Consolidating and modernizing legacy applications while moving to

the Cloud will allow your organization to deliver applications faster,

quickly extend applications with new capabilities and deploy them on

mobile devices. Let your applications live on-premises, in the cloud, or

both.

OverviewOffices and agencies need to be able to respond at

unprecedented speed as well as dynamic scale,

focusing resources on high value missions and driving

down the cost to maintain legacy systems in a time of

never-ending application sprawl. That speed, scale and

efficiency is only possible with a consistent platform

that lets organizations build and manage modern

business applications to meet the most demanding

business requirements.

Tools and resources are needed to deliver industry-

leading performance, high availability, and the highest

level of security protection. Organizations should

continue to leverage existing IT investments and skills

in order to save time and money. Applications must

process all types of data, big and small, and provide

intelligent services delivered through cost saving cloud

services onto secure mobile devices.

anywhereSpan multiple devices

Enhanced security and availability

A comprehensive data platform

enables you to manage, store,

process, and analyze relational

and non-relational data across

local, hybrid, and cloud

premises on physical and

virtual servers.

With the right cloud platform,

you can preserve data

compatibility and integration

with your existing applications

and continue to leverage

existing skills while making the

most out of your data. You can

also get leading-edge

performance with in-memory

solutions across all workloads.

It's one scalable solution for

high volumes and high

availability.

Cloud services will simplify the

development of a unified back-

end, enabling organizations to

connect existing applications,

data, and services to any

device: PCs, tablets, and

phones. A common

development experience allows

IT and developers to use their

skills to make the most of

existing code. Browser-based

interfaces can easily be created

using leading-edge web

technologies for any device.

Simplified identity allows you to reduce your security risk and lower the burden of managing multiple

credentials and identities across private and public clouds. Your cloud services must deliver high

availability with minimal effort through automated application monitoring, load balancing, and failover.

Elastic infrastructure provides virtually infinite on-demand scalability as well as cloud-enabled

availability, backup, and recovery services for on-premises deployments to help organizations take

advantage of the benefits of cloud.

Rapid, dynamic

lifecycle

COTS platforms and cloud

services will enable organizations

to develop, test, and deploy

faster than ever before.

Prototyping of new ideas can be

handled rapidly with cloud

services, using familiar tools such

as Visual Studio to increase

developer productivity.

Application management tools

remove barriers between

business stakeholders,

development teams, testing, and

operations to help you deliver

high-quality software more

quickly.

Application portfolios have suffered from a lack of attention by many organizations since as far back as

Y2K – the last major landmark IT change event for applications. This is due, in part, to tighter IT budgets

over the last decade, and growing demand by the business for new functionality which has forced many

organizations to focus their efforts on supporting the business at the expense of IT maintenance.

Furthermore, as organizations continue to add new applications, and application vendors continue to

upgrade to keep in step with the newest operating systems, IT departments are faced with serious

application sprawl and a growing backlog of out-of-date and often unsupported applications.

IT departments must now take on a deep examination of their application portfolio to determine if, and

how, they can migrate to these new platforms. As they do, they are realizing the need to implement new

processes to ensure that application portfolio health is maintained on an ongoing basis to avoid costly,

wholesale portfolio migration projects in the future.

The first critical step in addressing the portfolio is to rationalize the applications portfolio. By

rationalizing the portfolio, IT can identify unused, redundant and out of date applications and trim down

the portfolio through application elimination, consolidation and modernization

Microsoft can help your organization develop

modern applications and modernize legacy

applications to capitalize on IT paradigms, including

cloud, social, mobility, and big data.

Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over the

life of the application

Reduced risk to mission-critical systems and

improved supportability

Configure your modern application

on Dynamics and experience

shortened time-to-value because the underlying framework of

Dynamics can be used as a solution

development framework, reducing

project timelines without having to

adapt the business to match the

software model.

By using Dynamics as a solution

development framework,

organizations can invest once, yet

develop multiple applications. This

reduces the cost and time associated

with development and accelerates

ROI.

Dynamics helps reduces the cost of

creating solutions by providing core

services within the framework itself,

as well as close interoperability with

Microsoft technologies such as

Azure, SQL Server and Office.

TextThe Microsoft Cloud for Government is built around three distinct cloud services to provide Productivity,

Business Applications, and a flexible platform to meet government needs through Office 365, CRM Online,

and Azure.

While these three services are all great standalone. Together, they create a virtuous cycle that drives

more value than they do independently. Microsoft is unique in our strength to offer SaaS, and SaaS

extensibility, through Office 365 and CRM Online as well as PaaS and IaaS through Microsoft Azure.

Office 365, CRM Online, and Microsoft Azure All use the same core cloud infrastructure for the best

performance and interoperability—same data center, same network, and the same identity service.

Comprehensively address organization needs.

Dynamics capabilities for application

modernization.

Dashboards – Users have the ability to utilize the

rich search and charting tools to produce

dashboards and reports that provide timely and

relevant information

Workflow – Configurable and customizable

Workflows reduce repetitive tasks for users and

drive the action through the proper processes.

The approvals and workflow progress can be

tracked up and down the chain-of-command

while user interactive workflows (Dialogs) lead

users through decision-making processes as

required.

Native Integration – Commonly used tools are

seamlessly integrated with Dynamics including

Office tools, such as Excel, Word, Outlook, and

SharePoint. The Excel integration offers a

recognized reporting tool within the platform,

while Word templates save time by providing

preformatted documents in a consistent design

for communicating with external people and

process. Integration with Microsoft Outlook

provides the ability to manage email

conversations by automatically tracking important

information. The native SharePoint integration

takes advantage of the strong document

management and collaboration features to extend

the platform’s functionality even further.

Legacy Integration – Dynamics provides a

dynamic web service interface for applications to

access and manipulate platform data and

metadata and to interact with platform services.

These services enable the development of .NET

applications using Microsoft Visual Studio, or the

development of non-.NET applications using other

tools by simply referencing the web services. The

web services exposed by the platform are WSI BP

1.1 compliant, which makes the web services

interoperable with non-Microsoft platforms.

Microsoft Dynamics provides a strong set of APIs

and support for SOAP and REST.

Security – Whether data is entered into the system

manually, via workflow automation, or through

integration with other systems, the multi-faceted

security model for the Dynamics platform will

protect the data for your organization. At the

highest level, information can be secured between

organizations and business units. Users will only

have access to information that’s relevant to them

through their organizational hierarchy, and will be

assigned one or more security roles based on their

specific organizational function(s). Role-based

security can be configured to give users read-only,

create, modify or no-access to functional

information. Field level security gives you the

ultimate control what data users have access to for a

given record. The platform and its supporting

products can be configured to exclusively use

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)

certified algorithms and components covering all

cryptographic functions when the application is

operating in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode.

Mobile – The platform is highly reliable, scalable

and accessible. Users will have the option to access

their work from mobile devices such as tablets and

smart phones, as well as offline access when the

network is unavailable. The web-based platform

supports a variety of browsers, including: Internet

Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Mozilla

Firefox.

Accessibility – The platform provides accessibility

features that meet the requirements of Section 508

Standards. A Voluntary Product Accessibility, or

VPAT, is provided to show how the software product

meets key regulations of Section 508 of the

Rehabilitation Act. Microsoft Dynamics has been

implemented at many Federal agencies in the

United States with strict 508 compliance policies and

product continues to help those expectations.
