\nConfronted with aging ICT infrastructure and a growing population to service, the National Department of Health needed a fast, powerful CRM and operational solution with simple migration. It was essential that any system overhaul also boosted productivity while bringing the department in line with best practices and governance requirements.<\/p>\n
\nThe National Department of Health decided to collaborate with long-standing Microsoft partner, Mint Management Technologies, to take care of implementation of Dynamics 365 across the department. This process involved scoping risk and requirements ahead of migrating all 2,383 users. Training was then put in place to familiarise users with the new system before Dynamics finally replaced the legacy system.<\/p>\n
\nMoving to the new CRM boosted productivity and cut costs across the department. The unified infrastructure also connected various government departments for improved collaboration and visibility of processes. Running the latest version of Dynamics 365 even led to better infrastructure stability due to the ease of updating a cloud platform. The previous scoping and training stages also meant there was minimal disruption of operations during migration.<\/p>\n
