Ms Dynamics 365 Quote Est
Microsoft Dynamics 365 subscriptions generally follow a monthly per-user pricing model, meaning there are no mandatory upfront costs for licensing. However, there may be upfront costs associated with:
Implementation and Setup Costs
• Hiring a Microsoft partner for:
• Initial setup and configuration: Customising the system to fit your agricultural business.
• Data migration: Importing existing data from other systems (e.g., inventory, customer records).
• Integration: Connecting Business Central with other tools (e.g., Excel, SmugMug for image storage, accounting software).
• Customisation: Developing custom reports or workflows.
• Estimated costs: £2,000 to £10,000+, depending on complexity.
Training Costs
• Employees may require training to fully utilise the system.
• Options:
• Microsoft online resources (free).
• Partner-led training sessions (can cost £500 to £3,000 based on depth and duration).
Customisation and Add-ons
• If you require additional functionality beyond the standard package, such as:
• Advanced inventory tracking, custom workflows, or third-party integrations.
• Power BI dashboards for enhanced analytics.
• Costs can vary widely depending on the complexity of your requirements.
Consulting Fees
• Engaging with a consultant for business process mapping and system optimisation.
• Estimated at £75–£200 per hour, depending on the partner.
5. Infrastructure Costs (if on-premises)
• If you choose the on-premises deployment instead of the cloud version, you’ll need to invest in:
• Server hardware.
• IT maintenance.
• Backup and disaster recovery solutions.
• Cloud hosting, however, removes these upfront costs and is included in the subscription fee.
Potential Discounted Offers
• Microsoft often provides free trials (30 days) to test the system before committing.
• Some partners offer “starter packs” at a reduced price to lower initial costs.
