The company, with over 70 locations, employs 3,200 people and generates annual revenue close to 1 billion dollars. My responsibilities included deploying Dynamics 365 Field Service to streamline and optimize service delivery, Dynamics 365 Customer Service to enhance customer engagement and support, and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations to ensure robust financial management and operational efficiency. Due to the importance of the project, this engagegment is confidential.

The approach maximized the Dynamics 365 platform's capabilities, utilizing advanced features like dual write for immediate data coherency, virtual entities for efficient data integration without replication, and custom APIs tailored to Delta Star's specific transactional pathways.
