Dynamics Architect

Key Projects

The organization utilizes Salesforce along with a public-facing portal to support projects cultivated by individuals around the world. As architects and developers on this initiative, the objective is to bring functionality into an existing and actively used Dynamics environment. The approach maintains established architectural patterns, including the use of Power Automate and process-driven automation.

Key Considerations

• Ensuring data integrity across business units
• Maintaining strict security boundaries through roles and security architecture
• Alligning with pre-existing solution patterns to minimize disruption
• Preserving scalability and maintainability within the broader enterprise ecosystem

Full Modernization Effort

• Removal of deeply embedded third-party solution components
• Create a clean development environment
• Selective extraction and migration of necessary assets
• Establish a strict managed-solution ALM model
• Migrate across Development, Test, UAT, and Production environments as part of go-live
• Remove hard-coded static values embedded in Flows and processes
• Refactor automation for ALM compliance
• Standardize solution deployment strategy
• Establish a sustainable managed-solution-first model

Architectural Priorities

• Clear, maintainable solution patterns
• Alignment with existing implementation approaches
• Lowest total cost of ownership
• Knowledge transfer and sustainability for internal support teams
• Design decisions favor maintainability
