identification. Change management readiness. The discovery work that determines implementation success before any configuration starts.

    2. Design and Scope

    Right-sized implementation. We’re honest about what Dynamics 365 can and can’t do, and willing to tell you when the right answer is less than what you walked in asking for. Business Central vs F&O recommendation based on actual complexity.

    3. Deploy

    Phased deployment with measurable milestones. Configuration, integration, data migration, testing, training, cutover. Quick wins early to build adoption.

    4. Optimize and Support

    Ongoing managed services. Quarterly business reviews. Continuous improvement. Platform expansion as the business proves out.

    Dynamics 365 Applications We Implement

    Most engagements involve multiple applications integrated together.

    Arrow pointing to the right

    these components are standard

    • Mid-market ERP. Finance, supply chain, light manufacturing, inventory, sales/purchasing, project accounting. Faster deployment, less complexity than F&O.

    Local Expertise, National Reach

    Dynamics 365 implementation is hands-on. Discovery, training, change management, cutover support happen locally.

    Local. Regional implementation teams for on-site discovery, key milestones, training. People who learn your business.

    National. Multi-location organizations get coordinated implementation across every site. Same configuration approach, same training methodology, same go-live cadence.

    Why Partners Choose Kelley Create for Dynamics 365

    Dynamics 365 specialists across the application family.

    Right-sized scoping.

    Honest about what Dynamics can and can’t do. The smallest implementation that solves the actual problem, not the biggest one that fits the SOW template.

    Business Central and F&O depth.

    Both ERP families. We make honest recommendations based on actual operational complexity.

    Connected with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform.

    We deliver Dynamics as part of the broader Microsoft ecosystem. Copilot, Power Platform, Microsoft 365 integration all coordinated.

    Multi-location playbook.

    Restaurant chains, healthcare networks, retail operations. Coordinated Dynamics rollouts across many locations is something we do regularly.

    Change management as a deliverable.

    Most Dynamics failures are change management failures. Training, communication, adoption tracking built in from the start.

    Custom development depth.

    When standard Dynamics doesn’t cover the gap, we extend through Power Platform or custom development. The full stack from one partner.

    Who Dynamics 365 Is For

    Growing companies on QuickBooks or older legacy ERP needing the next platform up. Business Central is one of the most common landing spots.

    Multi-location operations needing connected ERP and CRM across many sites with centralized reporting.

    Companies with disconnected sales and service where customer experience suffers because the systems don’t share context.

    Organizations with complex operational requirements (multi-entity, multi-currency, advanced supply chain) that need Finance & Operations.

    Microsoft-aligned IT shops where Microsoft 365 is already the productivity platform and Dynamics is the natural business platform extension.

    Companies recovering from failed implementations ready for honest scoping and methodical execution.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Business Central or Finance & Operations? How do we decide?

      Business Central fits most mid-market organizations (typically up to a few hundred million in revenue, more transactional than complex). Finance & Operations fits larger and more complex enterprise environments. The decision is based on operational complexity (multi-entity, multi-currency, complex supply chain, advanced manufacturing), not revenue tier. The strategy session recommends one based on what your business actually does.
