Top 5 Requirements for Choosing the Best Microsoft Dynamics Partner
True transformation takes a clear strategy, a cultural shift, and a rethinking of how work gets done. And when your teams are already stretched thin, knowing where to start can feel impossible.
That’s where the right partner makes all the difference. For more than 30 years, JourneyTeam has been bringing the roadmap, expertise, and ongoing commitment that customers need to move change forward. It’s not just about implementing Microsoft solutions; it’s about building trust, navigating challenges together, and staying by your side long after the launch. That’s the JourneyTeam difference.
1. Results You Can Measure
At JourneyTeam, we begin every engagement with one simple question: What does success look like for you? Not in vague terms, but in real, practical outcomes you want to see in your business.
We call that your Flag Plant: the clear, measurable goal that guides everything. Maybe you want to cut operating costs. Maybe you’re trying to speed up a process that drags your team down. Or maybe you want to deliver a better customer experience. Whatever matters most to you becomes the north star we build around.
A Flag Plant isn’t just a nice idea. It means:
- We define “winning” together before a single task kicks off.
- Everyone stays aligned, so goals don’t shift or get lost in the noise.
- Progress is measured against what you care about, not what looks good on a project plan.
We track progress openly, check in regularly, and adjust as needed—keeping you in the loop every step of the way. And after you go live, we won’t disappear, we’ll continue to measure adoption, impact, and ongoing value to ensure your long-term scalability and success.
2. All-in-One Microsoft Expertise
Not every partner truly lives and breathes Microsoft, but JourneyTeam does. When you work with us, you’re getting a 100 percent-focused Microsoft Solutions Partner. with the depth to connect every dot across the ecosystem, so your entire solution works together in service of your goals.
Our full-stack Microsoft expertise spans:
- Dynamics 365 (ERP & CRM)
- Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate)
- Azure (cloud infrastructure, data modernization)
- Microsoft 365 (collaboration, productivity)
- Security & AI (Copilot, governance, threat protection)
3. Advanced Specializations and Proven Excellence
Microsoft doesn’t hand out Advanced Specializations lightly. They’re reserved for partners who demonstrate consistent, proven excellence in specific solution areas. JourneyTeam holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner Designations and more than 15 Advanced Specializations spanning Copilot, Data & AI, Security, and Modern Work.
That means we’re not guessing. We’re bringing vetted, validated, high-level expertise to every engagement. It’s the difference between a partner who “can probably figure it out” and one who already knows how to get you where you want to go.

4. A Proven Process for Success
There’s no such thing as a cookie-cutter transformation. Every JourneyTeam project starts the same way: we listen, we dig in, we ask questions and get to know your business before talking solutions or timelines.
Then, we map out a plan that feels clear, achievable, and tailored to how your teams actually work. From there, the process unfolds in a series of intentional, well-defined stages:
- Envision and Plan: We validate requirements, clarify expectations, and build a plan that aligns with your organization’s needs.
- Delivery and Launch: Work happens in short, focused cycles, with regular check-ins, complete visibility, and a steady rhythm of progress. Before anything goes live, we test relentlessly, internally and with your users.
- Evolve: Launch day isn’t the finish line. JourneyTeam stays close, tracking adoption, gathering feedback.
5. The Sherpa Program: Rapid, Real-World Success
Adopting new technology can feel like standing at the base of a mountain: excited about what’s ahead, but unsure how to take the first step. When time, budget, and internal expertise are limited, the climb can seem even steeper.
That’s why JourneyTeam created Sherpa, our hallmark program designed to guide you every step of the way. Sherpa gives organizations a clear, structured path to Microsoft adoption with hands-on support, practical learning, and a community to lean on. You’re not left to “figure it out” after a kickoff meeting, you’re supported throughout the entire journey.

- You join a group of peers, sharing insights and challenges, supported by recorded sessions and office hours to answer your questions as they arise in your day-to-day work.
