Understand Your
Dynamics 365 Environment.

Get an independent, practical assessment or health check of your Dynamics 365, Dataverse and Power Platform environment — with prioritised recommendations, not just a report.

Dynamics 365 Assessment

Why assess your Dynamics 365 environment?

Dynamics 365 environments often evolve over several years. New requirements lead to customisations, integrations accumulate, Power Automate flows multiply, and security models become more complex.

A structured assessment provides an evidence-based view of the environment and a prioritised plan for improvement — rather than guesswork.

  • Is our Dynamics 365 architecture still fit for purpose?
  • Have we accumulated unnecessary customisation?
  • Are our integrations reliable and maintainable?
  • Is our security model appropriate?
  • How much technical debt do we have, and what should we fix first?

What we assess

Our assessment is tailored to your environment and objectives, drawing on the areas that matter most.

Solution Architecture

How Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Power Platform and Azure fit within your wider enterprise technology landscape, and where architectural constraints may emerge as the solution grows.

Configuration

Tables, forms, views, business rules, business process flows, dashboards, queues, SLAs and application navigation — identifying where configuration can be simplified.

Customisation & Development

Plugins, custom APIs, JavaScript, PCF controls, web resources and Power Automate flows — assessed for necessity, maintainability, security and efficiency.

Dataverse & Data Architecture

Table design, relationships, ownership, data duplication, data quality and volume — identifying structural issues that could affect reporting, performance or integration.

Security

Security roles, business units, teams, access teams, hierarchy security, field-level security and application users — identifying excessive permissions or gaps.

Integration

Integration architecture, APIs, Power Automate, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus and error handling — identifying fragile or unnecessary point-to-point connections.

Power Platform

Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Power BI and Dataverse — architecture, governance, reuse of components and performance.

ALM & DevOps

Solution strategy, environment strategy, source control, build/release pipelines and deployment automation — for more predictable, repeatable releases.

Performance & Scalability

Potential causes of performance bottlenecks and constraints that could affect the solution as usage and data volumes grow.

Our Dynamics 365 assessment process

A structured process designed to provide actionable results, not every environment needs the same assessment.

01

Define Scope

Business objectives, systems in scope, applications, integrations and priorities.

02

Understand

Review current architecture, documentation and configuration with your teams.

03

Analyse

Identify risks, gaps, technical debt, complexity and improvement opportunities.

04

Prioritise

Classify findings by business impact, risk, effort, urgency and dependencies.

05

Roadmap

Translate findings into immediate, short-term, medium-term and strategic actions.

Dynamics 365 assessment packages

The assessment can be tailored to your requirements and environment complexity.

Focused Health Check

A targeted review of a known concern such as performance, security, integration, Power Automate, architecture or ALM.

Technical Assessment

A broader review of core technical components: architecture, Dataverse, customisation, security, integration, Power Platform and ALM.

Comprehensive Assessment

A full review of the wider Dynamics 365 ecosystem, including data, performance, ALM, DevOps, AI/Copilot readiness and governance.

Why choose MS Dynamics Consulting?

Dynamics 365 & Power Platform expertise

We understand how Dynamics 365, Dataverse and Power Platform work together across the ecosystem.

Technical depth

Assessments go beyond configuration reviews into custom development, integrations, Azure services, ALM and architecture.

Practical recommendations

We focus on recommendations that can actually be implemented, not a report that sits unused.

Independent opinion

An objective, evidence-based view of your environment, unaffected by who built or maintains it.

Prioritised, actionable findings

Recommendations classified by business impact, risk, effort and urgency to help you focus on what matters most.

A path to implementation

Where required, we help turn assessment recommendations into a practical delivery plan.

Is an Assessment Right for You?

When should you perform a Dynamics 365 assessment?

Consider an assessment if you are planning a new implementation, have inherited an existing environment, are changing implementation partners, or your environment has accumulated technical debt.

Discuss Your Requirements
  • Planning a new Dynamics 365 implementation or replacing a legacy CRM
  • You have inherited an existing Dynamics 365 environment
  • You are changing implementation partners
  • Deployments are becoming difficult or integrations are unreliable
  • Users are experiencing performance issues
  • Your security model has become complex
  • You are planning a major expansion or considering Power Platform/Copilot

Frequently asked questions

A typical assessment reviews solution architecture, Dynamics 365 configuration, customisation and custom development, Dataverse data architecture, security, integrations, Power Platform usage, ALM/DevOps practices and performance — tailored to the areas that matter most to your environment and objectives.

A health check is a focused review targeting a known concern such as performance, security, integration or ALM. A technical or comprehensive assessment covers the wider Dynamics 365 ecosystem, including architecture, Dataverse, customisation, security, integrations, Power Platform, data, performance, ALM, DevOps and AI/Copilot readiness.

Yes, an independent assessment provides an objective, evidence-based view of your environment that isn't influenced by whoever built or maintains it. This is particularly valuable when deployments are becoming difficult, technical debt has accumulated, or you are changing implementation partners.

Deliverables typically include a current-state architecture overview, documented findings, risk identification, prioritised recommendations, a target architecture where appropriate, a practical roadmap and an executive summary for business and technology leadership.

Yes. An assessment doesn't have to end with a report. Where implementation work is required, we help turn recommendations into a delivery plan, moving through assessment, recommendations, roadmap, implementation and ongoing optimisation.

Duration depends on scope and environment complexity. A focused health check can typically be completed in a short, targeted engagement, while a comprehensive assessment covering the full Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem takes longer to review and document thoroughly.
