Where Microsoft delivery usually starts to drift
Most projects do not fail because the platform is wrong. They fail because requirements are unclear, governance is weak, data quality is underestimated, or AI ideas move ahead without a workable business case.
Unclear CRM requirements
Requirements, workflows and reporting logic are still moving while build decisions are already being made.
Weak Power Platform governance
Apps and automations exist, but ownership, standards and supportability do not.
Migration risk discovered too late
Data quality, mapping and cutover issues only become visible near go-live.
AI ideas without operational value
Use cases sound promising, but process fit, data readiness and governance are missing.
Service pillars
Four Microsoft specialisations, structured around the points where delivery quality and business confidence usually break down.
Dynamics 365 Consulting
Fix unclear CRM requirements, service workflows and reporting gaps before they create rework.
Power Platform Consulting
Improve governance, delivery confidence and operational trust across apps, automation and reporting.
Data & Migration Advisory
Reduce migration risk before data issues reach testing, cutover or go-live.
AI Consulting
Identify AI use cases that are worth implementing, with governance and business fit built in from the start.
Why BODVE
Start with the business problem
The work starts with process, risk, reporting and delivery realities before platform design.
Stronger delivery judgement
BODVE focuses on the points where projects usually become expensive: unclear scope, weak controls, poor handover and late data surprises.
Specialist Microsoft focus
Dynamics 365, Power Platform, migration and AI advisory are the core practice, not side offerings.
Useful without the theatre
Clear language, realistic recommendations and next steps that make sense. No oversized transformation narrative.
BODVE stays directly involved, which means clearer trade offs and recommendations shaped around real delivery constraints.
Anonymised engagement outcomes
Specific examples from engagements where earlier intervention reduced cost, risk and delivery uncertainty.
Dynamics 365 CRM
4-week scoping engagement
A professional services firm resolved scope ambiguity before the build phase, saving an estimated 6 weeks of CRM rework.
Sales workflow requirements were mapped and signed off before configuration began, preventing mid-build reversals that would have required redeployment.
Data Migration
3-week readiness review
A mid-market manufacturer avoided a failed cutover by surfacing data mapping gaps 8 weeks before go-live.
A migration readiness review found 3 critical field mapping issues and 2 data ownership gaps that would have delayed go-live and required emergency remediation.
Power Platform
2-week advisory review
A not-for-profit identified which Power Platform apps were worth keeping and who was responsible for them.
A short review mapped app ownership, flagged three automations with no active owner, and gave the team a simple standard to follow before building anything new.
How BODVE works
1. Diagnose the problem
Clarify business context, delivery reality, constraints and what is actually going wrong.
2. Set a sensible plan
Shape scope, priorities, governance and decisions that fit your environment rather than an ideal future state.
3. Support delivery
Stay involved where ambiguity, delivery risk or stakeholder misalignment could create expensive rework.
4. Tighten the outcome
Use post-go-live or mid-program review to close gaps, improve confidence and extract more value from the platform.
