Total cost of implementation of Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi all

I have some questions about total price for Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

If a company decides to use Dynamics 365, what kind of cost will it incur? and How much will it cost in generally?

Only licensing or subscription fees are considered, excluding service fees for MS partners.

Of course, it is assumed that it is the SaaS version.  Assume approximately 60 users and medium to high performance.

Please answer 

Thank you.

    If all 60 users must be Full users and you don't need licenses for anything else, then the math is trivial (the price per Full user can be found here).

    But it's not clear whether all users must be Full and what other products and add-ons (e.g. extra database space) you might need.

    Also note that the cost of implementation is usually much higher than the price of licenses.

    In addition to the user licenses, you usually need more environments than what are included in the licenses. Only if you use the application without any customizations is it feasible to not need more environments.

    - Each developer needs one development system

    - Each developer needs a Visual Studio subscription / license

    - If you want to use automatic testing, you might need additional Visual Studio or Azure DevOps licenses / addons

    - One build system is needed - but with a recent new feature you can use "build as a service" in Azure DevOps. But even that costs something.

    - You might need additional test systems (for example if you want to have a system where you can drop a copy of the prod database at any time to troubleshoot some urgent issue)

    - You might need a (usually temporary) performance test system

    - You might need an integration platform such as Logic Apps to integrate between D365FO and other systems

    - You might want to export data to external database (Data Lake, Azure SQL) for reporting / analysis purposes

    Since it's a broad topic, perhaps it's good to discuss it with your partner since they can help you evaluate what additional components you might need.

    Thank you for kindly answer.

    How about Azure subscription fee. Is it included in D365 F&O license?

    An Azure subscription doesn't cost anything. You only pay for resources (such as virtual machines) that you set up and run in that subscription.

    The D365FO environments that are included in the licenses (Sandbox Tier1, Sandbox Tier2, Prod) are managed by Microsoft, and they are not in your Azure subscription. The environments are included in the license cost.

    For additional environments, you can either deploy "onebox" systems in your Azure subscription for dev/test purposes, or purchase "Add-on" environments from Microsoft. If you deploy to your own Azure subscription, you pay the cost of the VMs but there's not additional cost. If you buy Add-ons, they are hosted by MS and the license cost is the only cost that you have.

    As usual, the answer is "it depends". You don't have to worry about Azure resources for hosting your production environment - that's included in F&O license. But you may need other things in Azure - development environments, DevOps features, Data Lake, Logic Apps, API Management and who knows what else.
