Checklist
Consider the following checklist.
- Make sure that integration strategy is available from an early stage of the implementation.
- Make sure that the program strategy addresses integration and ensures resource allocation.
- Approach the integration patterns choice by starting from their functional requirements and not the technical specifications.
- Choose integration patterns that are suited for the requirements and not because of the familiarity with the technology.
- Consider peak volumes when you’re designing integrations.
- Test integration in a Tier2+ environment to validate that they’re correctly set up for the Microsoft-managed infrastructure.
- Keep in mind that add-ins that are used for some integration scenarios are available only on sandboxes (Tier2+).
- Don’t try to replace the integration flows 1:1 without getting a global vision when you’re upgrading or migrating Dynamics AX 2012, or Dynamics AX 2009. Instead, replan your integration strategy according to the new capabilities that are available in Dynamics 365.
- Try to align the Dynamics 365 integration strategy with the company-wide integration strategy as much as reasonably possible.
- Prioritize standard and Microsoft integrations over custom integrations.
