Summary


In this chapter, we went over the key areas of the post go-live phase, like managing the initial stabilization as you fly into the storm and proactively preparing for what's coming your way, leading from stabilization to business transformation.

This is the phase of the project when you learn the most about Dynamics AX implementation. How you overcome those challenges makes a successful implementation. While some learnings are expensive and could be painful for the business, ensuring that those are not repeated is important.

The real ROI from the Dynamics AX investments would usually start as part of the business transformation phase. Stopping the project after the initial go-live and stabilization would not give you the true ROI on your investments.
