Objectives
Estimate the fit of customer’s environment to implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX and best approach to solution architecture
Solution Architecture, Fit Gap and high level blueprint
• Determine the level of customization and configuration will be required
• Identify and recommend an Implementation Strategy and its associated Project Phases
Validation of technical environment requirements and hardware and budgetary considerations
Provide you with an understanding of how Microsoft Dynamics AX will work in your business.

Overview and Schedule
5
This is the process flow we used to do our analysis over the last several weeks...
The following are the top requirements and considerations which were used to develop the recommended solution architecture
High Level Solution Architecture – Requirements and Consideration
6
Insert Customization Description here.
Discuss how the technical requirement or consideration will be handled in the architecture Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Provide an effort estimate in hours.
As a business you need to validate if these Business/IT requirements are truly necessary or if the requirement can be dropped in order to reduce implementation costs.
*N.B. Development only. This doesn’t include Unit Testing, UAT, Performance Testing, Design Specification, etc.
The following is a summary of the recommended solution architecture

Fit-Gap Findings – Requirements for Data Migration?
12
List the Customization ID from the Fit/Gap spreadsheet here.
Describe the data element.
What volume of data needs to be migrated?
How often will the data migration need to occur?
Will it be a manual process, some custom code written from Microsoft Visual studio, BizTalk Server, or Custom Code with an End-User Interface.
Provide a description of how the Data will be migrated and how the Semi Auto or Automated Solution would work.
Provide an effort estimate here.
*N.B. Development only. This doesn’t include Unit Testing, UAT, Performance Testing, Design Specification, etc.
As a business you need to validate if this level of automation of data migration is required or if the requirement can be dropped in order to reduce implementation costs.
Fit-Gap & Solution Blueprint Deliverables

Fit-Gap Spreadsheet This is the spreadsheet which lists all the requirements, how they will be addressed (“out-of-the-box,” configuration and customization) and the effort estimate associated with each deliverable.
Solution Blueprint This is a Report (written in Microsoft Word) which covers our understanding of the requirements, discusses Microsoft Dynamics AX functional fit, reviews key design points, discusses customization and integration requirements, reviews the proposed conceptual design and lists any assumptions made.
Before moving on to the next steps (LCS proof of Concept and Scoping Assessment) it is important for you to validate this Fit-Gap Spreadsheet & Solution Blueprint to make sure we have a clear understanding of your requirements.
