There is not a day that goes by that all of us do not use Cloud-based computing. From shopping to playing games to streaming videos to banking, Cloud services do it all! The trust in Cloud-based applications and services has steadily grown over the last 20 years. Microsoft has been at the forefront of this transition from on-premises to Cloud-based solutions and continues to transition its products to the Cloud today.
Over the next few months, Microsoft will contact all Dynamics NAV and GP customers and offer them a free Cloud Readiness assessment, which comes in two forms. The first type is a self-assessment that can be done online in about 20 minutes. The second type is a more detailed assessment, which you complete over the phone with a Microsoft assessment expert. The goal of either assessment is to provide you with a report detailing the costs and benefits of moving to the Cloud for your business. This information equips you to begin the planning process for an eventual move.
You’ll also discover ways to overcome common hurdles like:
- Ensuring access to all stakeholders and users
- Maintaining the functionality and customization you need while making the transition
- Precisely estimating the ongoing costs and savings expected
Moving to the Cloud can be as simple as hosted Exchange and Microsoft 365 or as extensive as moving your entire network and applications into Azure servers, eliminating the need for on-premises servers. The Innovia Customer Engagement team will work with our customers to review the assessment results and discuss their next steps. Innovia feels that moving to Cloud-based networks and ERP systems is the right move for all businesses, and we look forward to continuing to help our customers navigate these changes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. We will set up a call with you and your team to address any issues and walk you through the process.
Best Regards,
Alan Wyne, CEO
