High Risk:
Partner Owns You
Your partner has more control over your D365 system than you do. You’re not just dependent – you’re helpless. They know it, you know it, and it shows in every invoice. This is unsustainable financially and operationally. You need an intervention, not an evolution.
Here are some options:
1. Emergency assessment:
Immediately engage 2-3 senior independent D365 contractors to assess your environment and create a “Partner Independence Plan” with 30, 60, and 90-day milestones.
2. Stop the bleeding:
Freeze all non-critical partner work immediately. Every dollar you spend deepens the dependency. Redirect that budget to building internal capabilities with internal resources.
Independent D365 contractors aren’t just cost-effective alternatives – they’re your insurance policy against partner monopoly. The best companies use a hybrid model: partners for some things, contractors for others, and internal capability for the rest.
