Is your Dynamics 365 testing strategy ready for what’s next? With RSAT being retired, now’s a good time to consider how testing fits into your wider Dynamics 365 roadmap. What should replace your current approach? Where could greater automation help? And how can you make the transition without compromising release quality or control? Join @Kasper Rytter Beyer for this webinar to understand what RSAT retirement means for Dynamics 365 customers, how it affects existing testing practices and the options to consider for what comes next.

More cloud capacity doesn’t always mean more business value. You could be paying for unused licences, excess capacity or thousands of small transactions that add up over time. Effective cloud cost optimisation starts with understanding what you’re using, what you’re paying for and whether you still need it. Explore the key areas driving your cloud costs and where you can reduce unnecessary spend.

Managed services can do more than keep business-critical systems running. With the right operating model, they can help you control costs, reduce risk and create capacity for continuous improvement. Move beyond reactive IT operations and build a more stable, adaptable digital platform that supports day-to-day performance while creating room for innovation.

Strong standards need reliable technology to back them up. @RICS — a global professional body with 150+ years of setting international standards in real estate, construction and infrastructure — needed exactly that when instability in its Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance platform started impacting operations. Partnering with Columbus for application management services, RICS stabilised its platform, restored confidence across finance and digital teams, and hit 99.99% system availability. With the day-to-day under control, they're now free to focus on what's next.

Keeping business-critical applications running shouldn’t consume your IT team’s capacity. The more time spent on day-to-day operations, the less there is for improvement and innovation. Modern managed services can reduce that operational burden, giving your team more room to improve systems continuously and get more value from your existing technology investments.

Being recognised by Microsoft as a Support services partner reflects how we work with digital operations every day. We were one of the first five AI Business Applications partners worldwide to receive the Solution Support designation, before it became broadly available. This reinforces our high standard in managed services. We see operations as an opportunity, not just a cost. We help organisations reduce operational overhead through automation, proactive monitoring and lean delivery, freeing up budget and capacity for continuous improvement and innovation that support business growth.
