Consult and Agree
We consult with you to discuss and agree the information that you wish to be migrated to Dynamics 365 Business Central from Sage 50 for example. Our includes rigorous back-up, transaction checks, data compression and sample extractions which guarantee a successful data migration.
Test Migration
We complete a thorough test data migration for your upgrade to Business Central and share the outcomes with you. We enable you to test the data before a carefully planned final test migration as part of the final go live process. It is this test data migration that we use for training your staff prior to GoLive.
Training
Training on a copy of your own data supports the best learning experience as part of your training journey.
Qi believes that effective training needs to reflect the business goals of the customer and the business wide use of the software we are delivering training on. Training must also reflect the cohort and existing levels of systems literacy.
TURN DECISIONS INTO ACTIONS
Due to the way Qi plans and documents its projects, the discussed, intended outcomes of an ERP project are turned into Actions. So often, the commitment and drive in the selection stages of an ERP solution can become diluted and regularly lost altogether which weakens your return on investment.
REALISTIC, DEFINED, TIMEFRAME
A defined timeframe is crucial for project success. Our experience enables us to provide our customers with a project timeline which is realistic and achievable. Unexpected factors can of course alter the suitability of any timeline. We work in the ‘real world’ with our customers as reactive and supportive partners ensuring project focus is maintained in an empathetic way.
SYSTEMATIC, SEQUENTIAL, STRATEGY
The software is provisioned, the key users are trained, our customer has gone live and all is well. This accounts for the ‘systematic’ and the ‘sequential’ but only part of the ‘strategy’. The strategy supporting a project remains on-going. Going live is just the start of an ERP’s lifecycle. Strategy includes not only the provision of excellent support but a continued understanding of our customers’ needs.
Behind every Qi Business Applications Case Study is a great data migration experience!
Our Case Studies are testimony to just some of successful Business Central projects that have successful and accurate data migration as the cornerstone.
