Microsoft Dynamics 365 Migration in Leicester
Moving Leicester organisations onto Dynamics 365, where how customisations are packaged determines what you can change afterwards. Solutions layer on top of each other, and a managed layer installed over your configuration restricts what can be edited underneath it — so the packaging decision made during migration constrains the next several years.
Why this comes up
The problem
Everything was deployed as unmanaged changes directly into production, and now nobody can tell what came from where.
What you get
What we deliver
- A solution strategy agreed before configuration begins, not retrofitted
- Environments separated so development does not happen in production
- Data migrated with relationships and lookups verified, not assumed
- Historic activity assessed against storage cost and actual usage
- Legacy customisations reviewed rather than reproduced by default
- A rehearsal into a non-production environment before the live cutover

Working in Leicester
East Midlands
Leicester is our home city. We are based here, most of our team lives here, and a good share of our clients are within a half-hour drive — which means site visits, workshops and hardware installs happen in person rather than over a call.
The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Migration in Leicester — common questions
- Why does solution layering matter?
- Because it defines what is editable later. Components delivered in a managed layer can only be changed in ways that layer permits, and organisations discover the restriction when they need a small adjustment and find the option greyed out.
- Should we rebuild old customisations?
- Review each one first. Migrations are the only realistic opportunity to remove customisations built for a process that has since changed, and reproducing the old system faithfully carries forward years of decisions nobody would make again.
- How much history should we bring?
- What will be used, plus what you must keep. Dataverse storage is a real cost and large volumes of historic activity slow both migration and daily use, while a read-only archive of the previous system usually serves the occasional lookup adequately.
- Is a rehearsal really necessary?
- Yes, at full scale. Migrations fail on volume, on relationship resolution and on data nobody looked at, and none of those appear in a sample. A rehearsal into a copy environment converts cutover weekend from a discovery exercise into a repeat performance.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leicester businesses do you usually work with?
- The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Textiles & Fashion, Logistics, Food & Drink, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leicester?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Northampton. Leicester is an urban area of roughly 560,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
