Preface

Finding the right app for your business needs


After the business requirements are identified and the fit-gap analysis is done, one important decision the project team has to make is whether to build the required customizations or buy an solution to bridge the solution gap. During the fit-gap analysis, you can use the LCS BPM libraries and add your requirements associated with the business process. You can specify whether the requirement is a fit or gap, and you can also specify a high-level estimation. You can then use the LCS BPM library to view all the processes and gaps to identify the areas that require ISV solutions.   

There are a great many ISV solutions available in the Dynamics 365 ecosystem that can help you bridge the gap between the standard product and the required industry-specific functionality. Usually, if someone already has a solution that has been used by multiple customers, it will be less risky than developing your own solution--you don't want to reinvent the wheel.
