Your Dynamics 365 landscape,
brought into one coherent direction.
I help organisations connect business goals, functional design and technical delivery across Dynamics 365 ERP, CE, Commerce, integration and data. My advice is independent, pragmatic and evidence-based — so important decisions can be made with confidence.

The landscape lacks one coherent direction
ERP, CE, Commerce, data and integration workstreams are being designed separately, and the programme needs one architecture that connects them.
Important decisions still depend on assumptions
A platform choice, integration pattern or solution component carries material cost or delivery risk and needs objective trade-offs and evidence before commitment.
A blueprint or partner proposal needs an independent view
The proposed solution may work, but its complexity, long-term cost, fit to standard or operating consequences are not yet clear.
Architecture and delivery are drifting apart
The target design looks convincing, but teams are struggling to convert it into a stable, integrated and supportable solution.
Confidence in the programme is declining
Decisions, dependencies, ownership and risks need to become visible again without undermining the people or partners involved.
Where I help organisations most
I typically operate across several domains at once — keeping the architecture coherent while specialists own their areas.
Architecture direction & assessment
One defensible direction that business stakeholders and delivery teams can both use — including an independent read on a blueprint or partner proposal.
ERP, Commerce & customer architecture
Consistent business logic, responsibilities and customer outcomes across channels, applications and geographies — not separate implementations.
Integration, API & data architecture
A governed integration and data foundation — designed with a realistic understanding of how Dynamics actually behaves, and ready for analytics and agentic use.
Evidence through prototypes & PoCs
Important choices based on visible behaviour rather than assumptions — rapid prototypes before the design, focused proof after it.
Programme recovery & architecture assurance
A realistic route from fragmentation and declining confidence back to controlled, coherent delivery.
Enough structure to decide well. Enough agility to create value early.
Complex transformations need a sound foundation, but they should not disappear into months of analysis before anything is learned. My preferred approach combines focused discovery, rapid prototyping of solution alternatives, high-level solution design, targeted PoCs and iterative delivery with consolidated end-to-end assurance. It is a preferred starting point, not a methodology imposed on the client.

The depth, made visible
I analyse each Commerce Scale Unit release from the actual code, API surface and flight keys — then publish what I find, and the tools I built to find it.

Latest writing
Most D365 architects are either functional or technical. I hold both.
I keep the helicopter view across an entire Dynamics landscape while staying hands-on enough to prototype the alternatives before a decision is made — and I’ll tell you what you need to hear, not only what you want to.
More about me →How the separation works
Clients engage me through PMN Consulting for independent architecture and advisory. Where a client separately needs specialist capacity to validate or implement a defined solution, 365CONNECT can be considered as one optional delivery route. Any involvement is transparent, separately scoped and compatible with the client’s existing teams and implementation partners. My architectural recommendations do not depend on 365CONNECT becoming involved.
Let’s bring your Dynamics 365 architecture into focus.
Whether it’s an assessment, a programme that needs steadying, or a design decision worth getting right the first time.
