Here you can find a brief explanation of each partner asset of the End-to-End partner program for CEE CSP resellers.

Partner readiness and care

  • Acceleration Discovery Workshop: A one-hour long introductory workshop with a partner and 1ClickFactory specialists to assess a partner’s business ambition, identify potential business opportunities and agree on the cooperation schedule and next steps.
  • Partner Success Manager: A partner is assigned a professional Success (Account) Manager to support with any questions a partner might have along the way. A Partner Success Manager is a primary contact for a partner. According to a partner’s needs, the Partner Success Manager arranges the next activities (e.g. Strategy & Planning Workshop, monthly catch-up calls if applicable on a selected Partner Success Track), agrees on the schedule of engagement and will connect a partner to other experts in the organization if certain expertise is needed.
    • Strategy & Planning Workshop: During this individual workshop, 1ClickFactory professionals together with the key people of a partner’s organization review the current context, business options and challenges. 1ClickFactory facilitates the discussion on the business plan elements needed to succeed, which leads to overall participant alignment and the high-level plan.
    • Monthly guidance: 1ClickFactory provides a partner with monthly catch-up calls to discuss partner progress, to consult on the further steps or to discuss other related topics that a partner might have. The schedule of such engagement could be adjusted based on a partner’s needs.

Upgrades

  • Free upgrade analysis: With 1ClickFactory’s Upgrade Analyzer (for Microsoft Dynamics NAV/D365 Business Central solutions), a self-service online tool, a partner can easily simulate the upgrade price for all of the options that a customer might need.

  • Project Scope Verification Workshop: The partner and 1ClickFactory specialists will have an in-depth discussion of the project scope where they will investigate which modifications should be upgraded, eliminated or restructured to minimize touch on standard objects. As an outcome of the workshop, a partner receives a consultation and recommendations on how to optimize the scope of software services, as well as an adjusted scope, timeline and cost of a project.
    • Free Project Scope Verification Workshop if upgrading to SaaS projects and if a project is executed with 1ClickFactory: A partner eligible for this benefit will be refunded for the Project Scope Verification Workshop’s cost if upgrading to SaaS projects and if a project is executed with 1ClickFactory.
  • BestPath Assessment/Workshop: The BestPath Assessment is a fixed price technical solution assessment and analysis to evaluate the most beneficial path for the customer to move their existing solution to the new Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. This extensive solution evaluation gives a partner greater visibility into Dynamics AX transition project complexity and helps in making informed decisions as to which project tactic (upgrade, re-implementation or a mix) is the most beneficial for a customer to move to.
    • Free BestPath Assessment/Workshop plus 32 hours after-workshop presales consultancy: A partner eligible for this benefit receives a BestPath Assessment/Workshop at no cost if the assessed project is executed with 1ClickFactory (starting a project no later than within 9 months after the workshop delivery).
