Context
Why Dynamics 365 matters for mid-market finance.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 covers two distinct platforms that Australian mid-market businesses run: Dynamics 365 Business Central in the upper-SMB and lower mid-market, and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations in the full mid-market. Ordron's work spans both. Businesses running Dynamics are almost always Microsoft-stack companies, so the automation story has to fit inside the broader Microsoft ecosystem: Power Automate, Power BI, Azure, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint. That is actually an advantage because Dynamics-native automation is strong. The problem we see most often is that every component is installed and licensed, and none of them behave like a system.
Dynamics 365 is the ledger. The hours live in the gaps between Dynamics 365 and everything else in your stack. The job is to close those gaps, not to replace Dynamics 365.
Where the hours go
The four signals that Dynamics 365 is costing you more than it should.
Our Dynamics 365 F&O rollout was supposed to reduce manual work. Eighteen months in, the team is doing more manual work, not less.
I know Power Automate can do half of this, but we don't have anyone internally who can build it properly.
Our Power BI reports don't reconcile to Dynamics because the data model underneath was never built.

Ordron-style automation typically captures $79,500 of that per year. On a typical $10,000 project, payback lands at roughly 7 weeks.
The approach
How Ordron automates on Dynamics 365.
On Dynamics, Ordron's job is to make the Microsoft stack actually behave like a stack. Power Automate gets used for what it's good at, Power BI gets a proper data model underneath it, Azure hosts the controlled data layer, and Microsoft 365 picks up the approval and document workflow. API-first wherever Dynamics exposes one, which is most places. RPA is reserved for legacy bolt-ons that never got migrated. The result is the Microsoft ecosystem the CFO was sold two years ago, behaving the way it was supposed to.
Database-first
Every transaction, contact and tracking category writes to a structured Azure-hosted database you own. The platform stays the ledger; your data is never vendor-locked.
Automation layer
OCR, coding models, matching rules and approval workflows run next to the platform, tuned to your chart of accounts and approval thresholds.
Control Panel
Your team logs into one interface to review exceptions, see throughput, and audit every automated action, with a named owner for every exception path.
