Evolutionary Business Solutions

Project

Evolutionary Business Solutions, Inc. (EBSi) cites “lack of a proven implementation methodology” as one of the top reasons setups fail. For Microsoft Dynamics™ GP and SL, Wizard X4 provides a reliable, proven solution and complements EBSi's philosophy of providing total client support and management.

Challenge

Develop Microsoft Dynamics GP setup guidance systems that practically fly themselves.

Client setups excel in a user-friendly, fail-safe environment that allows risk-free experimentation. Consultants thrive when able to concentrate on higher-value services and greater numbers of simultaneous installations.

Solution

Wizard X4 provides a reliable, consistent flight checklist and serves as a fail-safe teaching tool.

“Wizard X4 helps clients go through the checklist in the right order and provides relevant examples, all in a safe trial-and-error environment,” notes Chris Conway, principal of Evolutionary Business Solutions, Inc. (EBSi). “And, Wizard’s development specialists are readily available to help both the client and consultant — you don’t have to go through five levels of client service to get there. With clients getting both guided instruction and ready support from the Wizard suite, consultants can concentrate on their most profitable services and maximize productivity by handling more projects at one time.”
