What we cover

Microsoft Dynamics 365 support — the topic landscape.

Seven typical issues that reach us daily — from acute incidents to structural optimizations.

Functional defects & bugs

Plug-in pipelines that suddenly overwrite values after a release-wave update. Workflows that stop triggering in production but still work in test. Classic Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Apps and Business Central.

Performance & data-quality issues

List views that take 30 seconds. Duplicates from a migration. Data-model drift between test and production. We analyze what to repair and what to redesign.

License & permission issues

Users without access. Roles with too many rights. Team Member licenses that suddenly need full-user functions. We know the license matrix — and the right tool: our License Cost Calculator.

Power Platform extensions

Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI — as extensions to Microsoft Dynamics 365. We maintain existing extensions or build new ones without you having to hire specialists.

Interfaces to third-party systems

SAP, Oxaion, NAV, custom ERPs — anything that talks to Microsoft Dynamics 365 via API. We know master-data sync, order processing, exception handling. Live reference: our Intercompany Integration.

Update & release-wave updates

Microsoft release waves twice a year. Including customization compatibility check, test scripts, rollback plan. Automatically included in Application Care contracts.

Data migrations & cleansing

Migration from Salesforce, NAV, Excel, Access, other CRMs. Data cleansing with Power Query, KingswaySoft, or Skribbla. Validation reports that show what fits before go-live and what doesn't.

Customization takeover

You have a different partner — the cooperation has ended but the system keeps running. We take over maintenance. A code review in the initial conversation clarifies whether the takeover is realistic.

Our process

Four steps from issue to documented solution.

01

You report the case

By phone (+49 69 401 507 260), email (website@arades.de), or Calendly slot. We capture the issue, assign a case ID, and give you a first classification.

02

We analyze

First diagnosis within 24 hours. We look into the system (with your access), reproduce the error, check logs, identify the root cause. You receive a written assessment: what it is, what it costs, how long it takes.

03

We solve — or escalate

With your approval we fix the issue. If it sits with Microsoft: we open a ticket, communicate with the Microsoft engineers, and keep you informed. You don't have to escalate yourself.

04

We document

What we changed, why, with what consequences. So the same error doesn't happen twice — and so your next partner (or you yourself) can understand the system.

Qualification

Why our Microsoft Dynamics 365 support works.

We have done Microsoft Dynamics 365 since the CRM 3.0 era. That means we know the pitfalls, the archived limitations, the undocumented behaviors of the platform. Much of this isn't written down anywhere — we know it from lived projects.

  • 20+ years of Microsoft practice (CRM 3.0 → Dynamics 365)
  • Microsoft Partner
  • Established escalation paths to Microsoft support
  • Experienced practitioners for Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Field Service and Power Platform
  • Own productized solutions on Microsoft Dynamics 365
  • Application Care contracts active with several mid-market clients

Response time

Frequently asked questions

What clients want to know before the initial conversation.

How fast do you respond to a support request?

Within 4 hours during business hours (8 AM – 6 PM CET). A first diagnosis is provided within 24 hours, often much sooner.

What does an hour of Microsoft Dynamics 365 support cost?

Pay-per-hour from €180 net per hour, no contract commitment. Application Care contract from €720 net per month for 4 guaranteed hours with priority handling.

Can you also support customizations done by other partners?

Yes. We take over the maintenance of existing customizations — from plug-ins to Power Platform extensions. A free code review in the initial conversation clarifies whether the takeover is realistic.

Do you take over Microsoft tickets on escalation?

Yes. As a Microsoft Partner we have direct escalation paths to Microsoft support. We open tickets on your behalf, communicate with the Microsoft engineers, and document progress for you.

Which Microsoft Dynamics 365 modules do you cover in support?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Project Operations, Customer Insights Journeys (Customer Engagement Apps), and secondarily Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (SMB ERP). For the ERP apps Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, and Human Resources we refer to specialized F&O partners from our network — see also our D365 ERP knowledge area.

Do you offer 24/7 support?

Standard support 8 AM – 6 PM CET. 24/7 support only with the Strategic Care contract and a dedicated on-call team — specifically for business-critical implementations with high downtime risk.

What sets Application Care apart from pay-per-hour?

Application Care is a monthly service contract with a guaranteed hour quota (from 4 h/month) and priority handling. Pay-per-hour is more flexible but without response guarantee. For business-critical systems we generally recommend Application Care.

Accompanying services

What typically runs alongside this engineering work.

Engineering projects rarely stand alone — license logic, architecture clarification, quality gates, knowledge transfer, and follow-up operations usually run in parallel. Here are the most common accompanying services we add via Discovery Spike, sprint fixed price, or Application Care contracts.

Before · Architecture

Advisory & Architecture

Before implementation begins: tenant structure, data model, security concept, integration mapping. The result is an architecture document any engineering team can build on — including one other than us.

Before · CSP

License Advisory & CSP

Which license bundles for which users, which add-on SKUs are required, where you are over- or under-licensed. Sourced as a Microsoft Licensing Partner — with the option to use CSP purely as control without margin maximization.

Read more →

During · Quality gate

Project Assurance

An independent second opinion during a running implementation project — whether we run it ourselves or another partner does. CMMI-based quality gates, risk reviews, fixed price per gate.

During · Adoption

Training & learning program

Not the classic two-day workshop that's forgotten a week later — but a dynamic learning program over 4–6 weeks with initial training, application phases, and follow-up sessions. Training matrix across roles and topics.

After · Operations

Application Care

After go-live: a predictable Application Care contract with a monthly flat fee, SLA-based. Includes releases, hotfixes, enhancements, tenant hardening — and continuous guidance rather than ticket-only response.

After · Knowledge

Knowledge Recovery

When the original developers are gone, the predecessor partner is no longer reachable, or documentation is outdated — reverse engineering of the existing solution with a documented result: code map, data model, customization inventory.
