What is the role of a NAV/D365 BC Consultant on a NAV/D365 BC Project?

Consultants are the core of any project, but what is the true value of an experienced and talented NAV/D365 BC Consultant to a company?

How can you recognise such qualities?

What will be the benefits of having one in your company?

Well………Let’s discuss!

A NAV/D365 BC Consultant will be focused on the delivery and the implementation of Microsoft’s D365 BC ERP Solution, quite a broad range of responsibilities wouldn’t you agree?

Well, there’s even more!

Here are some main requirements of a NAV/D365 BC Consultant.

Responsibilities:

• Perform business requirements analysis and documentation.
• Contribute to project teams through workshops and ERP implementations.
• Train users on new process and NAV/D365 BC functionality.
• Develop data conversion and testing strategies.
• Manage individual budget and scope of work.
• Verify User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Provide pre-go-live and post-go-live end-user support.

Now that we have covered what a consultant does on a day-to-day basis lets discuss the true importance of the role and why these innovative and eloquent people are vital to companies and their business process.

A consultant must be able to analyse the business requirements of the company and how to maximise the most out of the NAV/D365 BC system for the companies needs and maximum efficiency, while also having strong knowledge of how its capabilities can be configured to meet user needs. Catering to these user or customer needs is what brings business to a lot of Microsoft Partners and in turn MONEY!

Putting money aside for a moment we can also analyse how an experienced consultant can also maintain customer relationships. Most of the consultant’s role is client facing, albeit maybe not so much in the current climate with the evolution of remote working, but what we know for sure is that a consultant must speak to customers more than often and carry out training sessions for the users of the system too. Meaning there is a good element of important personal communication within the role to establish and maintain these relationships, though most consultants will tell you their job just involves too much talking!

Clearly, we have covered the importance of having a strong NAV/D365 BC Consultant and their importance in the company but there is still a good element of groundwork and planning within the role too, after all the job is not all travelling around the world, staying in luxurious hotels and high-profile business meetings although it really sounds like living the dream, doesn’t it?

Potentially so, if you can also deal with the hours of Documentation for the project, the functional requirements for documents, Customization specs and user guides, that part doesn’t sound as exciting but oh well no job is perfect am I right? Maybe this part is not quite as exciting depending on the Consultant’s preference, but you cannot discredit again the magnitude of these tasks….

How can you implement a NAV/D365 BC system without documentation for the project?

How can you have a smooth implementation without a solid solution design plan?

How can you keep End users happy without quality training?

Which brings us back to the main topic of discussion how can you not have a NAV/D365 BC Consultant in your company?

With the status of the market now these skilled, proficient, and silver-tongued people are in high demand so go get one now!

In fact, if you’re still reading this it might already be too late……. only joking!
