Migrate Glow Naturals to Dynamics 365 Business Central
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Migrate Glow Naturals to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Intermediate challenge in strategy. Developing strategies for real business problems, earn a blockcha...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can Glow Naturals move from fragmented spreadsheets and basic accounting onto an integrated ERP platform within four months and a fixed budget, without disrupting daily order fulfilment?
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate a real company's current workflows into clear as-is process maps and a redesigned to-be model in an ERP context.
- Derive concrete data migration rules by inspecting actual legacy data quality problems rather than assuming clean inputs.
- Configure core Dynamics 365 Business Central finance and inventory settings and justify each against a documented business need.
- Build a phased, risk-aware project plan that honours fixed budget, timeline, and uptime constraints.
- Communicate a migration recommendation persuasively to a non-technical executive audience.
