Problems Risks Challenges
Today's challenges in the introduction and management of business applications
Companies and service providers face challenges with Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, such as complex customizations, increasing compliance requirements and inefficient cost control.
devonso addresses these problems with modular solutions that ensure transparency, security and efficiency at every step.
Problems The risks Challenges
Companies & service providers
Lack of transparency regarding customizations and automation
Company:
Difficulties in identifying and documenting customizations throughout the system. This leads to inefficient management, especially in larger or complex environments.
Service provider:
A lack of transparency makes it difficult to analyze existing customizations, which increases project duration and drives up costs for customers.
Limited overview of system dependencies
Company:
Error-prone changes due to unrecognized dependencies between tables, fields and automations.
Service provider:
Difficulties in identifying the impact of planned changes, which slows down development processes and causes unexpected problems.
Inefficient security and compliance management
Company:
Insufficient monitoring of role changes and user assignments can lead to security gaps and make it difficult to meet compliance requirements.
Service provider:
Difficulties in setting up security policies and role models, as this has to be done manually and is prone to errors.
Management of audit processes
Company:
Complex audit logs that are difficult to interpret in terms of their structure and preparation.
Service providers:
difficulties in setting up effective audit frameworks and providing easily accessible information to their clients.
Lack of version and change control
Company:
Problems tracking customizations and changes over time, making it difficult to troubleshoot problems.
Service provider:
Difficulties in documenting the current status of a system and keeping changes traceable for customers.
Time and cost expenditure for support and implementation
Company:
Long onboarding process for new employees who first have to learn the system structure.
Service provider:
Additional effort for projects, as system analyses are very time-consuming without suitable tools.
Dependence on knowledge of the complex customizations and processes
Companies:
Project or product managers have extensive knowledge that is often not documented or easily accessible.
If they leave the company or change responsibilities, valuable expertise is lost, which leads to delayed projects and higher costs.
For service providers:
Here, too, the expertise usually lies with certain employees. If they are absent or leave the company, there is a loss of knowledge that can affect customer service and lead to project delays or errors.
This dependency also makes it more difficult to implement projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
Financial aspects
Companies & service providers
Incorrect customizations
Company:
Incorrectly implemented customizations can lead to unexpected downtime or data loss. Correcting these errors can result in high costs for companies, especially if the problems occur at a critical time.
Service provider:
A lack of documentation or transparency in customer environments leads to long analysis times and therefore expensive projects for the customer.
Compliance violations
Companies:
Unclear or incorrect audit trails can lead to legal penalties or sanctions if companies cannot effectively adhere to their compliance policies. This can result in significant costs due to legal proceedings and negative reputational impact.
Service providers:
The lack of effective compliance monitoring makes it difficult for service providers to advise their customers and can lead to miscalculations and additional project costs.
Inefficient deployment of personnel
Company:
Without a central platform like devonso, it is time-consuming for new employees to familiarize themselves with existing systems. This increases training costs and slows down the productivity of new team members.
Service provider:
High analysis times and complex environments require more experienced personnel in order to work efficiently, which in turn leads to higher costs for the service provider and customer.
Additional maintenance and development costs
Company:
Lack of overview of dependencies in the systems leads to increased costs for system maintenance, as updates and extensions can cause unforeseen problems.
Service provider:
Difficulties in versioning and managing customizations make it difficult to design maintenance packages efficiently, which increases development and maintenance costs.
Lost revenue due to lack of availability
Company:
Longer downtimes due to adaptation problems or unrecognized system dependencies can lead to direct sales losses.
Service providers:
Customers lose trust in service providers if problems in the customizations lead to downtimes, resulting in a negative customer relationship and fewer follow-up orders.
Problems The risks Challenges
Groups of people
System administrators
Lack of overview
Difficulties in gaining an overview of the entire adaptation landscape, which leads to inefficient administrative processes.
Manual monitoring:
Checking the configurations and dependencies is time-consuming and error-prone.
Audit problems:
Limited insight into changes to security configurations and audits, as these are scattered and difficult to understand.
Developer
Code search:
Manual searches for specific code snippets or plugins can be tedious and inefficient.
Lack of version control:
Difficulties in tracking previous customizations and their effects.
Dependencies:
Difficulty in recognizing dependencies between components, which can lead to errors when changes are made.
Project manager
Delays:
Delayed projects due to unexpected problems with customizations and dependencies.
Risk assessment:
Missing or incomplete information makes risk analysis and decision-making more difficult.
Team coordination
Difficult coordination of development teams due to lack of overview of customizations and configurations.
Compliance Manager
Compliance with regulations:
Lack of overview of audit logs and authorizations makes verification difficult.
Access rights:
Difficulties in determining and documenting effective authorizations across user roles and teams.
Process documentation:
Ineffective and scattered documentation makes it difficult to identify relevant business processes.
Team Leader/Scrum Master
Role and authorization management:
Manual maintenance and assignment of roles are tedious and error-prone.
Lack of insight:
Limited insight into the customizations made by the team members.
Software architects
Complexity management:
As business applications become increasingly complex, architects find it difficult to understand the entire system architecture, which can lead to unforeseen interactions and system errors.
Overview of dependencies:
It is often unclear how different components are connected to each other. This lack of overview makes it difficult to plan changes and updates, which can lead to unexpected errors or downtime.
Adherence to standards:
Architects are responsible for implementing best practices and architectural standards. Without appropriate tools, this can be difficult, especially for customizations that may not be standards-compliant.
Controlling
Cost control:
Without transparency in customizations and implementations, unexpected costs can arise for the correction of errors, restorations and additional development work.
Project budgeting:
A lack of information on past and current projects makes it difficult to plan budgets accurately and allocate resources for future projects.
Return on investment:
It is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of IT projects if there is no complete overview of the implementation and use of the business applications.
