Challenge Accepted: Activating Digital Transformation for Financial Services with Microsoft Solutions

Activating digital transformation for Financial Services with Microsoft solutions:
Told by the technology experts who drove them
Like most technical consultancies, HSO has very smart people whose goal is to deliver solutions that make it easier to do business for our clients. Every day, these technical heroes take on challenges with enthusiasm, curiosity, and often, downright stubbornness. “No” simply is not in their vocabulary, which is why they always find a way.
But we don’t often hear from these big brains, partly because they’re busy doing their jobs and we’d like to change that. In our Challenge Accepted blog posts, you’ll hear directly from HSO’s consultants and solution architects who will share stories of challenges they have accepted and conquered.
Our consultants talk about:
- CAPTRUST, a $300B AUM National Advisory Firm, with Dynamics 365 Finance
- A $40B AUM Asset Management Firm with Dynamics 365 Sales and Service
- A $2.0Tr AUM Global Asset Management Firm Using Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365
- A Commercial Insurance Benefits Broker & Wealth Manager with Dynamics 365
- A $100B AUM Asset Management Firm using Dynamics 365 Finance & Sales and Service
- A $70Bn AUM Private Equity Firm using Dynamics 365 Service, Power Platform and Teams

Mary shares her experience working with HSO’s team to move from Dynamics GP and build out a solution on Dynamics 365 Finance that not only supports their aggressive growth-by-acquisition model but allows them to plan ahead and continue their digital transformation.
