Hydra iT Services
Project implementation services for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales solution online or on premise follow an agile and effective methodology, focused on results and the satisfaction of our Customers, with the following steps:
- Technological consultancy: initial requirements analysis and project description. Hydra's team of consultants, experienced in implementing projects, knows the reality of each specific business in each sector of activity.
- Project Management: it is the basic requirements of each project to have the project manager of the Hydra iT Team and the project manager of the Client's team, ensuring easy communication between the teams. It is the responsibility of the Hydra’s project manager:
- The realization of the project plan (schedule) and the monitoring of its execution
- Compliance with established deadlines and budgets.

At this moment, Hydra iT consultants carry out on-site follow-up actions in the workplace for all users, in the first days of operation of the solution in order to enhance the adoption of the system and give maximum confidence to users in all tasks that should play.
- Solution support: after completion of the project, Hydra iT guarantees the continuity of support and support to users through the execution of a support contract. The Hydra’s support team guarantees maintenance: preventive, evolutionary and corrective of the solution. Customers with a support contract have access to the Customer Portal where they can open new support requests, interact with the Hydra iT team and consult the status of each order.
Regarding CRM management systems, namely on premise (on-site installation with perpetual licensing), companies choose to take advantage of the implementation over time, benefiting from the guarantee and support that Microsoft offers for all versions for various years.
The moment when each company will update its Microsoft CRM solution is often used to redeploy the solution or, at least, to adapt its functionalities to new processes or to develop new business requirements. In this way, Hydra iT offers companies that already use Microsoft management solutions: Dynamics CRM, CRM 2016, 2015 or earlier, their services for updating versions or migrating solutions that may include the transition from on premise solutions to Cloud.
When the Client intends to redeploy its CRM solution, the methodology developed by Hydra iT is similar to the global implementation of solutions, with the phases and activities of: Technological consultancy, Project Management, Implementation, Integration Development, Data migration, Training , Start-up monitoring and solution support.
When the Client intends to transition his solution from his local servers to the Cloud, Hydra iT adds value by carrying out this work with minimal impact on the company's operation and enhancing all the associated benefits, namely in terms of security, accessibility and solution availability.
When the Customer intends to update the solution without process changes or new areas of implementation, Hydra iT performs the following services:
- Comparison of specifics: detailed identification of specific functionalities and modules of the solution in operation.
- Implementation of specifics in the new version: configuration and development tasks in the solution. It includes creating users and assigning access policies and permissions.
- Report Development: when necessary, a survey of the reports, documents and analyzes used by the company is carried out in order to replicate the same information and formats in the new solution.
- Integration Development: in this phase, when there is a significant technological evolution, web services are developed or Microsoft connectors are implemented in order to synchronize information from the Dynamics 365 BC solution with other systems and platforms, namely, EDI with customers or suppliers, web sites, business portals, specific business systems, peripheral equipment such as scales or time clocks, etc.
- Data migration: loading data into the new solution. You can include in the scope of the project only the creation of the base data (customers, contacts, orders, open budgets, product and price lists, etc.) or we can also include the migration of the information history that exists in the company.
- Validation and approval tests: at all levels and for all processes, tests are carried out in team with the users of the solution in order to guarantee the exact functioning of the solution. Hydra iT has a global checklist of tests to be carried out and to be approved by users of the solution.
- Training and exploration of new features: key activities for the success of the projects implemented by Hydra iT. The training is carried out at the Client with the key users directed to each area of the solution and directed to the main differences between versions and the presentation of new features.
- Follow-up on start-up: after the completion of the training, the start date of the solution's operation is scheduled. At this moment, Hydra iT consultants carry out on-site follow-up actions in the workplace for all users, in the first days of operation of the solution in order to enhance the adoption of the system and give maximum confidence to users in all tasks that should play.
