Dynamics 365 (D365) CRM and Business Central Partner in Armenia: CRM Consulting, ERP and the Power Platform from Senior Consultants and Developers in Yerevan
Choosing a Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Business Central partner in Armenia comes down to a few checks. Ask who built and maintains the Armenian localization, and whether it runs as extensions on the international (W1) version. Ask to see VAT returns, statutory statements and State Revenue Committee e-invoicing working in a test company on your own data. Check whether the same team handles the 1C migration, whether CRM and ERP sit in one team, whether delivery runs in Armenian and Russian in your time zone, who actually does the work, and who owns the AL source. Solzet, headquartered in Yerevan, delivers Customer Engagement, Business Central, Finance and Operations, Power Platform and custom CRM, and designs the integration between them.
Solzet is a Dynamics 365 consultancy headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia (GMT+4), whose senior consultants and full-stack developers bring 8+ years of CRM delivery experience. It delivers Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), the Power Platform and custom CRM as implementation, project rescue, ongoing development, or white-label subcontracting for Microsoft partners. UK, German, Dutch and US clients are served remotely, with on-site delivery in Yerevan for Armenian enterprise and government. Languages: English, Armenian, Russian. A common first job, managers seeing only their own clients while the head sees everything, is set up with security roles, teams and hierarchy security. Contact: contact@solzet.com.
CRM consulting, end to end, from the people who build what they scope. Solzet scopes, implements, customizes, migrates, rescues, and then supports Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and the Power Platform, with senior-only consultants and developers, working day overlap, and no account layer between you and the build. On the ERP side, the same team implements Business Central, including the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations. The delivery hub is Yerevan, Armenia, and the clients are organizations across Armenia and the Caucasus region together with companies and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US.
Still comparing suppliers? The Dynamics 365 partner directory for Armenia and the Caucasus below lists every kind of provider open to a buyer in this region, us included, set out by delivery style, regional expertise, and crisis response rather than by the corporate listings a generic Microsoft directory returns.
Solzet is a Dynamics 365 consultancy in Yerevan, Armenia, working on both sides of the Microsoft business stack, CRM and ERP. We recommend the right solution: Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement, Business Central or Finance and Operations), Power Platform, or a custom-built CRM for organizations that need full control without Microsoft licensing. CRM consulting end to end means discovery and scoping, implementation of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (D365 CE), customization, migration off spreadsheets or a legacy system, rescue of a stalled D365 project, training, and support after go live. D365 is the everyday shorthand for Dynamics 365, so a search for CRM consulting in Armenia and a search for a D365 partner land on the same senior team.
The apps we set up are Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Customer Insights (the app that replaced Dynamics 365 Marketing), all on Dataverse, and the same senior people who advise you also build the Power Apps, Power Automate flows, plug-ins, and PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls that standard configuration does not cover. On the ERP side we implement Business Central, including the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations. Armenia is where that work is done, not the limit of who it is for: everything is delivered from our Yerevan hub by senior consultants and developers, which is how organizations across Armenia and the Caucasus, and clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US, get four things together: Western standard engineering, senior engineers on every engagement, GMT+4 overlap with the European working day, and a team that works the way theirs already does.
Being a local partner means the people who scope your project are the people who build it, in your time zone and reachable in person or over Teams without a language or hours barrier. We work on straightforward B2B contracts, either directly for the organization using Dynamics 365 or on a white-label basis for another Microsoft partner. Wherever you are in the Caucasus, Europe, or the US, the delivery team is the same Yerevan-based engineers.
How do you choose a Business Central partner in Armenia, and what should you check?
Business Central is Microsoft's ERP for small and mid-sized organizations. In Armenia the partner matters more than usual, because Microsoft lists Armenia on the W1 base app with the localization provided by partners. These are the questions to put to any supplier you shortlist, us included.
Who built the Armenian localization, who maintains it, and does it run as extensions on W1?
Microsoft makes Business Central online available in Armenia on the international (W1) base app and leaves the Armenian localization to partners, so the localization you are offered is always somebody's own work. Ask who wrote it, who updates it when Armenian requirements change and when Microsoft ships a Business Central update, and whether it is built as AL extensions on top of W1 rather than as changes to Microsoft code. Extensions keep the base app untouched, so Microsoft updates keep arriving.
Can they show VAT returns, statutory statements and SRC e-invoicing working in a test company on your own data?
A slide is not evidence. Ask for a test company loaded with a sample of your own customers, vendors, items and a month of transactions, then watch the VAT return, the statutory financial statements, an Armenian-language invoice and, where your company is obliged to use it, the State Revenue Committee e-invoicing flow run from those entries. What your chief accountant sees there is what they will work with after go-live.
Does the same team do the 1C migration?
Most Armenian companies moving to Business Central are leaving 1C. The chart of accounts is redesigned, analytics move from accounts onto entries, opening balances and open items are migrated, and 1C stays read-only for history. If one firm builds the localization and another moves the data, the mapping between them becomes your problem. Ask who designs the chart of accounts mapping and who signs off the reconciliation of the parallel run.
Do CRM and ERP sit in one team?
If sales or service runs on Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, or will, Business Central connects to it through the Dataverse connection and virtual tables. Ask whether the same team designs the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them, or whether the integration is a handover between two suppliers who each own one side of it.
Is delivery in Armenian and Russian, in your time zone?
Accountants, warehouse staff and managers should be trained and supported in the language they work in. Ask whether workshops, training and support run in Armenian and Russian, whether the consultants work in GMT+4, and whether on-site sessions in Yerevan are part of the plan when being in the room matters.
Who actually does the work?
Ask for the people who will configure Business Central, write the AL extensions and run the data migration, and whether they are the people in the scoping meetings. A proposal should say plainly whether any part of the delivery is passed to another firm or to individual contractors.
Who owns the AL source?
Ask who owns the source code of the extensions built for your company, where the repository lives, and on what terms you keep using the localization if you ever change partner. Those answers belong in the contract before work starts, not in a conversation at the end.
What Solzet delivers
We recommend the right solution: Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement, Business Central or Finance and Operations), Power Platform, or a custom-built CRM. One team for CRM, ERP and the integration between them. Solzet is headquartered in Yerevan and builds the Business Central Armenian localization itself, as AL extensions on W1: AMD as the local currency, an Armenian chart of accounts, Armenian tax and statutory reporting, Armenian-language documents, and State Revenue Committee e-invoicing where applicable. Payroll is not part of it. The same team runs the move from 1C to Business Central, carries out the Business Central online implementation and its AL extensions, and connects Business Central to Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement through the Dataverse connection and virtual tables. Workshops, training and support run in Armenian, Russian or English, in GMT+4, by Solzet's own senior consultants and developers, and ownership of the AL source built for you is written into the SOW before work starts.

How do you set up Dynamics 365 so managers see only their own clients and the head sees everything?
It is the first job most local buyers ask for, and it is a configuration rather than a project. The default answer is owner-based security with hierarchy security, not a new business unit for every department. Here is the setup we apply, in the order we apply it, including how to make the change in a live system without anyone losing access to records they need.
- Start from what exists
- Before changing anything, record what each persona sees today: a named rep, a sales manager and the head of sales, with the number of accounts, contacts, opportunities and cases each can open. Environments where everybody sees everything were often built on a copy of a standard security role with Organization-level read on accounts and contacts, so the fix is usually a role change rather than a new structure.
- Reps see their own clients
- A sales role with User-level read, write, append and append to on accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities and their activities, plus read access to reference data such as products and price lists. Each client is owned by its rep, so the Owner field becomes the rule, and a client handed to a colleague is reassigned rather than shared.
- Managers see their team
- Hierarchy security on the manager hierarchy: enable hierarchy modelling, include the client tables, set a depth that matches the org chart, and fill in the Manager field on every user. A direct manager can then read and edit records owned by their reports, and managers further up the chain can read them. Where a manager sits in a different business unit from the team, use the position hierarchy instead.
- The head sees everything
- Give the head of sales, and anyone else who must see the whole book, a role with Organization-level read on the client tables, plus Organization-level write and assign only if they redistribute clients. That is explicit and easy to audit, rather than depending on the hierarchy reaching far enough.
- Shared desks and leavers
- A pool worked by several people, such as a key account desk or a service queue, is owned by an owner team rather than by one person, so access does not change when somebody joins or leaves. When a rep leaves, their clients are reassigned in one logged batch instead of staying on a disabled user.
- Business units only for real partitions
- Add business units only when branches or legal entities must not see each other at all. Using them to mirror departments turns every reorganisation into a security change, and moving a user between business units removes their security roles by default.
- Without breaking what already works
- Copy the existing role instead of editing it in place, rehearse the change in a sandbox copy of production, add the new access before removing the old, check the application users that integrations and flows run under, and retest each persona with a real user after every step. Hierarchy depth and modernized business unit settings vary by environment, so check current Microsoft documentation and your own environment before the first change.
The full design rule, the team types, column security and the step by step change order with its test plan are in our guide to the Dynamics 365 security model: business units, teams and access. The same Yerevan team then sets up Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service around that model, and if the environment was left half built by a previous supplier, project rescue and takeover is the better starting point.
Партнёр по Microsoft Dynamics 365 в Армении: с каких задач обычно начинают местные компании?
Solzet - консалтинговая компания из Еревана, которая более 8 лет внедряет CRM. Мы работаем с Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), Power Platform и заказными CRM-системами: внедрение с нуля, спасение проблемных проектов, дальнейшая разработка и поддержка, а также работа в режиме white-label для других партнёров Microsoft. Помимо CRM, мы также внедряем Dynamics 365 Business Central, включая армянскую локализацию Business Central, и Finance and Operations. Мы работаем на русском, армянском и английском языках, в часовом поясе GMT+4, и в проектах участвуют только старшие специалисты: те же люди, которые оценивают задачу, потом её и выполняют.
Менеджеры видят только своих клиентов, руководитель видит всех
Это самая частая первая задача, и решается она не созданием новых бизнес-подразделений. Каждый клиент закрепляется за ответственным менеджером (поле «Ответственный», Owner). Роль менеджера получает доступ уровня «Пользователь» (User) к организациям, контактам, интересам и возможным сделкам. Руководители отделов видят записи своих подчинённых через безопасность иерархии по полю «Руководитель» (Manager): непосредственный руководитель может их читать и редактировать, а вышестоящие руководители могут их только читать. Руководителю продаж назначается отдельная роль с правом чтения на уровне всей организации (Organization). Общий пул клиентов закрепляется за рабочей группой-владельцем (owner team), а бизнес-подразделения нужны только тогда, когда филиалы или юридические лица не должны видеть данные друг друга.
Как изменить модель доступа, не сломав работающую систему
Сначала фиксируем, что сейчас видит каждый тип пользователя. Затем копируем существующую роль, а не правим её на месте, проверяем изменения в песочнице на копии рабочей среды, сначала добавляем новый доступ и только потом убираем старый, проверяем учётные записи, под которыми работают интеграции и потоки Power Automate, и после каждого шага проверяем доступ вместе с реальными пользователями. Параметры иерархии зависят от конкретной среды, поэтому перед изменениями сверяемся с актуальной документацией Microsoft.
Настройка Dynamics 365 Sales и Customer Service
Для отдела продаж: модель данных клиентов и сделок, воронка и бизнес-процессы, представления и панели мониторинга, импорт клиентской базы из Excel или старой системы. Для службы поддержки: обращения, очереди, правила маршрутизации, соглашения об уровне обслуживания (SLA) и база знаний. Обе части работают с одной карточкой клиента в Dataverse, поэтому продажи и поддержка видят одну и ту же историю. Интерфейс Dynamics 365 можно включить на русском языке для каждого пользователя, а обучение мы проводим на русском или армянском.
Спасение проекта, начатого другим подрядчиком
Если внедрение остановилось, подрядчик ушёл или система запущена, но ею никто не пользуется, мы начинаем с технического аудита: что настроено, какие плагины и потоки работают, в каком состоянии данные и модель безопасности. Затем говорим прямо, что стоит сохранить, а что проще переделать, и берём проект на себя вместе с документацией и исходным кодом.

What is CRM consulting, and what does a CRM consultancy actually do?
Start here if you are shopping for CRM consulting rather than for a country. This is the discipline itself: what the work is, who does it, who buys it, and what engaging someone costs. Where we sit in it is the last row, and the rest of the page is the detail behind that row.
- What CRM consulting is
- The work of turning a business problem into a customer system people actually use. A CRM consultancy audits how you win and keep customers today, decides what the system has to do and what it should not try to do, designs the data model and the processes that sit on it, implements and customizes the platform, moves your existing data across, trains the people who will live in it, and keeps it working as the business changes. Buying the licences is not the project. The consulting and the build are.
- What a CRM consultant does
- Two jobs, usually sold as one. The advisory half is requirements, process design, the data model, the phasing, and the honest calls about where standard configuration is enough and where custom code is genuinely warranted. The delivery half is configuring the apps, writing the plug-ins, custom API, and PCF controls that configuration cannot express, building the integrations, and running the releases. On our engagements the same senior person does both, which removes the handover where most of the context is normally lost.
- Who CRM consulting is for
- Mid-market organizations putting in a first CRM to replace spreadsheets and a shared mailbox, teams replacing a legacy or bespoke system nobody can extend any more, companies moving off another CRM platform onto Microsoft, and anyone whose CRM is live and paid for but unused because it was implemented badly. We also work behind other Microsoft partners on a white-label basis, where their client keeps their brand and gets our engineering.
- The platforms we consult on
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, which is the Microsoft CRM: Sales for pipeline and accounts, Customer Service for cases and SLAs, Field Service for scheduling and mobile engineers, and Customer Insights for marketing journeys, all sharing one Dataverse customer record and extended with the Power Platform. On the ERP side we implement Business Central and Finance and Operations, connected to that same customer record. Where Microsoft licensing is beyond your budget or you need full ownership of the platform, we also build custom CRM systems on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and .NET, so the recommendation follows your requirement rather than the product we happen to sell.
- What it costs to engage a CRM consultancy
- Two budgets, worth keeping separate. Microsoft licences are bought per user per month directly from Microsoft at published list prices that are identical anywhere in the world. The consulting and the build is the part that varies with scope, quoted on time and materials or fixed price per milestone after a scoping conversation rather than before one. Every day on it is senior, certified engineering.
- How Solzet delivers it
- Senior, Microsoft-certified engineers, typically two or three per engagement, working from one hub in Yerevan, Armenia, in GMT+4, in English, Armenian, or Russian. No junior bench underneath and no account layer in between. Armenia is where the work is done rather than the limit of who it is for: the same team delivers for organizations across the Caucasus and for clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US.
What CRM consulting costs, and what actually drives the number
No consultancy can price a CRM project from a web page, and one that quotes you before looking at your process has moved the scope risk onto you. What can be said in advance is which decisions move the number, so you can tell an expensive scope from an expensive supplier when you compare two proposals.
| What drives the cost | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| How many apps are in scope | One team on Dynamics 365 Sales is a different project from sales, service, and field operations sharing one customer record. The number of apps drives configuration, testing, and training far more than the number of users does. |
| Configuration against custom development | What the platform does out of the box is the cheap part. Plug-ins, custom API, PCF controls, and integrations are where the engineering days go, so the first thing worth deciding is which requirements genuinely need them and which are a preference that would cost a fortnight. |
| How much data has to move | Importing a clean 5,000 row contact list is a task. Migrating years of history out of a legacy system is a workstream with its own mapping, testing, and reconciliation: our published European bank engagement moved more than 200,000 historical records off a 15-year-old on-premises CRM. |
| What it has to talk to | Every system that exchanges data with the CRM brings its own authentication, field mapping, retries, and error handling. Two integrations is not twice the cost of one, and ten is not ten times, but this is the line that most often turns a three month project into a five month one. |
| Adoption, not just delivery | Training, hypercare in the weeks after go live, and the second round of changes that real usage exposes. This is the line buyers cut first to hit a number, and a system nobody uses is the thing we are most often asked to rescue afterwards. |
| The commercial basis you pick | Time and materials keeps the scope flexible and suits work where the answer is still being discovered. Fixed price per milestone buys budget certainty and needs the scope pinned down first, which is what the discovery phase is for. We quote either, and the basis is visible before you commit. |
For a sense of the scale these engagements run at, our four published case studies each took three to five months with a team of two or three senior consultants, including a CRM modernization for a European bank. If you want to go straight to a service rather than to the reasoning: Dynamics 365 consulting and CRM development covers the engagement models, CRM project rescue and takeover covers an implementation that has already gone wrong, and white-label CRM consulting for Microsoft partners covers the work we deliver behind another Microsoft partner and their brand.
What is the short answer on CRM consulting in Armenia?
If you are looking for a CRM in Armenia and a consultancy that can actually put one in, this is the whole answer before the detail starts. The rest of the page is the reasoning behind it.
- What CRM consulting in Armenia covers
- Everything between the decision and a system people actually use, from one Yerevan team: discovery and requirements, the phased scope, implementation and customization of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, custom development where configuration runs out, data migration, training, and support after go live. There is no handover between the people who advise and the people who build, because they are the same people.
- The CRM we implement in Armenia
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, which is the Microsoft CRM: Sales for pipeline and accounts, Customer Service for cases and SLAs, Field Service for scheduling and mobile engineers, and Customer Insights for marketing journeys, all sharing one Dataverse customer record. For organizations that cannot or will not adopt Microsoft licensing, we build a custom CRM instead, and we tell you which fits during scoping. When the CRM needs an ERP beside it, we implement Business Central with the Business Central Armenian localization.
- Who we implement CRM for
- Mid-market organizations in Yerevan and across Armenia, clients in the wider Caucasus region, and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US who need the engineering delivered under their own brand. A first CRM replacing spreadsheets, a replacement for a legacy or bespoke system, a move from another CRM platform, or a rescue of one that was implemented badly.
- What a CRM project in Armenia costs
- Two separate things. Microsoft licences are bought per user per month from Microsoft at published list prices, identical anywhere in the world. The implementation is the part that varies, and it is done by senior, certified engineers with no junior bench underneath. We quote time and materials or fixed price per milestone after a scoping conversation.
- How long a CRM implementation takes
- Our four published engagements ran three to five months with teams of two to three senior consultants, and a mid-market CRM build in the region usually sits in that range. A tightly scoped first phase covering one team and one process can go live sooner, with the rest added in stages rather than in one cutover.
- Who you actually work with
- Senior Microsoft-certified engineers based in Yerevan, in GMT+4, working in English, Armenian, or Russian. The people who scope your CRM are the people who configure, develop, and support it. One hub, no offshore back office behind it, and no account layer in between.
- Where your CRM data lives
- Dynamics 365 runs in Microsoft datacentres and the region is fixed when the Dataverse environment is created. There is no Microsoft datacentre in Armenia, so organizations here normally run in a European region, which also keeps a GDPR-compliant DPA straightforward for anyone trading into the EU. We advise on the choice before the environment is set up, because changing it afterwards is a support-led migration rather than a setting you flip.
Who builds it, and who are our CRM developers and Dynamics 365 developers in Armenia?
CRM consulting and CRM development are usually bought from two different suppliers, and the handover between them is where projects lose weeks. Here they are the same people. If you arrived looking for a CRM developer or a Dynamics 365 developer in Armenia, this is what the Yerevan team actually builds, beyond what configuration on its own can produce.
- Who the developers are
- Senior, Microsoft-certified engineers who live and work in Yerevan, in GMT+4, working in English, Armenian, or Russian. A typical project team is two to three of them. There is no junior bench underneath and no account layer in between, so the person who designs your CRM is the person who writes the code and the person who supports it afterwards.
- Dataverse and the data model
- The layer underneath the CRM: tables, relationships, alternate keys, and choice columns, plus the business rules, security roles, and column level security that decide who can see which record. It is designed once at the start rather than reworked after user acceptance testing, which is where a badly built CRM usually goes wrong first.
- Server side code
- Plug-ins and custom API registered against the Dataverse event pipeline for validation, pricing and discount rules, and approval logic that has to run whether a record arrives from a form, from an integration, or from a bulk import.
- PCF controls
- PowerApps Component Framework controls written in TypeScript and React, for the cases where a standard control cannot express what users need. Our published UK partner engagement was eight of them, delivered white-label. Custom PCF development is the piece other Microsoft partners most often subcontract to us rather than staffing internally.
- Power Platform development
- Canvas and model-driven Power Apps, Power Automate cloud and desktop flows, Power Pages portals, and Dataverse solutions, built either on top of a Dynamics 365 implementation or standing on their own.
- Integration
- Moving data in and out through the Dataverse Web API, custom connectors, and Power Automate, with authentication, field mapping, retries, and error handling that fails into a path somebody watches rather than failing quietly.
- Environments and releases
- Managed solutions and deployment pipelines across development, test, and production, source control in your own Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira, and the two Microsoft release waves a year tested before they land rather than after. This is the part that decides whether the build is still cheap to change a year later.
- Certifications on the team
- PL-200, PL-400 (the certification Microsoft itself names Power Platform Developer), and PL-600 for the Power Platform, together with MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240 for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
If what you need is developer capacity rather than a full consulting engagement, whether that is a dedicated developer inside your own team, a fixed scope build, managed support on an environment somebody else built, or white-label work behind your brand, the page on how to hire a Dynamics 365 developer or CRM developer in Armenia sets out the engagement models and what starting looks like, and Power Platform development and support in Armenia covers the Power Apps, Power Automate, and PCF side in its own right.
What does D365 mean, and what does a D365 partner in Armenia do?
If you arrived here searching for D365 in Armenia rather than for a CRM, this is the vocabulary before the detail starts. D365 is the trade shorthand for Microsoft Dynamics 365, and we deliver both halves of it from Yerevan, the CRM side and the ERP side, so the two searches lead to the same place.
- What D365 stands for
- D365 is the everyday shorthand for Microsoft Dynamics 365, the Microsoft family of business applications. Consultants, job adverts, and internal project names use the short form constantly, while Microsoft itself writes it out in full. They mean the same product.
- The D365 apps we deliver
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement: D365 Sales, D365 Customer Service, D365 Field Service, and D365 Customer Insights (the app that replaced Dynamics 365 Marketing), all on the shared Dataverse data model. This is the CRM half of the range, and Solzet delivers the ERP half too.
- The ERP half of D365
- Dynamics 365 Business Central for small and mid-sized organizations, and Finance and Operations (Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce and Project Operations) for larger and more complex ones. Solzet implements both, builds AL and X++ extensions, migrates companies from Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Dynamics AX and 1C, and delivers the Business Central Armenian localization. One team for CRM, ERP and the integration between them.
- What a D365 partner in Armenia does
- Scopes the requirement, configures and extends the apps, migrates your existing data, builds the integrations and custom code the standard product does not cover, trains your people, and supports the system after go live. Licences you buy from Microsoft; the implementation is the part a partner delivers.
- Where the D365 work is done
- Yerevan, Armenia, in GMT+4, by senior consultants and developers. One hub, no offshore back office behind it, for clients in Armenia and the Caucasus and for Microsoft partners in Europe and the US.
- D365 licences and cost
- Dynamics 365 licences are bought per user per month directly from Microsoft at published list prices, identical anywhere in the world. What varies by partner is the implementation: who builds it, how senior they are, and whether they are still there for support.
Can Business Central run Armenian accounting, tax and reporting?
Yes. Solzet delivers the Business Central Armenian localization: AMD as the local currency, Armenian tax and statutory reporting, an Armenian chart of accounts, Armenian-language documents, and e-invoicing integration with the State Revenue Committee where applicable. Solzet builds it as extensions on the international (W1) version of Dynamics 365 Business Central, which is available in Armenia.
Microsoft does not ship an Armenian version of Business Central; the local layer is left to partners, and that layer is the part we build and maintain. It suits Armenian companies moving off 1C or spreadsheets, and groups that want their Armenian entity on the same system as the rest of the business. Because the same team implements Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, the CRM and the ledger can share customers, orders and invoices instead of being reconciled by hand.
The full scope is on the Business Central Armenian localization page, and the implementation itself on our Dynamics 365 Business Central page.
Choosing a CRM in Armenia: which four options are actually on the table?
Most organizations looking for a CRM in Armenia are choosing between four things, not between fifty products. Here is an honest read on each, including where the alternatives beat the one we implement.
| The option | Where it wins | Where it runs out |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets and a shared mailbox | Free, familiar, and genuinely enough for a handful of people tracking a short list of customers. | No history you can trust, no reporting worth the name, and the pipeline lives in whichever version of the file someone opened last. This is what most CRM projects in Armenia are replacing. |
| A custom-built CRM | Fits the process exactly, carries no per-user licence, and the organization owns the source code, the data model, and the hosting. The right answer when Microsoft licensing does not fit the budget or full control of the platform is a requirement, including for public sector bodies that must host in-country. | It has to be engineered, documented, and supported by a team rather than by one developer, or the knowledge leaves with that person. Solzet builds custom CRMs on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and .NET with the handover and support built in from the start. |
| A standalone SaaS CRM | Fast to switch on and priced per seat, which suits a sales team that needs a pipeline and little else. Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho all do this well. | Deep customization, service and field operations, and integration with an existing Microsoft estate get expensive quickly, and finding local implementation help in Armenia for these platforms is harder than it looks. |
| Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement | The Microsoft CRM. Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Customer Insights on one Dataverse data model, inside the Microsoft 365 and Teams environment most organizations already pay for, extensible with Power Apps, Power Automate, and custom code, with a supported upgrade path. | It rewards being implemented properly. Configured badly it is an expensive contact list, which is why the partner you pick matters more than the licence you buy. |
We recommend the right solution, whether that is Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, or a custom-built CRM, and because we deliver both we have no reason to steer you towards one. Take the table as reasoning rather than as a verdict. The short version: if you can afford the licensing and want the Microsoft ecosystem, Dynamics 365 earns its place, especially when you already run Microsoft 365 and Teams and sales, service, and field work need to share one customer record. If you need full control and zero licensing, a custom CRM is the better fit. If you are not sure, that is what the scoping conversation is for, and we will say so before the invoice rather than after it.
The CRM projects we are asked for in Armenia and the region
First CRM, moving off spreadsheets
An organization running its customer list in Excel and a shared inbox. We model the accounts, contacts, and pipeline in Dataverse, import the history that is worth keeping, set up Dynamics 365 Sales around how the team actually sells, and get people using it rather than filing reports about it.
Replacing a legacy or bespoke CRM
An on-premises system or a custom application that nobody can extend any more. We map the existing entities to the Dataverse model, migrate the historical data, rebuild the business logic as plug-ins and Power Automate flows, and rebuild custom screens as PCF controls. Our published European bank engagement is exactly this shape.
Migrating from another CRM platform
Moving from Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, or an older Dynamics version onto Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, usually because the Microsoft estate is already there and the second platform is the odd one out. Data, process, and integrations move together rather than in a big-bang cutover.
Fixing a CRM that was implemented badly
The licences are paid for, the system is live, and nobody uses it. We audit what was built, work out where it diverged from how the business runs, and fix it, whether that is a data model problem, a process problem, or an adoption problem.
How does our Yerevan-based delivery model for CRM consulting in Armenia work?
Buyers in Armenia and the Caucasus usually decide on four things, and they are rarely the four a capability deck leads with: whether the team shares your working day, who actually writes the code, whether the price is fixed before the build starts, and who answers when something breaks a year after go live. Here is our answer on each, set against the model you are most likely weighing us against, which is a distant delivery centre or a large consultancy running the build from somewhere else.
Time zone alignment with Europe
Our Yerevan model: Yerevan is GMT+4. That is the same working day as Armenia and the Caucasus, roughly 4 to 6 hours of live overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK. Standups, workshops, demos, and decisions all fit inside your day, so a blocker raised in the morning is normally cleared the same morning rather than acknowledged the next one. For clients in Armenia the workshops can happen in the room in Yerevan, in English, Armenian, or Russian.
The model you are comparing it with: A delivery centre several time zones away turns every question into an overnight round trip, so one ambiguity costs a day and a run of them costs an iteration. A large consultancy overlaps at head office and then routes the build to a team you did not meet during the pitch.
Senior only engineers, the same ones from scoping to support
Our Yerevan model: Every CRM engagement is staffed with Microsoft-certified senior engineers, typically two or three of them, and the people who scope the work are the people who configure, develop, and support it. There is no delivery pyramid underneath and no account layer in between, which is also why other Microsoft partners subcontract their harder technical work to us.
The model you are comparing it with: The pyramid model puts architects on the pitch and juniors on the build, so the context gathered during discovery is lost at handover and paid for again at user acceptance testing. Volume suppliers rotate people between accounts, so the engineer who understands your data model can leave halfway through.
Fixed price scoping agreed before anyone builds
Our Yerevan model: Scoping is a piece of work rather than a sales call. We audit how you win and keep customers today, write the requirements down, and phase the scope so the first release is something you can fund and actually use. You then pick the commercial basis: time and materials, or a fixed price per milestone where budget certainty matters more than flexibility. Microsoft licences stay separate, bought per user per month from Microsoft at list prices that are identical anywhere in the world.
The model you are comparing it with: A number quoted before anyone has looked at your process moves all of the scope risk onto you, and the lowest headline day rate usually buys the most days once rework and re-explaining are counted. The figure worth comparing between suppliers is the total cost of reaching a working system, not the rate.
Support after go live from the team that built it
Our Yerevan model: The engineers who built the system keep it running: fixes, performance tuning, new automation as the process changes, and the two Microsoft release waves a year tested before they land rather than after. Because the same people stay, the next piece of work starts with the work instead of with re-explaining the build, and the source, the managed and unmanaged solutions, and the handover documentation are yours from the start.
The model you are comparing it with: Support is commonly transferred to a separate managed service desk that was never on the project, or it depends on whoever is still on the account when you come back. Either way, the context gets rebuilt at your expense.
The same delivery model as plain facts
- Where the team sits
- Yerevan, Armenia. One hub, no offshore back office behind it.
- Time zone
- GMT+4. Roughly 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK.
- Languages
- English, Armenian, and Russian.
- Product scope
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (D365 CE), the Microsoft CRM (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), Dynamics 365 Business Central with the Armenian localization, Finance and Operations, and the Power Platform.
- Engagement types
- Direct B2B contracts with the organization using D365, or white-label delivery behind another Microsoft partner.
- Commercial basis
- Time and materials or fixed price per milestone, with NDA, GDPR-compliant DPA, and IP ownership defined in the SOW.
- How we work
- Remotely over Teams or Zoom, in your Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira, with standups, demos, and reviews on your calendar.
- Who you talk to
- The engineers who scope the work are the engineers who build it. There is no account layer in between.
Three pages go further than this summary rather than repeating it. The Yerevan local delivery guide compares every consultancy model open to a buyer in the region, sets out the managed support tiers available after go live, and gives a due diligence checklist you can apply to us as readily as to anyone else. The Solzet company profile has the company facts and the individual certifications behind the senior-only claim. And hiring a Dynamics 365 developer or CRM developer in Armenia sets out the engagement models in detail, including what a fixed scope build and managed support actually cover.
Book a free CRM consultation
Tell us what you are trying to fix, whether that is a first CRM replacing spreadsheets, a legacy system nobody can extend, or an implementation that has stalled. The first conversation is with the senior engineers who would do the work rather than with a sales layer, and it costs nothing. If there is a fit we propose a free two-week discovery sprint with no obligation: we assess your environment, document the requirements, and hand back a solution proposal that is yours whether or not you continue with us. We reply within one business day.
Get a free CRM consultationBuying from the UK, the Netherlands or Germany: how do contracting, data residency and on-site work actually happen?
A mid-market buyer in Western Europe looking at a Dynamics 365 partner in Yerevan usually has four questions before price comes up: who signs the contract, where the CRM data will live, whether anyone will ever be in the room, and whether one partner can cover the CRM and the ERP when the rest of the Dynamics 365 range is in play. Here are straight answers to all four.
Contracting directly or white-label through your partner
Contract with Solzet directly
A B2B contract between your organization and Solzet, with an NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA, invoiced in EUR, GBP or USD by wire transfer. The commercial basis is time and materials or a fixed price per milestone, agreed before work starts, and IP ownership is written into the SOW. Your Microsoft licences stay in your own name, bought from Microsoft or your licensing provider, so changing implementation partner never touches the subscription.
Keep your Microsoft partner and use us white-label
If you already have a Microsoft partner in the UK, the Netherlands or Germany, they can hold the contract and the client relationship while we deliver behind their brand, in their Azure DevOps and to their standards. Nothing changes on your side of the table. It is how our published PCF engagement for a UK Microsoft partner ran, and it suits partners who need senior Customer Engagement or PCF capacity for a project without hiring for it.
Partners can read how white-label delivery works on the white-label subcontracting page, and the UK Microsoft partner PCF case study shows one in practice.
How UK, Dutch and German data residency questions are handled
- Where the data is stored
- In Microsoft datacentres, in the region chosen when each Dataverse environment is created. The Power Platform admin center offers geographies including the United Kingdom, Germany and Europe, so a UK buyer can keep CRM data in the UK, a German buyer in Germany, and a Dutch buyer in the Europe geography. Check the region list for your specific apps when the environment is created, because availability can differ by app.
- Changing it later
- The region is not a setting you flip afterwards. Moving an environment to another geography is a support-led migration with Microsoft, which is why we confirm the region with you before any environment is set up.
- Whose tenant
- Yours. We work inside your Microsoft tenant and your Dataverse environments, with accounts you issue and security roles you control. Your CRM data is not copied into a Solzet tenant, and removing our access at the end of an engagement is a change you make in your own admin center.
- Access from Armenia
- The data stays in the region you chose, but our engineers work on it remotely from Yerevan, and Armenia sits outside the EU and UK. That access is what the GDPR-compliant DPA covers. Bring your data protection requirements to scoping so the contractual terms are settled before any access is granted.
- Copilot and AI features
- Some generative AI features in Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform can process data outside your chosen geography where the service is not available locally, and that is governed by a tenant setting in the Power Platform admin center. We review it with you before any such feature is switched on rather than after.
What remote delivery with on-site work when it matters means in practice
For clients in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and the US, delivery is remote by default: workshops, standups, demos and reviews over Teams or Zoom, inside your Azure DevOps, GitHub or Jira, on your calendar and within the 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap GMT+4 gives with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK. The engineers who run the workshops are the engineers who build the system, so remote does not mean a relay.
On site is where we state it: in Yerevan, for discovery, workshops and go-live support with Armenian enterprises, government bodies and regional clients when being in the room genuinely changes the outcome. We do not advertise a standing presence in the UK, the Netherlands or Germany. If an in-person session at your office matters for a specific milestone, raise it during scoping so it is agreed in the SOW rather than assumed.
Can one partner cover both the CRM and the ERP on Dynamics 365?
Yes, and that is how Solzet works. We know Dataverse and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement deeply, and we implement Business Central and Finance and Operations, so one team designs the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them. Custom CRM stays on the table for buyers whose budget Microsoft licensing does not suit.
| What you need | Solzet | Who to use otherwise |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service or Customer Insights | Yes. This is the core of the practice. | Not needed. |
| Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, Dataverse and PCF controls | Yes, on top of Customer Engagement or standing on their own. | Not needed. |
| A CRM without Microsoft licensing | Yes. Custom CRM on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL and .NET. | Not needed. |
| Integrating Customer Engagement with your ERP | Yes, both sides: Business Central through the Dataverse connection and virtual tables, Finance and Operations through dual-write and virtual entities. | Not needed. |
| Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management or Finance and Operations | Yes. Implementation, X++ extensions, integrations, data migration and support, and the upgrade from Dynamics AX. | Not needed. |
| Business Central, or a move off Dynamics NAV | Yes. Business Central online, AL extensions, the Business Central Armenian localization, and migration from Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP or 1C. | Not needed. |
| One supplier for CRM and ERP under one contract | Yes. One team for CRM, ERP and the integration between them. | Not needed. |
| Staying on SAP, Oracle, Odoo or 1C | We migrate you from them to Business Central or Finance and Operations. | The partner for that product, if you are keeping it. |
For CRM without Microsoft licensing, see custom CRM development. To check who we are before you get in touch, the company profile, the Yerevan Dynamics 365 and Power Platform experts guide and the case studies are the places to look, and contact@solzet.com reaches the senior team directly.
Who is in the Dynamics 365 partner directory for Armenia and the Caucasus?
Most people arrive here after the Microsoft partner directory did not answer the question. That directory lists corporate entities by country and competency, which tells you who has signed a partner agreement and nothing about who would actually be on your project, what hours they work, or whether they take on a build somebody else started. The list below is organized the other way round: by the kind of supplier you are dealing with, scored on the three things that decide the outcome of a Dynamics 365 project in this region. Delivery style, meaning who writes the code and who you speak to. Regional expertise, meaning presence, working hours, languages, and how straightforward it is to contract them. And crisis response, meaning what happens when a go live slips or a live system starts failing.
Yerevan based Dynamics 365 and Power Platform specialists
Small consultancies headquartered in Armenia whose entire practice is Microsoft business applications rather than software in general. Solzet is one of these. Expect a team measured in engineers rather than in offices.
- Delivery style
- Senior engineers scope the work and then build it, usually two to three on a project. You talk to the people writing the code rather than to an account manager relaying questions to them.
- Regional expertise
- A domestic supplier. Workshops and steering meetings can happen in the room, contracting is local and straightforward, the working day is GMT+4, and the working languages typically include Armenian and Russian alongside English.
- Crisis response
- Usually the strongest category here, because a small specialist team can put its senior people on an emergency the same week. Verify it rather than assume it: ask whether rescue and takeover is a named service with published scope or something they would attempt as a favour.
- Best fit for
- Mid-market Customer Engagement builds, customization and custom development, project rescue, and support that stays with the people who built the system.
Armenian and regional IT services companies with a Microsoft team
Larger general software firms in Armenia and elsewhere in the Caucasus that run a Microsoft or CRM practice alongside web, mobile, data, and QA work. The company is well known locally, the Dynamics 365 practice inside it may be small.
- Delivery style
- Staffed from a shared bench, so the composition of your team depends on what else the company has in flight. Ask which named individuals you are getting and what happens if a larger account needs them.
- Regional expertise
- Strong local presence, local contracting, and the same working day. Often the easiest supplier for a domestic buyer to sign with.
- Crisis response
- Depends entirely on whether a certified Dynamics 365 engineer is free that week. Generalist capacity does not convert into Customer Engagement rescue capacity at short notice.
- Best fit for
- Programs that bundle Dynamics 365 with other technologies under one contract, and staff augmentation where you supply the architecture.
International Dynamics 365 partners serving the region remotely
Partners headquartered in Western Europe, the UK, or the Gulf that sell into the Caucasus without an office in it. This is what the Microsoft directory most often returns for a search in this region.
- Delivery style
- Run from head office, frequently with a separate delivery centre behind the account team. The people on the pitch and the people on the build are commonly not the same people.
- Regional expertise
- Little or no presence in the region. Meetings are remote, travel is billable, and contracting across borders adds time before the project starts. Rates are set by the home market, not by yours.
- Crisis response
- There is a formal escalation path, which is real, but response is gated by the account process rather than by how urgent your outage is. Mobilizing a rescue is usually a new statement of work.
- Best fit for
- Buyers who need a specific vertical solution the partner owns, or an established international brand named on the contract.
Global systems integrators
The largest consultancies, organized to run multi-country programs with heavy governance, procurement, and audit requirements.
- Delivery style
- Pyramid staffing. Senior architects design and sell, much of the build lands with junior consultants, and change runs through a formal process.
- Regional expertise
- Usually no Caucasus presence at all. Everything happens remotely from abroad at the highest rates in this list, and the fee carries sales, account management, and delivery overhead as well as the engineering.
- Crisis response
- Capable, but expensive and slow to mobilize, and normally sold as a new engagement rather than as an intervention in an existing one.
- Best fit for
- Multi-country rollouts, regulated environments, and programs where the governance model matters as much as the build.
Independent contractors and marketplace freelancers
Individual Dynamics 365 consultants and developers, hired directly or through a freelance marketplace. Quality varies more widely here than in any other category on this list.
- Delivery style
- One person, no cover, and no second opinion on a design decision. Whether it works comes down to how well you can technically vet a candidate yourself.
- Regional expertise
- Anywhere, in any time zone. Contracting is fast and light, and so is your recourse if the work is wrong.
- Crisis response
- Fast to start and cheap to try, but a single point of failure. If the contractor becomes unavailable mid rescue you are back where you began, with less budget.
- Best fit for
- A defined short task with a clear finish line, or extra hands inside a team you already run and can review.
Licensing resellers and cloud solution providers
Firms whose primary business is selling Microsoft licences. Some implement as well, many subcontract the build to a third party.
- Delivery style
- The people doing the engineering may not be the company on your invoice, and you may not get to choose or meet them. Ask directly who does the work and whether you can contract that team yourself.
- Regional expertise
- Varies. The licensing relationship is often local even when the delivery is not.
- Crisis response
- They route it onward, which adds a hop between you and whoever can actually fix the system.
- Best fit for
- Buying and managing Microsoft licences. Treat the implementation as a separate decision with a separate shortlist.
There is a deliberate omission here: this directory ranks kinds of supplier, not named competitors. We cannot verify the team seniority, response times, or rescue record of another firm, and a ranked list of rivals that happened to end with us would be marketing dressed as research. Use the categories to work out what you are looking at, then use the checklist further down to test whichever firms you shortlist, us included.
Our own entry: Solzet, Yerevan
- Company and location
- Solzet, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy registered in Armenia and headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia. One delivery hub, no offshore back office behind it.
- What we implement
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights) on Dataverse, the Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages), and custom development including plug-ins, custom API, and PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls in TypeScript and React. On the ERP side, Dynamics 365 Business Central (including the Business Central Armenian localization) and Finance and Operations.
- Delivery style
- Senior only. Microsoft-certified engineers holding PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240, typically two to three per engagement. The people who scope the work configure, develop, and then support it. No junior bench underneath and no account layer in between.
- Regional coverage
- Armenia and the wider Caucasus region as a domestic supplier, and clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US remotely. GMT+4, which is the same working day as Armenia and the Caucasus and roughly 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap with Western Europe, 6 to 8 with the UK. Working languages are English, Armenian, and Russian.
- Crisis response
- Project rescue and takeover is a named service, not an exception. That covers a stalled implementation, a build abandoned by a previous partner, a migration that halted before cutover, and a live system that is failing in production. There is also a fixed scope health check and technical audit if you need a diagnosis before you decide who fixes it.
- Engagement models
- Fixed scope build, a dedicated developer or small team working inside your project, managed support after go live, and white-label delivery behind another Microsoft partner who keeps the client relationship and the brand.
- Commercials and contracting
- B2B contracts with NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA. Time and materials or fixed price per milestone, agreed before work starts. Invoiced in EUR, USD, or GBP by wire transfer. IP ownership defined in the SOW, and you get the source, the managed and unmanaged solutions, and written handover documentation.
- Published evidence
- Four case studies in full: a European bank CRM modernization, field service digitization for a European manufacturer, CRM and project tracking for a management consultancy, and eight PCF controls delivered white-label for a UK Microsoft partner. We do not publish named Armenian or Caucasus client stories, because our engagements run under mutual NDA and a share of the work is white-label behind other partners.
- How to start
- A free consultation with the senior engineers who would do the work, and if there is a fit, a free two-week discovery sprint with no obligation whose output is yours whether or not you continue with us. We reply within one business day.
The two crisis response services named in that listing have pages of their own: Dynamics 365 project rescue and takeover sets out how a stalled or abandoned implementation is stabilized, and the health check and technical audit is the fixed scope diagnosis to run first if you do not yet know how bad it is.
How to shortlist from this directory
Delivery style: who is actually going to write this
Ask for the names, seniority, and certifications of the people who would be on your project, and ask whether those same people did the scoping. Then ask what happens if a bigger account needs them next month. A supplier who answers with a corporate capability deck instead of names is telling you the build is going to a bench you have not met.
Regional expertise: hours, languages, and contracting
Ask what time zone the engineers sit in, not where the head office is registered. Ask how many hours a day overlap with your working day, whether workshops can run in the language your users actually speak, and what the contracting path looks like from signature to first sprint. In this region the difference between a same day answer and an overnight cycle is worth more than a discount on the day rate.
Crisis response: what happens when it breaks
Ask whether they take over work another partner started, and what a stalled project engagement looks like in practice: how the diagnosis is done, how long it takes to get to a stabilized system, and who is on it. Ask about support after go live, whether it is delivered by the engineers who built the system or handed to a separate desk, and what the smallest sensible monthly commitment is. Most suppliers can build. Fewer can take over a half finished build somebody else started, and that is the capability you cannot buy at the moment you need it.
Verification: how to check any of this, including our claims
The Microsoft Solution Partner directory and AppSource confirm that a company exists and holds a partner agreement, which is worth checking and is not the same as evidence of delivery. Beyond that, ask for published case studies with named scope and team size, ask for a reference on the specific Dynamics 365 app you are buying, and insist that the technical conversation happens with an engineer rather than with a salesperson. Apply all of it to us too: our four case studies, our certifications, and our company facts are published rather than described.
Two companion pieces go further than this shortlist rather than repeating it. The ten question buyer checklist for choosing a partner in Armenia turns the same screening into something you can work through in a meeting, including the wrong answers to listen for. The Yerevan local delivery guide adds the managed support tiers available after go live and a due diligence checklist you can apply to any partner.
Why choose a CRM and D365 partner based in Armenia and the Caucasus?
A partner in your region and time zone
Solzet is based in Yerevan, Armenia, in the GMT+4 time zone. For clients in Armenia and the Caucasus that means a partner in the same working day, reachable directly rather than through an offshore account layer. For European and US clients it still leaves several hours of daily overlap for standups, workshops, and reviews.
Senior delivery without a delivery chain
The work is done by senior, certified engineers rather than handed down a chain. You get the technical depth of a specialist team and a partner inside your working day on the same engagement.
CRM and ERP under one roof
Solzet works on both sides of the Microsoft business stack. We know Dataverse and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service) deeply, and we implement Business Central and Finance and Operations, so one team designs the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them, with the Power Platform across both. For clients who need CRM without Microsoft licensing, we build a custom one.
Direct clients and white-label partner work
We serve two kinds of client. Organizations that run Dynamics 365 and want a partner to implement, extend, or fix it, and Microsoft partners who need extra Dynamics 365 and Power Platform capacity delivered quietly under their own brand, Business Central (AL) and Finance and Operations (X++) included. The engineering is the same either way.
Serving the Caucasus and beyond from one hub
Armenia sits between Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and our clients reflect that reach. We deliver across the Caucasus region and internationally into Europe and the US from a single Yerevan team, so the same people carry your project from scoping through to support.
How does a local Caucasus partner compare with a distant or large-scale partner?
Most organizations in Armenia and the Caucasus region choose between three kinds of Dynamics 365 partner: a local regional one, a large Western consultancy or global systems integrator, and a distant offshore delivery centre. This is how the three compare on the things that decide the outcome.
| What you are comparing | Local Yerevan partner (Solzet) | Large-scale Western consultancy | Distant offshore delivery centre |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the fee pays for | Engineering time. Senior, certified engineers, quoted after scoping with the basis visible before you commit. | The build, plus the sales, account management, and delivery overhead the fee usually carries. | Lowest headline rate, but often more days consumed by rework, re-explaining, and handover gaps. |
| Time zone overlap | GMT+4. The same working day as Armenia and the Caucasus, roughly 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK. | Head office hours overlap, but the build is frequently handed to a delivery centre in another time zone. | Little daily overlap with Caucasus or European hours. Questions asked today are typically answered tomorrow. |
| Who actually builds it | Senior only. The engineers who scope the work are the ones who configure, develop, and support it. | Senior architects on the pitch, then a mixed team where much of the build lands with juniors. | Varies by assignment, often with high staff turnover mid project. |
| Who you talk to | The engineers directly. There is no account layer between you and the build. | An account manager or engagement lead, with changes routed through a formal process. | A coordinator who relays questions to the team that does the work. |
| Presence in Armenia and the Caucasus | A domestic supplier in Yerevan. Workshops, discovery, and steering meetings can happen in the room, in English, Armenian, or Russian. | Usually no presence in the region, so everything happens remotely from abroad. | No presence in the region and no realistic option to meet in person. |
| Team size and minimum engagement | Small senior teams, typically two to three consultants, sized to the scope rather than to a bench. | Larger teams and larger minimum engagements, built for multi-country programs with heavy governance. | Scales on headcount, which works better for volume work than for specialist depth. |
| Continuity after go live | The same people who built the system support it, so the next piece of work does not start with re-explaining the build. | Support usually transfers to a separate managed service desk. | Continuity depends on who is still on the account when you come back. |
None of these models is wrong in every case. A multi-country program with heavy governance genuinely suits a global integrator. For a mid-market Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement build in Armenia or the Caucasus, the local model is usually the one that gets senior people on the work at a rate the business can carry. The Yerevan local delivery guide works through the same comparison alongside a due diligence checklist you can apply to any partner, including us.
What you are paying for
Senior engineering time, not a pyramid. There is no sales floor or account management layer between you and the build, and teams are sized to the scope. A Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement build is delivered by certified engineers on time and materials or fixed price per milestone, with the basis visible before you commit.
What same working day overlap changes in practice
For a client in Armenia or the Caucasus the working day is identical, so a blocker raised in the morning is resolved in the morning. For Europe and the UK there are still several hours of live overlap every day, which is enough for standups, demos, workshops, and a decision inside the same day rather than the next one. That is the difference between a partner who is in your day and a delivery centre that answers overnight.
Senior only, with no delivery pyramid underneath
Large-scale partners staff projects as a pyramid: senior architects sell and design, junior consultants build. We do not have that pyramid. Every CRM engagement is staffed with Microsoft-certified senior engineers holding PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240, and a typical project team is two to three of them. It is also why other Microsoft partners subcontract the hard technical work, including PCF development, to us rather than staffing it internally.
What about the offshore delivery objection?
Contracting a Dynamics 365 and Power Platform team outside your own country carries real risks, and most of them are structural rather than a matter of effort. Here is each common failure mode and what our delivery model does about it. Judge any partner, including us, on the right hand column rather than on the promise.
| The risk | What usually goes wrong | How we handle it from Yerevan |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight turnaround on every question | With a distant delivery centre, a question raised in the European afternoon is answered the following morning, so a single ambiguity can cost a day and a chain of them can cost a sprint. | Yerevan is GMT+4. That is the same working day as Armenia and the Caucasus, roughly 4 to 6 hours of live overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK. Blockers get resolved in a call on the day they are raised, and standups, demos, and reviews sit on your calendar rather than ours. |
| The team who sold it is not the team who builds it | Senior architects scope the work, then the build is handed to a bench of junior consultants, and the context gathered during scoping is lost in the handover. | There is no delivery pyramid here. Every CRM engagement is staffed with Microsoft-certified senior engineers, typically two to three of them, and the people who scope the work are the people who configure, develop, and support it. There is no account layer between you and the build. |
| Requirements lost in translation | Specifications are interpreted literally, gaps are filled with assumptions instead of questions, and the mismatch only becomes visible at UAT when it is expensive to fix. | We work in short iterations with a working demo at the end of each one, so you see the actual system early and often rather than a status report. Our engineers are expected to challenge a requirement that will not work in Dynamics 365 rather than build it and let you discover the problem later. |
| Staff churn mid project | Volume delivery centres rotate people between accounts, so the engineer who understands your data model leaves halfway through and the replacement rebuilds their understanding on your budget. | We are a specialist senior consultancy, not a staffing pool, and the same engineers stay with a project from scoping through go live and into support. Adding the next piece of work does not start with re-explaining the build. |
| Code and configuration you cannot take back | The supplier builds in their own tenant with their own tooling, documentation is thin, and leaving them means paying someone else to reverse engineer the system. | We work in your Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira, in your Dataverse environments, with proper solution management and source control. You get the source, the managed and unmanaged solutions, and written handover documentation. IP ownership is defined in the SOW before work starts. |
| Contract, data protection, and payment friction | Buyers worry that contracting outside the EU or UK means weak data protection terms, unclear liability, and awkward payment mechanics. | Solzet is registered in Armenia and works on straightforward B2B contracts with NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA, invoicing in EUR, USD, or GBP by wire transfer. Commercials are time and materials or fixed price per milestone, agreed before we start. |
| The low day rate that costs more in the end | The lowest headline day rate often buys the most days, because rework, re-explaining, and a weak handover consume the difference and then some. | We are not the lowest day rate and do not try to be. Every day is senior, certified engineering with no sales floor or junior pyramid behind it, so judge a proposal on the total cost of getting to a working system, not the day rate. |
The honest summary is that delivery from Armenia removes the time zone and continuity problems that make distant offshoring expensive, and puts senior engineers on the work from the first call. What it does not remove is the need to check a supplier properly, which is what the due diligence checklist is for.
What delivery evidence comes from the Yerevan hub?
Published engagements, with the team size and timeline stated, so you can see the scale a senior-only Yerevan team actually delivers at. These are cross-border projects rather than named regional clients: our engagements run under mutual NDA and part of our work is white-label behind other Microsoft partners, so we do not publish client names. The team, the seniority, and the delivery model are the same ones a client in Armenia or the wider Caucasus works with. If you want a reference relevant to your own app, ask for one during scoping.

3 months, 2 senior PCF developers
Eight custom PCF controls built in TypeScript and React as a white-label member of a UK partner delivery team, in their Azure DevOps and under their brand. Delivered on time with no post-deployment bugs in the first three months.
Each one is written up in full on our case studies pages, and the services behind them are set out under Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement consulting and white-label subcontracting for Microsoft partners.
What does our CRM consulting cover?
Our services cover Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, Business Central, Finance and Operations, the Power Platform, and the custom development around them. We agree the exact scope with you before we start.
CRM implementation on Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement
Implementing and configuring Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Customer Insights on Dataverse: data model, forms and views, business process flows, security roles, and the model-driven apps your team works in. We build the CRM around how your business actually runs rather than a generic template, and connect it to Business Central or Finance and Operations when that is your ERP.
ERP implementation on Business Central and Finance and Operations
Solzet implements Dynamics 365 Business Central online, builds AL extensions and integrations, and migrates companies from Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, 1C and other ERPs. For Armenian companies that includes the Business Central Armenian localization. Larger organizations get Finance and Operations, extended in X++ and connected to Customer Engagement through dual-write. Already live on Business Central or Finance and Operations? Solzet can audit your existing project and give you a stabilisation plan.
Power Platform solutions
Model-driven and canvas Power Apps, Power Automate flows, and Dataverse solutions that extend Dynamics 365 or stand on their own. We use the Power Platform to automate manual processes and connect systems, and we advise honestly on where standard configuration beats custom code.
Custom development and PCF controls
Where the platform needs to go further, we build it: plug-ins, custom APIs, JavaScript, and PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls that add tailored, high-performance UI inside model-driven apps. Custom PCF development is a core strength, and it is one of the things Microsoft partners regularly subcontract to us.
Project rescue and takeover
When a Dynamics 365 implementation has stalled, overrun, or lost its original partner, we step in to stabilize it, work out what is really wrong, and get delivery back on track. We can take over a build mid-flight or fix a live system that is not performing.
Ongoing support and optimization
After go live we support and improve the system: fixing issues, tuning performance, extending functionality, and keeping the environment healthy as data and usage grow. Support is delivered by the same engineers who know the build, not a separate desk.
White-label delivery for Microsoft partners
For other Microsoft partners we provide Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform capacity on a white-label, B2B basis: you keep the client relationship and your brand, and our certified Customer Engagement and Power Platform engineers work behind it, on time zones that overlap with your working day. Business Central (AL) and Finance and Operations (X++) capacity is available on the same white-label terms, delivered by Solzet.
What regional expertise do we have across Armenia and the Caucasus?
What a Dynamics 365 buyer in the region gets from a partner who is actually in the region.
Armenia: a partner you can meet in person
For organizations in Yerevan and across Armenia we are a domestic supplier, not an import. Workshops, discovery sessions, and steering meetings can happen in the room rather than only on a call, contracting is straightforward, and the working day is the same one your team already keeps.
The wider Caucasus and neighbouring markets
Yerevan sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and we deliver Dynamics 365 and Power Platform work remotely across the Caucasus region and its neighbouring markets from that single hub. The delivery model is the same one we use for European and US clients: remote, senior, and in a time zone that overlaps yours.
A supported platform rather than one-off software
Mid-market organizations in the region often run a mix of spreadsheets, a legacy on-premises CRM, or a system built by a since-departed developer. We move that onto Dynamics 365 and Dataverse, or onto a properly engineered custom CRM when Microsoft licensing does not fit, and either way the result is a documented, supported system with an upgrade path rather than software only one person understands.
Yerevan delivery, international standards
Working from Armenia does not change the engineering standard: certified senior consultants, source control and proper solution management, documented handover, and the same delivery discipline we apply on engagements for Microsoft partners in Europe and the US.
Cross-border and international clients
Solzet is registered in Armenia, invoicing internationally in EUR, USD, or GBP by wire transfer, working on B2B contracts with GDPR-compliant DPA coverage. A client outside Armenia is a normal engagement for us, not an exception we have to arrange around.
Working practice alignment, not just a shared language
Armenia has a long established software engineering sector and our engineers work the way European and US teams expect: written requirements, tickets in your tracker, source control and branch reviews, demos at the end of an iteration, and direct pushback when a request will not work. English is the working language of every engagement, with Armenian and Russian available for regional clients. The practical result is that you do not spend the first month of the project teaching the supplier how you run projects.
How does a CRM consulting engagement with Solzet work?
A straightforward B2B engagement, direct or white-label, delivered by the same Yerevan-based team from scoping through to support.
Tell us what you need
You describe the situation: a new Dynamics 365 implementation, an existing system to extend or fix, a project that has gone off track, or a partner engagement you want delivered under your brand. We talk it through with the engineers who would do the work, not a sales layer.
Scope and agree a plan
We assess what is involved, agree the scope, timeline, and a clear commercial basis, and set out how we will work together. For direct clients that is a B2B contract with your team; for partners it is a white-label arrangement behind your own brand.
Deliver from Yerevan
Our Yerevan-based engineers build, configure, and develop the solution, working in your time zone with regular standups, demos, and reviews over Teams or Zoom. You always know what is being built and why, and the same people stay with the project throughout.
Support and grow the system
After go live we support the system and keep improving it, tuning performance, extending functionality, and cleaning up as the environment grows. Because the delivery team stays close, adding the next piece of work does not mean re-explaining the whole build.
Why choose Solzet as your CRM consulting partner?
A specialist Dynamics 365 partner with the technical depth other partners subcontract to, delivered from a Yerevan cost base.
Certified, senior engineers
Our team holds Microsoft certifications including PL-200, PL-400, and PL-600 for the Power Platform, and MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240 for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. The people on your project are experienced specialists, not juniors learning on your budget.
A local presence with international reach
Headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia, we act as a local Dynamics 365 partner across the Caucasus while delivering to clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US. One team, one point of contact, wherever the work sits.
Deep technical expertise
Custom development, PCF controls, plug-ins, and integration work are core to what we do, which is why Microsoft partners bring us the hard technical parts of their Dynamics 365 and Power Platform projects. The depth is real, not a line on a capability deck.
Honest, vendor-neutral advice
We tell you where standard Dynamics 365 or Power Platform configuration will meet the need and where custom development is genuinely warranted, rather than defaulting to the biggest build. The goal is a system that works and that you can afford to run.
What do buyers ask about CRM consulting in Armenia?
How do I choose a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner in Armenia?
Check seven things. Who built and maintains the Armenian localization, and whether it runs as AL extensions on the international (W1) version of Business Central. Whether the partner can show VAT returns, statutory statements and State Revenue Committee e-invoicing working in a test company on your own data. Whether the same team does the 1C migration. Whether CRM and ERP sit in one team. Whether delivery runs in Armenian and Russian in your time zone. Who actually does the work. And who owns the AL source. Solzet builds the Business Central Armenian localization itself as extensions on W1, migrates from 1C, and designs the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them from Yerevan.
Does Microsoft provide the Business Central localization for Armenia?
No. Microsoft makes Business Central online available in Armenia on the international (W1) base app and states that the localization for Armenia is provided by partners. Solzet builds and maintains the Business Central Armenian localization as AL extensions on W1: AMD as the local currency, an Armenian chart of accounts, Armenian tax and statutory reporting, Armenian-language documents, and State Revenue Committee e-invoicing where applicable. Payroll is not part of what the localization covers.
What is CRM consulting?
CRM consulting is the work of turning a business problem into a customer system people actually use, and it covers both the advice and the build. In practice that means auditing how an organization wins and keeps customers today, agreeing what the system has to do and what it should deliberately not try to do, designing the data model and the processes on top of it, implementing and customizing the platform, migrating the data that already exists, training the people who will work in it every day, and then supporting and extending it as the business changes. Buying the licences is not the project. Solzet does the consulting and the build on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and the Power Platform, with Business Central and Finance and Operations on the ERP side, delivered from Yerevan, Armenia, for clients in Armenia and the Caucasus and for companies and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US.
What does a CRM consultant actually do on a project?
Two jobs that are usually sold as one and often staffed as two. The advisory half is requirements, process design, the Dataverse data model, the phasing of releases, and the honest calls about where standard configuration is enough and where custom code is genuinely warranted. The delivery half is configuring the apps, writing the plug-ins, custom API, and PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls that configuration cannot express, building the integrations, running the release pipeline, and fixing what user acceptance testing finds. On a Solzet engagement the same senior, Microsoft-certified engineer does both, so the context gathered in discovery is not lost at a handover and paid for a second time later.
How do you choose a CRM consulting firm?
Ask four questions and judge the answers rather than the capability deck. Who will actually be on the project, at what seniority, with what certifications, and did those same people do the scoping. What time zone do the engineers sit in, as opposed to where the head office is registered, and how many hours a day overlap with yours. What happens when it goes wrong: do they take over work another supplier started, and is project rescue a named service with published scope or a favour they would attempt. And how is it priced: whether licences and implementation are separated in the quote, and whether the basis is time and materials or fixed price per milestone. Apply all four to us as well. Our certifications, engagement models, case studies, and delivery facts are published on this site rather than described on a call.
Do you provide CRM consulting to clients outside Armenia?
Yes, and most of our delivery is cross-border. Yerevan is our only hub, and from it we deliver CRM consulting to organizations across Armenia and the wider Caucasus region and to companies and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US. The model is the same either way: senior, Microsoft-certified engineers working remotely over Teams or Zoom, inside your Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira, on B2B contracts with NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA, invoiced in EUR, USD, or GBP by wire transfer. GMT+4 leaves roughly 4 to 6 hours of daily live overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK, which is enough for standups, workshops, demos, and a decision inside the same day.
What does CRM consulting in Armenia include?
The whole path from the decision to a running system, and with Solzet it is one Yerevan team throughout. Discovery: an audit of how you win and keep customers today, the requirements that follow from it, and a phased scope you can actually fund. Implementation on Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement: the Dataverse data model, forms and views, business process flows, security roles, dashboards, and the automation that replaces manual steps. Customization and custom development where standard configuration runs out: plug-ins, custom API, PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls, and Power Automate. Migration: accounts, contacts, and history out of spreadsheets or an older CRM. Adoption: training, hypercare, and the improvements that real usage exposes. Microsoft licences are bought separately, per user per month, at list prices that are the same anywhere in the world. The consulting and the build are the part a partner delivers.
What does a free CRM consultation with Solzet involve?
A first conversation with the senior engineers who would actually do the work rather than with a sales layer, at no cost. You describe the situation, whether that is a first CRM replacing spreadsheets, a legacy system nobody can extend, a move from another CRM platform, or an implementation that has stalled, and we tell you what we think it needs, what it does not need, and roughly what a sensible first phase looks like. If there is a fit we propose a free two-week discovery sprint with no obligation: we assess your environment, document the requirements, and deliver a solution proposal that is yours whether or not you continue with us. From there you choose the commercial basis, time and materials or fixed price per milestone. We reply within one business day, and the whole thing runs in English, Armenian, or Russian.
Can we hire a CRM developer or a Dynamics 365 developer in Armenia?
Yes, and in our case the two job titles describe the same role: CRM developer is the platform neutral title and our platform is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement on Dataverse. Our developers are senior, Microsoft-certified, and based in Yerevan in GMT+4, and they work inside your Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira and to your branching and review rules rather than running a separate process on the side. You can engage them as a dedicated developer or small team inside your own project, for a fixed scope build, for managed support on an environment that already exists, or white-label behind another Microsoft partner. Our Dynamics 365 and CRM developer service page sets out the engagement models in detail.
What can a Dynamics 365 developer build that configuration alone cannot?
Four things, in practice. The Dataverse layer: tables, relationships, alternate keys, business rules, security roles, and column level security, designed once rather than reworked after user acceptance testing. Server side logic: plug-ins and custom API on the Dataverse event pipeline for pricing, discount, validation, and approval rules that must run whether the record comes from a form, an integration, or a bulk import. Interface: PCF controls in TypeScript and React where a standard control cannot express what users need, which is the work other Microsoft partners most often subcontract to us. Integration: the Dataverse Web API, custom connectors, and Power Automate, with authentication, field mapping, retries, and error handling that surfaces a failure instead of hiding it. Around all four sits managed solution and release management, which is what keeps the build cheap to change later.
Do you implement CRM systems in Armenia?
Yes. Solzet is a Dynamics 365 consultancy headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia. We implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, and for organizations that need CRM without Microsoft licensing we build custom CRM systems on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and .NET. That covers Dynamics 365 Sales for pipeline and account management, Customer Service for cases and SLAs, Field Service for scheduling and mobile engineers, and Customer Insights for marketing journeys, all on the Dataverse data model. We implement it for organizations in Armenia and across the Caucasus region, and for clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US, from one Yerevan team of senior, Microsoft-certified engineers. When the CRM needs an ERP beside it, we also implement Business Central, including the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations.
Who implements CRM in Armenia?
Solzet does, from Yerevan. We are a Microsoft partner specializing in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, the Microsoft CRM, and the Power Platform, and CRM implementation in Armenia and the Caucasus region is a core part of what we do, for Armenian enterprises, government and public sector bodies, and alongside our work for clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US. The people who scope your CRM are the senior, Microsoft-certified engineers who then configure, develop, and support it: there is no offshore back office behind us and no account layer in between. We also build custom CRMs for organizations that cannot or will not adopt Microsoft licensing, so we recommend the right solution rather than the one we happen to sell. On the ERP side we implement Business Central, with the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations.
How long does a CRM implementation in Armenia take?
It depends on scope, but the published evidence gives a realistic range. Our four case studies ran three to five months each with teams of two to three senior consultants, covering a bank CRM replacement with more than 200,000 migrated records, a field service rollout for 50 plus technicians, a Dynamics 365 Sales and Power Apps build for an 80 plus consultant firm, and eight custom PCF controls for a UK Microsoft partner. A mid-market CRM build in Armenia usually sits in that same band. A tightly scoped first phase covering one team and one process can go live sooner, with further apps and integrations added in stages rather than in a single cutover.
Where is our CRM data stored if we are based in Armenia?
Dynamics 365 and Dataverse run in Microsoft datacentres, and the region is chosen when the environment is created rather than adjusted later. There is no Microsoft datacentre in Armenia, so organizations here normally run in a European region, which also keeps a GDPR-compliant DPA straightforward for anyone trading into the EU. We advise on the choice before the environment is set up, because changing it afterwards is a support-led migration rather than a setting you flip. Your data stays yours throughout, and IP ownership is defined in the SOW before work starts.
Can the CRM be supported in Armenian and Russian?
Yes. Our working languages are English, Armenian, and Russian, so workshops, training, and support for a team in Armenia or elsewhere in the Caucasus can run in the language your people actually use, while documentation and code stay in English for anyone who inherits the system later. Dynamics 365 itself ships with a large set of interface languages that can be enabled per user, Russian among them, and any labels, forms, and views we build can be configured to match how your team refers to things rather than to a generic template.
What does D365 mean?
D365 is the common shorthand for Microsoft Dynamics 365, the Microsoft family of business applications. There is no difference between the two names: consultants, recruiters, and project teams write D365 because it is shorter, and Microsoft writes Dynamics 365 in its own documentation. Within D365 there are two halves. The CRM half is Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, made up of D365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Customer Insights on the shared Dataverse data model. The other half is ERP: Dynamics 365 Business Central and Finance and Operations, and Solzet implements both. One team can therefore design the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them.
Do you provide D365 implementation and support in Armenia?
Yes. Solzet is headquartered in Yerevan and D365 is what we do: implementing and configuring D365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Customer Insights on Dataverse, migrating data off spreadsheets or a legacy system, building Power Apps and Power Automate solutions around them, developing plug-ins and custom PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls, rescuing D365 projects that have stalled, and supporting the system after go live. We deliver that for organizations in Armenia and across the Caucasus region, and for clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US, from one Yerevan team of senior, Microsoft-certified engineers holding PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240. On the ERP side of D365 we implement Business Central, with the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations.
Is Dynamics 365 the same thing as a CRM?
Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement is Microsoft CRM. The name changed over the years, from Microsoft Dynamics CRM to Dynamics 365, and the product was split into apps (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights) that sit on a shared Dataverse database, but the job is the same job a CRM has always done: one trusted record of your customers, your pipeline, and every interaction with them. The other half of the Dynamics 365 range is ERP rather than CRM: Business Central and Finance and Operations, which Solzet implements as well, so one team can design the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them. Custom-built CRM remains the option for clients who need one without Microsoft licensing.
Which CRM is right for a company in Armenia?
We recommend the right solution: Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement, Business Central or Finance and Operations), Power Platform, or a custom-built CRM, and for the CRM itself it depends on where you are starting from. A small team tracking a short customer list is often fine in spreadsheets for a while. A sales team that needs a pipeline and nothing more is well served by a standalone SaaS CRM such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zoho. Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement is the stronger choice when you already run Microsoft 365 and Teams, when sales, service, and field operations need to share one customer record, or when the system has to be genuinely customized and integrated rather than configured from a menu. A custom-built CRM is the better choice when Microsoft licensing is beyond the budget, when you need full ownership of the code and hosting, or when your process is too specific for a packaged product, provided it is engineered and supported by a team. What we would argue against in every case is a system, packaged or custom, that only one developer understands, because that is the thing our clients most often ask us to replace.
Can you migrate our existing CRM to Dynamics 365?
Yes, and it is one of our most common projects. We migrate from spreadsheets, from on-premises or bespoke systems, from older Dynamics CRM versions, and from other CRM platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho. The work is the same shape each time: map the existing entities and relationships onto the Dataverse model, agree what history is actually worth bringing across, build and test the data migration, rebuild business logic as plug-ins and Power Automate flows, rebuild custom screens as PCF controls where they are needed, then cut over in stages rather than all at once. Our published European bank engagement replaced a 15-year-old on-premises CRM and migrated more than 200,000 historical records this way.
Which Dynamics 365 partners operate in Armenia?
Six kinds of supplier serve this market, and knowing which kind you are talking to matters more than the name on the door. Yerevan based Dynamics 365 and Power Platform specialists, of which Solzet is one, are specialist firms whose whole practice is Microsoft business applications. Armenian and regional IT services companies run a Microsoft team alongside web, mobile, and QA work. International partners in Western Europe, the UK, or the Gulf sell into the region without an office in it. Global systems integrators run multi-country programs from abroad. Independent contractors and marketplace freelancers work solo. Licensing resellers sell Microsoft licences and often subcontract the build. We do not publish a ranked list of named competitors, because we cannot verify another firm on team seniority, response times, or rescue record, and a list that conveniently ended with us would not be worth reading. The partner directory on this page sets out all six categories against delivery style, regional expertise, and crisis response so you can place any firm you find.
Is there a Microsoft partner directory for Armenia, and is it enough?
There is. The Microsoft Solution Partner directory and AppSource will confirm that a company exists, where it is registered, and that it holds a partner agreement, and it is worth checking for any supplier you shortlist. What it will not tell you is the part that decides your project: who would actually be on it and at what seniority, what time zone those engineers sit in as opposed to where the head office is, whether the people who scope the work are the people who build it, and whether the firm takes over an implementation somebody else started. Those are the three axes the directory on this page is organized around instead. Use both: Microsoft to confirm a company is real, the categories and shortlist questions here to work out what you would actually be buying.
How do I find a Dynamics 365 partner in Armenia or the Caucasus for an urgent project rescue?
Start by ruling out the categories that cannot help at short notice. A global integrator will treat it as a new engagement with its own procurement cycle. A generalist IT services company can only help if a certified Dynamics 365 engineer happens to be free that week. A reseller will route you onward. A lone freelancer can start tomorrow but is a single point of failure halfway through. What you want is a specialist team small enough to put senior people on it immediately and experienced enough to have done it before, and the question to ask is whether project rescue is a named service with published scope rather than something they would attempt as a favour. For Solzet it is a named service: our project rescue and takeover page covers a stalled implementation, a build abandoned by a previous partner, a migration that halted before cutover, and a live system failing in production, and the health check and technical audit is the fixed scope diagnosis to run first if you do not yet know how bad it is.
Do you work with clients in Georgia and the wider Caucasus, not just Armenia?
Yes. Yerevan is our only delivery hub and we deliver Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Power Platform work remotely across the Caucasus region and its neighbouring markets from it, on the same model we use for clients in Europe and the US: senior certified engineers, remote delivery, and a time zone that overlaps yours. For a client elsewhere in the Caucasus the working day is effectively identical to ours, which is the practical advantage over a partner running the build from Western Europe. Contracting is straightforward, since Solzet is registered in Armenia and works on B2B contracts with NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA and invoicing in EUR, USD, or GBP by wire transfer, so a cross-border engagement is a normal one for us rather than an exception.
How do you set up Dynamics 365 so managers see only their own clients and the head of sales sees everything?
With owner-based security and hierarchy security rather than new business units. Each client is owned by its rep, and the sales role grants User-level read and write on accounts, contacts, leads and opportunities, so reps see what they own. Hierarchy security on the manager hierarchy, with the Manager field filled in on every user and the client tables included, lets a direct manager read and edit records owned by their reports and higher managers read them. The head of sales gets a role with Organization-level read. Owner teams hold shared pools, and business units are added only when branches or legal entities must not see each other. Our guide to the Dynamics 365 security model covers the full design rule and the change order.
Can you change the security model in a live Dynamics 365 system without breaking existing access?
Yes, if the change is sequenced. We record what each persona can see first, copy the existing role rather than editing it in place, rehearse the change in a sandbox copy of production, add the new access before removing the old, check the application users that integrations and Power Automate flows run under, and retest with real users after every step. Moving a user to another business unit removes their security roles by default, which is the most common way visibility gets lost, so business unit moves are planned and logged rather than made ad hoc. Hierarchy and modernized business unit settings vary by environment, so we check them against current Microsoft documentation before the first change.
Ведёте ли вы проекты Dynamics 365 на русском языке и берёте ли проекты, начатые другим подрядчиком?
Да. Мы работаем на русском, армянском и английском языках: встречи, обучение и поддержка проходят на языке ваших сотрудников, а документация и код остаются на английском, чтобы систему мог поддерживать любой специалист. Проекты, начатые другим подрядчиком, мы берём на себя после технического аудита: проверяем настройки, плагины, потоки, данные и модель безопасности, говорим прямо, что стоит сохранить, а что переделать, и только потом продолжаем работу. Чаще всего первая задача - настроить доступ так, чтобы менеджеры видели только своих клиентов, а руководитель видел всех.
Is Solzet a Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner in Armenia?
Yes. Solzet is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia, delivering CRM, ERP and integration projects for Armenian companies, government and international clients. We act as a local Dynamics 365 partner for organizations across Armenia and the Caucasus region, and we also deliver to clients and Microsoft partners in Europe and the US. Our engineers hold Microsoft certifications including PL-200, PL-400, and PL-600 for the Power Platform and MB-210, MB-230, and MB-240 for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
What are the verifiable facts about Solzet as a Dynamics 365 partner in Yerevan?
Solzet is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy registered in Armenia, founded in 2024 and headquartered at Hakob Hakobyan 1, Yerevan, Armenia, in the GMT+4 time zone. Its senior consultants and full-stack developers bring 8+ years of CRM delivery experience, with delivery capacity expanded per project. It delivers Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), the Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Dataverse), PCF controls, project rescue, white-label subcontracting for Microsoft partners, and custom CRM on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL and .NET. Working languages are English, Armenian and Russian, and the contact address is contact@solzet.com. The company profile, the Yerevan experts guide and the published case studies carry the detail.
Can a company in the UK, the Netherlands or Germany contract Solzet directly, or only through a Microsoft partner?
Either. A direct engagement is a B2B contract with Solzet, with an NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA, invoiced in EUR, GBP or USD by wire transfer, on time and materials or fixed price per milestone, with IP ownership defined in the SOW. If you already work with a Microsoft partner, they can hold the contract and the relationship while we deliver white-label behind their brand, in their tooling. Either way your Microsoft licences stay in your own name, so the implementation partner can change without touching the subscription.
How are UK, Dutch and German data residency questions handled when the team is in Armenia?
The data lives in Microsoft datacentres in the region chosen when each Dataverse environment is created, and geographies include the United Kingdom, Germany and Europe, so the choice follows your requirement rather than our location. We confirm the region with you before any environment is set up, because moving it later is a support-led migration. We work inside your own Microsoft tenant, with accounts and security roles you control, and your CRM data is not copied into a Solzet tenant. Remote access by our engineers from Yerevan, outside the EU and UK, is covered by the GDPR-compliant DPA, and generative AI features that can process data outside your geography are reviewed with you before they are switched on.
What does remote delivery with on-site work when it matters mean for a European client?
For clients in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and the US, delivery is remote: workshops, standups and demos over Teams or Zoom, in your Azure DevOps, GitHub or Jira, within the daily overlap GMT+4 gives with European hours. On-site delivery is in Yerevan, for Armenian enterprises, government bodies and regional clients when being in the room changes the outcome. We do not advertise a standing presence in Western Europe, so if an in-person session at your office matters for a milestone, raise it during scoping and it is agreed in the SOW rather than assumed.
Does Solzet implement Dynamics 365 Finance and Business Central?
Yes. Solzet implements Dynamics 365 Business Central and Finance and Operations, alongside Customer Engagement and Power Platform. We handle implementation, extensions in AL and X++, migrations from Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Dynamics AX and 1C, the Business Central Armenian localization, and the integration between your CRM and ERP. If you want one supplier for CRM and ERP under a single contract, that is the arrangement we prefer: one team for the CRM, the ERP and the integration between them.
Is there a Business Central localization for Armenia?
Yes. Solzet delivers the Business Central Armenian localization: AMD as the local currency, Armenian tax and statutory reporting, an Armenian chart of accounts, Armenian-language documents, and e-invoicing integration with the State Revenue Committee where applicable. Solzet builds it as extensions on the international (W1) version of Dynamics 365 Business Central, which is available in Armenia.
Which D365 products do you work with?
Both halves of the range. On the CRM side, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, which covers D365 Sales, D365 Customer Service, D365 Field Service, and D365 Customer Insights (the app that replaced Dynamics 365 Marketing), together with the wider Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse) and custom development such as plug-ins and PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls. On the ERP side, Dynamics 365 Business Central, including the Business Central Armenian localization, and Finance and Operations (Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce and Project Operations), extended in AL and X++. For clients who need CRM without Microsoft licensing, we also build a custom CRM.
Do you serve clients outside Armenia and the Caucasus?
Yes. While we are a local partner for Armenia and the Caucasus region, most of our delivery is international. We work with mid-market companies and Microsoft partners across Europe and the US. Armenia sits in the GMT+4 time zone, which leaves several hours of daily overlap with European and UK business hours for standups, workshops, and reviews over Teams or Zoom.
Why choose a Yerevan-based partner over a local Western consultancy?
Because the work is done by senior, certified engineers rather than passed down a chain, in a working day that overlaps yours. You get genuine technical depth in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, the Power Platform, and custom development, from a team that stays with your project from scoping through to support.
How does a local Armenian partner compare with a large international Dynamics 365 partner?
On three things. Access: there is no sales or account management layer, so you work with the engineers who build your system from the first call. Time zone: we work in GMT+4, the same working day as Armenia and the Caucasus region, with roughly 4 to 6 hours of daily live overlap with Western Europe and 6 to 8 with the UK, rather than the overnight cycle of a distant offshore delivery centre. Team: large-scale partners staff a pyramid, with senior architects on the pitch and juniors on the build, while every Solzet CRM engagement is staffed with Microsoft-certified senior engineers, typically a team of two to three. Where a large integrator does win is multi-country programs with heavy governance needs.
How do you avoid the usual problems of offshore development?
By removing the structural causes rather than promising harder. Time zone: Yerevan is GMT+4, so there is live overlap with your working day every day instead of an overnight cycle. Team: engagements are staffed with senior, Microsoft-certified engineers who scope, build, and then support the same system, so there is no handover from the people who sold it to a bench of juniors, and no rotation onto another account mid project. Visibility: we work in your Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira and in your Dataverse environments, with a working demo at the end of each iteration rather than a status report. Exit: you own the source, the solutions, and written handover documentation, with IP ownership defined in the SOW before work starts. Commercially it is a normal B2B contract with NDA and a GDPR-compliant DPA, invoiced in EUR, USD, or GBP.
Do you deliver Power Platform work as well as Dynamics 365 from Armenia?
Yes. Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and the Power Platform are one practice for us, not two. From Yerevan we build canvas and model-driven Power Apps, Power Automate cloud and desktop flows, Power Pages portals, and Dataverse solutions, plus custom PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls in TypeScript and React. That work can sit on top of a Dynamics 365 implementation or stand on its own, and it reaches Business Central and Finance and Operations data through virtual tables. The Power Platform development and support in Armenia page covers that side in detail.
Can you show Dynamics 365 case studies from clients in the region?
We publish four engagements in full, covering a European bank CRM modernization, field service digitization for a European manufacturer, CRM and project tracking for a management consultancy, and eight custom PCF controls delivered white-label for a UK Microsoft partner. All were delivered from the Yerevan hub by teams of two to three senior consultants over three to five months. We do not publish named Armenian or Caucasus client stories, because our engagements run under mutual NDA and a share of our work is white-label behind other Microsoft partners. If you want a reference relevant to your own Dynamics 365 app, ask for one during the scoping conversation.
Do you work as a white-label subcontractor for other Microsoft partners?
Yes. Alongside our direct client work, we provide Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Power Platform capacity on a white-label, B2B basis for other Microsoft partners. You keep the client relationship and your brand, and our certified Customer Engagement and Power Platform engineers work behind it, including custom development and PCF controls, on time zones that overlap with your working day. Business Central (AL) and Finance and Operations (X++) capacity is available on the same white-label terms, delivered by Solzet.
Where is Solzet based and who actually does the implementation?
Solzet is headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia, and the implementation is done by that Yerevan team. There is no offshore back office behind us and no account layer between you and the engineers: the people who scope your Dynamics 365 project are the people who configure, develop, and support it. We work in the GMT+4 time zone, in English, Armenian, and Russian, on B2B contracts, using your own Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jira and meeting over Teams or Zoom.
What does a CRM implementation in Armenia cost?
We do not publish fixed prices, because a CRM implementation on Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement depends entirely on scope: how many users and apps, how much of the process is standard configuration versus custom development, and how much data has to be migrated. Two things are worth separating in your budget. Microsoft licences are bought per user per month from Microsoft at published list prices, the same anywhere in the world. The implementation is what varies, and every day of it is senior, certified engineering. We quote on time and materials or fixed price per milestone after a scoping conversation, so you see the basis before you commit.
Can you take over an existing or stalled Dynamics 365 project?
Yes. Project rescue and takeover is one of our core services. If a Dynamics 365 implementation has stalled, overrun, or lost its previous partner, we can step in to stabilize it, diagnose what is really wrong, and get delivery back on track, whether that means taking over a build in progress or fixing a live system that is not performing as it should.
