How to avoid the over-customization trap 

On the ERP Software Blog, Roman Davydov from Itransition wrote that while customization can make D365BC more useful, too much customization can create problems over time, including increasing maintenance costs, making the system harder to update, and leaving a company too dependent on one implementation partner. 

He pointed out that to get the most value from D365BC, companies should manage customization carefully from the start of the project and throughout the life of the system.

Davydov's post explained the risks of over-customization and offered practical advice for avoiding them.
