Our point of view: technology alone is not enough

At BearingPoint, we believe that CRM and Power Platform transformations only succeed when they are designed around people, process, and operating model — not just technology configuration.

Our point of view is built on three principles:

  • Operating model transformation must come first. The most common reason CRM programmes fail is not the technology — it is the absence of a clear operating model, defined ownership, and aligned processes before implementation begins.
  • Governance is a strategic enabler. Enterprise-scale Power Platform adoption requires a structured governance framework — including a Centre of Excellence, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), security guardrails, and maker enablement — from day one, not as an afterthought.
  • Integration strategy determines long-term value. Dynamics 365 and Power Platform are most powerful when connected to the wider Microsoft ecosystem and existing enterprise platforms. Integration architecture decisions made early determine whether organizations achieve a unified data estate or another set of siloed tools.

These principles guide every engagement we undertake, from initial advisory through to go-live and beyond.

Real-world impact: use cases by industry

Our Dynamics 365 and Power Platform practice has delivered outcomes across a range of industries. Here are examples of how we apply our capabilities in real-world contexts:

Public Sector: unified citizen service platform

A government agency was managing citizen enquiries across five disconnected systems, resulting in long resolution times and an inability to track case status end-to-end. BearingPoint implemented Dynamics 365 Customer Service as a single platform for case intake, triage, and resolution, integrated with legacy systems via Azure Integration Services. Copilot-assisted case summarisation reduced agent handling time by 35%, and real-time dashboards gave leadership visibility into service performance for the first time.

Financial Services: CRM modernisation and compliance-ready automation

A financial services firm was operating on an end-of-life CRM with no integration to core banking systems and limited auditability. BearingPoint replaced the legacy platform with Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service, implementing a governance-first Power Platform environment with DLP policies, ALM pipelines, and a Centre of Excellence framework. The result: a fully auditable, compliance-ready CRM environment with 60% reduction in manual reporting effort and a 360-degree client view available to all relationship managers.
