In this Community Summit North America 2022 News Desk, Laura Pfohl, Vice President, Delivery and Client Engagement, Sonata Software, and Aaron Back, VP/Principal Analyst, Acceleration Economy and Dynamic Communities, discuss how Sonata Software assists its customers in modernizing.
Highlights
00:28 – Sonata Software is a modernization company that focuses on modernizing and migrating existing platforms. The company deploys Dynamics 365 F&O and all of the applications within it.
02:40 – Pfohl’s role in the organization is centered around making clients feel better about migrating to a new product or application.
05:04 – Considering how the pandemic changed the need for demand, what type of shift has Pfohl seen in her conversations about modernizing with customers?
05:10 – The pandemic prompted the need to work remotely, so Pfohl has found that a large process was getting entire organizations connected to their systems remotely. The cloud has made this process much simpler.
06:48 – Migrating systems unlocks potential and opportunities that likely were unavailable before – Pfohl is responsible for the journey towards this discovery.
07:44 – A benefit of Sonata Software’s assessment is that leaders can identify the benefits and opportunities of blending and integrating various Microsoft products. Having an assessment – or a solid plan in action – should include a reanalysis of business processes within an organization.
10:29 – Pfohl says she does not anticipate a lot of changes to the core Microsoft modules, but rather, in new applications.
