Microsoft Dynamics 365 – Connecting Operations and Project Management

BrightWork 365 integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 to bridge operational systems (ERP, CRM, Supply Chain, Field Service) with project and portfolio management.

Manufacturing-Specific Benefits:

  • Link production schedules, inventory data, and financial forecasts from Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain into BrightWork 365 projects for real-time cost and resource tracking.
  • Connect customer contracts, sales opportunities, and service requests in Dynamics 365 to initiate and track related projects in BrightWork 365.
  • Automatically create installation, maintenance, or improvement projects in BrightWork 365 based on work orders from Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Microsoft Dataverse & Entra ID – Secure, Scalable Foundations

  • Data governance, permissions, and identity management align with enterprise-grade security via Entra ID and Dataverse.

  • Ensure secure access, role-based permissions, and mobile access for teams on the plant floor.

Why Integrations Matter for Manufacturing PPM

  • End-to-End Visibility: Teams from R&D to plant ops to leadership get consistent access to updates, dashboards, and documentation.
  • Reduced Admin & Faster Delivery: Automate request intake, approvals, and status tracking to focus on production outcomes, not paperwork.
  • Role-Based Data Access: From engineers to PMOs to executives, everyone accesses what they need through Entra ID-backed access controls.
  • Scalable, IT-Light Flexibility: No heavy coding—use Power Platform tools to adapt and grow your PPM systems as your maturity evolves.

Common Manufacturing Use Cases

  • R&D Requests & Project Intake: Power Automate routes requests to PMO, auto-creates project sites when approved.

  • Multi-Plant Project Oversight: Power BI consolidates project data across plants into centralized dashboards.

  • ERP-Linked Cost Tracking: Pulls cost and budget updates directly from Dynamics 365 Finance into project dashboards.

  • Compliance-Driven Project Stages: Stage-gate approvals managed through Power Automate, tracked in Teams, documented in SharePoint.

  • Cross-Functional Team Updates: Discussions, files, and approvals shared in Teams project channels to keep everyone informed.

PMO – Innovia

“The ‘live’ project Dashboards allow the user to visualise the shape and health of the Portfolio, drilling down into detail if required, and with individual Status Reports the Project Leads can share progress with those outside the project team.”
