Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations
Gain the visibility and agility to deliver
projects on time and within budget
Connect teams to enhance project success across
service operations from prospect to cash
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations is a new Dynamics 365 application (launched in October 2020). The solution includes capabilities from Microsoft Project and project management accounting functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, to deliver a single application for everything you need to run your project operations – from quote to accounting and delivery.
The seamlessly integrated offering connects sales, resource management, project management, and accounting teams, to provide greater visibility, agility, and collaboration across the project operations business cycle. While the application is powerful on its own, its ability to work in tandem with other Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications (such as Sales, Finance, Marketing, etc.) and the Microsoft Power Platform, empowers you to analyze, act, and automate across the organization to transform your services-business from ground up. sa.global, an 11-time Microsoft Partner of the Year winner, is well-positioned to help you in this transformation covering the project-planning-and-implementation cycle.
