Since you have the main knowledge of your products and customers, we are expecting you to carry out the consulting of the customers, requirement gathering, and functional design of the products. We maintain a close relationship with our partners thus all the knowledge we might lack regarding your products can be transferred through Q-A sessions, follow-up meetings, e-mails, and other forms of communication.

4. Can you help if our company has a temporary workload and the project has to be completed very quickly?

Yes, although usually Simplanova’s partners are looking for a long-term partnership, we also help companies that struggle with temporary workload.

1. How would you handle a project? How would our processes merge?

The documents below showcase our approach to the Dynamics NAV upgrade and development projects. Contact us if you want to learn more.

2. How will the progress be observed?

Project progress will be discussed during the project update meetings. Simplanova will provide project status reports. The frequency of reports depends on partner’s preferences.

3. How are the projects managed?

Projects are managed by both parties. We provide a project manager who is responsible for the communication and reporting and a team of developers who work on the project. We expect you to execute the projects as you normally would and incorporate our service in the technical design, development, testing and support phases.

4. How many developers could you assign for our project?

It depends on the project size, complexity, and our workload.

5. Have you done any upgrades to the latest Dynamics 365 BC versions?

Yes, we have done successful upgrades to the latest versions of Dynamics 365 Business Central. Contact us if you would like your solution to be upgraded or if you would like to upgrade from your old Dynamics NAV version to the latest version of Dynamics 365 Business Central.

6. How do your automated tools work?

We have developed automated tools that help us prepare custom solutions for the new version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The automated NAV upgrade to Extensions tools allow us to automatically transform matrix forms, transform Dataports to Xmlports, and Classic reports to RDLC NAV / 365 Business Central report format and Extensions 2.0 format, which consists of:

– .rdlc file (Layout)
– .al file (Dataset)
– .xlf (language files).

This allows us for better performance, more consistency, and fewer possibilities for human error in upgrade projects.

Also, we have a semi-automated code merge tool, which allows us to save time on transferring customizations to a new version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The automated evaluation tool allows us to identify changes more precisely, identify pain-points in the customized solution, and plan the Dynamics NAV / 365 Business Central upgrade more accurately. In some cases, we are able to identify customizations that are no longer in use or replaced by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central advancements, which leads to upgrade cost reduction.

The results generated using tools are reviewed by our developers thereafter, thus the best quality of the upgrade is ensured.

1. What are the warranties? How long is the support term?

The support term depends on the size of the project. The support period might last from 1 to 3 months.

2. What measures are taken to ensure high quality?

We are constantly learning, hiring the best people to our team, and making sure they are Microsoft Certified Professionals. Additionally, Simplanova’s team is constantly improving tools to the extent that more processes would be automated and become less prone to human error. We test using our internal testing system, we analyze and improve both: our individual defects and overall quality metrics. Finally, we are continuously improving our business processes to provide both: high-quality Microsoft Dynamics NAV services and experience.

3. Can we be sure you will not work directly with our customers?

Simplanova works with Microsoft Dynamics Partners only, our business model would stop working if we tried to work with the end-users directly. We make sure that relevant agreements are signed with every partner we work with.

4. How is the safety of data ensured?

Protecting your customers’ data is of high importance to Simplanova. We commit to that by signing the Non-disclosure Agreement.
