Global Media Firm Achieves Common Platform with Dynamics 365 & Sonata’s Dynamics Migration Tool
Introduction
In today’s rapidly changing business environment, organizations need to be agile and highly responsive to step up and thrive in the long run. The case study showcases how a leading marketing and corporate communications company servicing over 5,000 clients in more than 100 countries was facing financial visibility and profitability challenges due to disparate systems, manual data management, and non-standardized business processes. Sonata helped implement Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (FO) and provided shared services support, automation, and improved manageability and audits.
Challenges
The first hurdle was the migration of its existing legacy code base (on AX) to Dynamics 365, which was time-consuming, expensive, and required extensive manual effort. The struggle to migrate to the new platform within the specified timeframe was monumental.
