So, you’re thinking about jumping into Microsoft Dynamics 365? Maybe FSCM or Business Central? Both are great choices, but getting there can feel like navigating a digital obstacle course full of tech headaches, integration puzzles, and customization curveballs.
According to Gartner, roughly 55% to 75% of ERP projects fail to meet their objectives. But here’s the secret that changes everything — partnering with an experienced Microsoft partner like Boyer and Associates transforms your journey from a high-risk gamble into a strategic business advantage. The Boyer partnership gives you an advantage beyond just software. With Boyer as your Microsoft partner you get:
Deep industry expertise
Your manufacturing company isn’t just any business. It’s a complex ecosystem with unique challenges. Boyer and Associates brings over two decades of industry-specific knowledge to the table. We’ve seen the intricate dance between production planning, inventory management, and financial reporting across hundreds of implementations.
Maybe you run a wholesale distribution, professional services or financial company. Perhaps you manage a nonprofit organization or association. We have experienced team members in these industries too.
Knowing how Microsoft solutions have worked for others in your industry — or for companies with similar use cases — means our consultants can do a better job of providing you with the right-fit solution you need.
Technical translation of needs to solution
Microsoft’s documentation might as well be written in a different language for most business users. Understanding all the different terms, features and nuances of the Microsoft ecosystem sometimes feels like it requires a degree. Partners like Boyer serve as your technical translators, bridging the gap between your business needs and Microsoft’s powerful capabilities. Because they know exactly what the software can do, they can effectively translate your requirements into a streamlined business process and tailored software system that does exactly what you need.
“We don’t just implement software; we implement solutions. Every business is unique, and cookie-cutter approaches fail every time.” —Cathy Dean, President, FSCM

The cost of going it alone
Meet “ABC Manufacturing Corp” (We’ve changed their name to protect the not-so-innocent.)
This company decided to save money by attempting a DIY implementation of Dynamics 365. The results? A project that was supposed to take eight months stretched to 18 months. Budget overruns exceeded 150%. And most devastating of all, six months post-go-live, they were still struggling with basic functionality.
The hidden costs included:
- Extended project timeline (225% longer than planned)
- Staff burnout from constant crisis management
- Opportunity cost of delayed digital transformation benefits
- Emergency consulting fees that exceeded the original partner cost
What you really get with a Boyer partnership
Risk mitigation
As your Microsoft partner we are not just an external resource implementing software. We’re your insurance policy against failure. With Boyer’s change management expertise and proven methodologies, you’re not just buying software; you’re buying peace of mind.
Future-proof your investment
Technology evolves at breakneck speed, and what seems cutting edge today might be outdated tomorrow. This is where a seasoned Microsoft partner like Boyer and Associates becomes invaluable. They don’t just implement a system; they architect a platform designed to evolve with your business and leverage emerging technologies.
Microsoft releases semi-annual updates to all its Dynamics 365 solutions, introducing new AI capabilities, enhanced automation, and improved integrations each time. Without expert guidance, these updates can feel overwhelming or even disruptive. With Boyer’s proactive approach, each update becomes an opportunity to further optimize your operations.
Knowledge transfer
The best partnerships don’t create dependency. Instead, they create capability. Boyer’s training programs and dedication to knowledge transfer ensure your team becomes self-sufficient while maintaining access to expert support when needed.
So what’s your next move?
The question isn’t whether you can afford to partner with experts like Boyer. The question should be whether you can afford to go it alone. In today’s competitive landscape, the companies that thrive are those that make smart, strategic decisions about their technology investments and related partnerships.
The Boyer advantage lies not just in our technical excellence, but also in our commitment to your success. We don’t just implement Dynamics 366. We help you transform and scale your business.
