Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Enhancement

For over 23 years, Akvelon has been a trusted partner of Microsoft and has completed over 130 projects within the MS group. Our latest achievement is a major upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 – Finance & Operations that enhanced its performance, accessibility, and infrastructure.

Key Accomplishments:

• Increased Accessibility: We simplified Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps for users with disabilities, covered over 170 tasks and issues, and added screen reader support with high contrast schemes to make the app more accessible for users that have visual impairments.
• Optimized Build Infrastructure: Our team set up 24/7 support for the build system, developed monitoring tools, implemented multiple optimizations and improvements in CI/CD processes, and migrated the whole CI/CD system to Azure. It improves infrastructure health, reduces issue resolution times, and speeds up the delivery of updates from developers to end users.
• Fixed Runtime Bugs: Our team worked to reduce customer issues by fixing runtime bugs, memory leaks, heap corruptions, and deadlocks, and implementing a process to swiftly identify and resolve potential regressions.

Our work has supported Microsoft in further enhancing customer satisfaction, optimizing operations, and driving cost efficiencies.

We’re honored to collaborate with industry leaders like Microsoft and look forward to continuing our work developing cutting-edge technology together in the coming years. It is a privilege to know that our efforts are making significant differences for esteemed clients such as Microsoft.
