From FinancialForce to Business Central in 6 weeks
Redpoint Resolutions is a medical and travel security risk company owned and operated by physicians and special operations veterans. The growing company needed to deploy a new financial system quickly and at an affordable price point, and selected Dynamics 365 Business Central as their solution. Using Rand Group’s Rapid Activation methodology, Redpoint deployed the all-in-one business management solution with financial management best practices in just 6 weeks.
Client: Redpoint Resolutions
The Goal
Upgrade from FinancialForce to Business Central in a short time frame with a fixed budget.
The Outcome
Activated Business Central in just six weeks with out-of-the-box functionality, core modules, and best practices.
Rand Group got our team up and running with Business Central in just weeks. Our time frame and budget were both limited, but they worked with us to meet our needs and exceeded expectations. We’ve found a new long-term partner.
The problem
Redpoint Resolution is a fast growing company and quickly outgrew FinancialForce for managing financials. The organization required a new financial system to handle their day to day operations, but did not have much time to get the solution installed or go through extensive user training. Redpoint knew they wanted to switch to Dynamics 365 Business Central, and needed a partner to implement the solution in just weeks, rather than months.
“With such a small team at Redpoint, many of us wear multiple hats and don’t have time to learn an entirely new system with complicated functionality. We needed just the basics of Business Central for now, with the idea of expanding in the future.”
Limited resources for implementation
The solution
Rapid Activation—a turnkey package of Business Central ready in weeks using best practices and out-of-the-box functionality. Rand Group developed the rapid methodology to help clients get on a new solution in a short time frame with a fixed fee and clear project deliverables.
Key features of Rapid Activation include:
- 8 week activation of Dynamics 365 Business Central
- Use of out-of-the-box functionality
- Targeted user training for quick proficiency
- Flexibility to add more modules or customization down the road
The result
Rand Group delivered Business Central in six weeks with these core modules: Financial Management, Accounts Payable and Receivable, Fixed Asset Management, and Cash Management. With a fixed budget and time frame, Rand Group activated core modules, kept all out-of-the-box functionality, and gave Redpoint targeted training on how to use Business Central’s workflows for its financial processes. With Business Central, Redpoint now enjoys greater functionality and scalability that its previous system lacked.
“Dynamics 365 Business Central is a much more robust solution that meets our financial requirements better than FinancialForce did. The Rand Group implementation team completed the project two weeks faster than anticipated, and made sure my team knew how to use the new system.”
The Rapid Activation gave Redpoint only what they needed when they needed it, favoring best practices over lengthy customizations. With Rand Group as a long-term support partner, Redpoint can add new functionality over time as their business grows and changes. In fact, just a few weeks after implementation, Redpoint contacted Rand Group to add account scheduling functionality.
