What is Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations?
Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) is Microsoft's enterprise-grade ERP platform comprising two applications: Dynamics 365 Finance (budgeting, project management, financials, accounting) and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (engineering, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution). It's designed for large, complex organizations with high-volume transaction requirements.
How long does a D365 F&O implementation take?
A typical F&O implementation takes 8-18 months depending on the number of modules, entities, integrations, and customizations required. Cole Solutions uses Microsoft's Success by Design methodology and our own accelerators to compress timelines where possible.
How much does Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations cost?
D365 Finance starts at $210/user/month with a minimum of 20 users. Supply Chain Management is priced separately. Total cost of ownership depends on user count, modules selected, integrations, and customization requirements. Cole Solutions provides detailed TCO analyses during the discovery phase.
