3 REASONS NOT TO PRICE SHOP YOUR SOLUTION PROVIDER2 min read

There are a lot of situations where opting for the cheapest deal makes sense. Unfortunately, paying for services from a solution provider to implement or upgrade your business software is not usually one of them. Highly skilled and certified Microsoft resources for Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 are very specialized and experts in their field. They generally don’t discount their prices because they don’t need to. When you focus on price, you forget to consider other essential factors that can make or break a project. A cheaper price might allow you to save a few bucks in the short-term, but what happens if the trade-off was service standards? You saved money but now you’re stuck sinking even more into your new system trying to fix the mess that was made. Getting a bargain typically comes at a price. Would you rather trust your business system and valuable data to a company who has completed only a few projects unrelated to your industry or go with the more expensive partner who has satisfied client references and industry examples ready to share? Here are 3 of the biggest reasons why you shouldn’t risk relying on just price to evaluate your software partner:

1. Quality
2. Service Standards
3. Experience

Cheaper service usually means shortcuts in this industry. When you put price above any of the 3 reasons above, you are risking long-term repercussions that could be much more costly than the original fee. Think long-term and choose a partner who can do it right the first time. Check out our e-book for more helpful advice on how to evaluate a software solution partner that can seamlessly transition your business to Dynamics 365 for Operations.
