Software is a Tool.
It’s Expertise that Build Solutions.
Consulting & Architecting
Software consultants provide a business with guidance and configuration suggestions for technology solutions, in order to increase agility, efficiency and minimize manpower or costs. Solution Architects and Functional & Technical Consultants are specialists who determine an organization’s needs and processes and recommend software, hardware and overall solutions based on their evaluation of the business and its processes.

Solution Architect
Because Microsoft Dynamics solutions are already well architected, a solution architect does not need to be involved in straight out-of-the-box implementations. However, your business might have a complex set of requirements and a need for integration with other business tools or processes. That is where a solution architect comes into play. A solution architect is a technology expert that makes high-level design decisions, including technical standards regarding the implementation of an ERP solution.
A solution architect is always thinking about the total cost of ownership for the solution being proposed. This includes considering security-related issues and keeping in mind the principles of maintainability and fragility of the system. Using these guide posts the software architect will ensure the solution grows with your company and continues to be relevant for future upgrades.
A Solution Architect is involved with:
Determining overall design approach
