What is the Upgrade Buddies program?
The Metam Upgrade Buddies program is a partnership-driven service designed to make Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations version updates simple, reliable, and valuable. We handle planning, testing, documentation, and optimization so every upgrade runs smoothly, with no impact on your operations.
Why this upgrade matters to your team
Behind every upgrade is a group of people trying to balance project work with day-to-day responsibilities. When Microsoft release an upgrade, the only answer is to say “yes”. It can feel like taking an extra risk when your team is already managing competing deadlines and limited resources. The Upgrade Buddies program is designed to respect your team’s time, capacity, and expertise.
Protecting your budget
Handling upgrades entirely in-house can appear cost-effective on paper, but the reality often includes rework, overtime, delays, and the cost of redirecting your strongest people away from strategic work. We help reduce these hidden expenses through careful planning, complete test coverage, and early issue resolution, giving you a more predictable investment and better value from D365.
Turnkey delivery from start to finish
You get one accountable partner from initial scoping to post-go-live follow-up. Every phase is mapped out, tracked, and communicated, so you are never left wondering what is happening or what comes next.
Giving your team time back
Your internal experts know your business best. Instead of asking them to coordinate every detail of an upgrade, we take on the heavy lifting. Your people stay focused on running operations, while we manage the schedule, testing cycles, and communication.
How our process works
We have a proven, collaborative approach that keeps every stakeholder aligned and every update under control. Our aim is to deliver a calm, collaborative process that replaces any upgrade anxiety with confidence and control.
We embed ourselves in your team early, aligning timelines and responsibilities so your upgrade starts on a solid foundation.
Our Upgrade Buddies assess your existing test scenarios and close any gaps for full coverage.
Every scenario is executed in a controlled environment and tracked in DevOps for full visibility.
