FastTrack for Dynamics 365
Partner Presentation
Accelerate implementation
and go-live with confidence
We’re very impressed with the
FastTrack collaboration with
PowerObjects. In partnership with
Microsoft, both teams were able to
navigate and overcome unexpected
challenges with the greatest zeal.

FastTrack for Dynamics 365 is a
customer success program
powered by the Microsoft
engineering team to enable
organizations to accelerate
Dynamics 365 implementations
and go-live with confidence
Based on Success by Design
Predictable Success
2.2x
higher usage of
Dynamics 365
Early Detection Proactive Guidance
The Dynamics 365 engineering team brings you the learnings and
experiences from 3000+ cloud deployments through Success by Design.
Success by Design is the prescriptive guidance - approaches &
recommended practices - and framework for designing, building and
deploying a Dynamics 365 solution.
It is grounded in fundamentals of good solution architecture and design,
product capabilities, and proven approaches to business process
transformation and implementation.
Designed around three core principles:
More and more customers are going live with FastTrack
45%
YoY average
increase in number
of FastTrack go-lives
FastTrack helped us
succeed with our cloud
migration and gave our
team confidence.

To request FastTrack guidance, partners must
Be the selected implementation partner of an eligible customer
Be a Gold or Silver status partner in the Cloud Business Applications
competency through
• Customer Engagement Option for Customer Engagement projects
• Unified Operations Option for Unified Operations projects
Ensure all project leadership team members (Solution Architects, Project
Managers, Lead consultants, etc.) complete the Success by Design training
and knowledge check prior to project initiation
Help customers realize better business results
Implement high-
quality solutions
Go live with
confidence
Incorporate
recommended
practices for
implementations
Enhance your
credibility
Implement high-quality solutions using the Success
by Design framework
Another project methodology? Do we really need that?
Not an uncommon reaction to our first internal presentations of
Success by Design. But while Success by Design is all about our
projects, it’s less about theory and more about ensuring the best
outcome for our daily business.
At ORBIS, we deliver successful Dynamics projects for more than
fifteen years, but we always look for ways to improve. Success by
Design provided us with a clear cut, comprehensive, yet simple
template for quality assurance that helps our team and improves our
cooperation with Microsoft in FastTrack engagements.
Best of all—instead of having to change our existing workflows and
adding convoluted methodology requirements (here’s looking at you,
SureStep!), Success by Design easily integrated with our preferred
practices and works well with different methodologies.
