Are You Getting Full Value?

Six Signs You Are Not Getting
Full Value From Dynamics 365

These are the issues UK businesses describe most often when they come to Mercurius IT.
None of them require a new ERP project to fix.

01

Your Investment Is Under-Used

You are licensed for capability your team never adopted. Nobody has shown them what is available or why it matters.


With Mercurius IT: Adoption programmes and utilisation reviews that put the licences you already pay for to work.

02

Support Takes Days, Not Hours

You raise a ticket and wait. Your account manager does not call back.



With Mercurius IT: Defined SLAs and a UK-based support desk, with critical issues escalated immediately.

03

No Roadmap, No Proactive Guidance

Your partner fixes what breaks but never proposes what could improve.


With Mercurius IT: Quarterly business reviews and optimisation reports as standard, not as a chargeable extra.

04

You Have Outgrown Your Setup

The business has grown but the system has not. New entities, workflows and modules stall.


With Mercurius IT: Multi-entity and multi-country experience across 500+ implementations.

05

Costs Rise, Value Does Not

Support fees increase each year with no corresponding improvement in service or capability.


With Mercurius IT: Clearly scoped plans, and a delivery model built to give you more consultant time for your budget.

06

Missing the AI Conversation Entirely

Copilot is included in your licensing and nobody has discussed it with you.


With Mercurius IT: Copilot readiness assessments and practical AI guidance across your Dynamics stack.

Most businesses act after one of these: partner acquired or merged · support contract up for renewal · a stalled or failed project · a missed Wave update · costs rising with no explanation · your lead consultant left.

The Value Gap

The Gap Between What You Pay For and
What You Use

The cost of an underperforming partner rarely shows up on one invoice. It accumulates
across the year in hours, missed features and workarounds.

You Pay Twice for the Same Problem

Recurring support hours billed against issues that were never properly resolved. The invoice recurs. The fix does not.

Your Team Works Around the System

When nobody drives adoption, users revert to spreadsheets and shadow IT. The return on your Dynamics investment quietly disappears.

You Miss What You Already Own

Delayed Wave updates mean new AI and automation capability sits unused while the licence renews at full cost.

Improvement Stops at Go-Live

Most partners disappear once the project closes. Without optimisation, health checks and roadmap input, your system ages while your business moves on.

60-SECOND SCORECARD

How Much Value Is Your Dynamics 365 Partner
Actually Delivering?

Ten quick questions about your current setup. You’ll see your score straight away
– no email required – plus the two areas where you’re leaving
the most value on the table.

1 / 10
01

The Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About

 Reactive-only support with no proactive guidance
 
 Copilot capability included in your subscription and never discussed
 
  Rising support fees year on year, with no service improvement
 
  No documented roadmap tying your Dynamics 365 investment to business goals
 New Dynamics 365 features you are licensed for but never briefed on
 
 Slow response to critical issues during month-end or peak trading
 
  Customisations built in a way only your current partner can maintain
 
  User adoption gaps that quietly erode your return

How Switching Works

If You Do Decide to Move, It Is
Simpler Than You Expect

As a Microsoft customer you can change Dynamics 365 partner at any time. Microsoft processes a partner transfer provided there is no unresolved commercial dispute with your current provider. You choose who you work with – Microsoft does not need to approve your new partner.

01

A Conversation, Not a Pitch


No sales pressure. An honest assessment of whether moving is right for you.

02

Free System and Value Review


You find out what is working, what is not, and what you are not using.

03

Serve Notice on Your Current Partner


Most contracts carry 90 days’ notice. Mercurius IT guides you through it.

04

Complete the Partner Transfer


A simple electronic form. Mercurius IT does the heavy lifting. Zero downtime.

05

Onboard to MaxCare Support


Support starts from day one. No delays.

Most Dynamics 365 support contracts carry a 90-day notice period, aligned to annual renewal. Serve notice before your renewal date to avoid an automatic 12-month extension. Mercurius IT will review your contract terms with you during the free assessment.

Everything You Need to Know About
Switching Dynamics 365 Partner

Can I change my Microsoft Dynamics partner at any time?

Yes. As a Microsoft customer you can switch Dynamics 365 partners at any point, provided there is no unresolved commercial dispute with your existing provider. The transfer is a standard Microsoft form. Microsoft does not need to approve your new partner – you choose who you work with.

How much notice do I need to give my current Dynamics partner?

Check your support contract; most carry a 90-day notice period. If it renews annually, serve notice before the renewal date – missing that window usually means another 12 months. Mercurius IT will review the terms with you during the free assessment.

Will switching partner affect my live Dynamics 365 system?

No. The transfer is administrative. There is no downtime, no data migration and no disruption to users. Your Dynamics 365 environment continues running exactly as it does today – only who supports it changes.

How long does the partner transfer process take?

The Microsoft Partner Transfer form clears in a few working days once both parties are aligned. Full transition, including onboarding to MaxCare, system review and handover, typically completes in 2 to 4 weeks. Mercurius IT manages the process end to end.

What happens to my Dynamics 365 licences when I switch?

Nothing. Licences, subscriptions and your environment stay exactly as they are. Switching partner does not affect your Microsoft agreement or any customisations. During onboarding Mercurius IT reviews your licence position so you are not overpaying for unused capacity.

We are mid-project. Can we still switch?

Yes, though timing matters. Mercurius IT will review the project state during the free assessment and advise whether to switch now or at a defined milestone. In some cases switching mid-project reduces risk rather than adding it.

What happens to the customisations our current partner built?

They remain yours. Mercurius IT audits every customisation during onboarding, documents what exists, and advises what to keep, rebuild as an extension, or retire. You are not locked to your current partner by your own configuration.

Do you support all versions of Dynamics 365?

Yes. Mercurius IT supports Business Central, Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Project Operations and Customer Insights. Legacy support covers Dynamics NAV (from Navision 3.x onwards) and Dynamics CRM on-premises. If you are running it, Mercurius IT can support it.

What industries do you specialise in?

Manufacturing, distribution and logistics, healthcare, aerospace and defence, oil and gas energy professional services, finance, and not-for-profit. Mercurius IT has completed 500+ implementations across these sectors in 21 years of Dynamics delivery.

How is Mercurius IT different from larger consulting firms?

Enterprise-grade Microsoft expertise with a more agile, responsive delivery model. UK-led consulting backed by a highly skilled global delivery team means you access experienced Dynamics consultants and more of their time for your budget, without compromising service quality.

What does the free Value Assessment actually cover?

Support quality and response times, system utilisation, licensing optimisation, user adoption, Copilot and AI readiness, and roadmap alignment. You receive a personalised improvement report whether or not you choose to work with Mercurius IT.

What is MaxCare?

MaxCare is the Mercurius IT proactive support programme for Dynamics 365 and Business Central. It includes a dedicated helpdesk, defined SLAs, quarterly business reviews, Wave update briefings, user training, and optimisation reports – designed so your Dynamics investment keeps compounding after go-live.
