ABN AMRO | Banking and Financial Services | 22267 | $10.4B | Netherlands | Microsoft | Microsoft 365 | Collaboration | 2020 |
In 2020, ABN AMRO engaged Avanade to operationalize its Microsoft 365 Collaboration platform after a recent platform migration, creating a continuous capability to surface and adopt Microsoft 365 updates across the organization. The initiative focused on ensuring Microsoft 365 remained evergreen so employees across the bank could exploit the latest digital workplace features and security improvements, aligning the platform with ABN AMRO’s Digital Workplace and Products functions.
Avanade implemented a suite of proprietary management tools to govern Microsoft 365, including a Migration Factory, Microsoft 365 scanner, and automated administrative applications. These components were configured to automate routine administration, provide intelligent monitoring of configuration drift and feature adoption, and maintain platform hygiene at scale while keeping operational costs under control.
The engagement covered application and infrastructure stewardship, delivered by dedicated local and offshore DevOps teams working alongside ABN AMRO staff. This operational model supported enterprise wide Collaboration usage across the bank, and integrated DevOps practices into day to day platform management to accelerate feature rollout and incident response without naming external system integrations.
Governance shifted from traditional outsourced support toward a DevOps partnership model under the bank’s Apollo strategy, with Avanade providing end to end support and configuration management. Reported outcomes in the engagement included improved efficiency in Microsoft 365 administration, a sustained evergreen platform posture, and adoption of DevOps as a repeatable standard across the enterprise, a direction endorsed by Herman Hellenberg Head of Digital Workplace - Products at ABN AMRO BANK N.V.

BMZ Group US | Professional Services | 600 | $110M | United States | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations | ERP Financial | 2021 |
In 2021, BMZ Group US implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations as its ERP Financial platform to harmonize ERP processes across its manufacturing operations. BMZ Group is a high-tech battery systems manufacturer headquartered in Germany with locations in the United States, France, Poland, China and Japan, and rapid growth had left the organization with several disconnected systems that limited visibility into materials and shop floor capacity. The Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations deployment was scoped to align production planning with available materials and capacity to better meet customer demands.
Avanade led the project using Avanade Intelligent Enterprise Solutions AIES to deliver a complete ERP implementation, with nearly 100 percent of the new end-to-end processes and functionality delivered out of the box. The implementation configured core finance and operations workflows inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations and introduced a specialized production preparation garage, providing a simplified and intuitive interface for employees to control logistics and production work directly from the Dynamics 365 platform. This configuration emphasized production preparation and replanning capabilities consistent with ERP Financial operational terminology.
Operational coverage focused on production planning and shop-floor preparatory workflows within BMZ Group US manufacturing operations, centralizing process orchestration for planning and replanning production flows based on customer demand. The implementation positioned Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations as the transactional backbone for materials visibility and capacity alignment across affected sites.
Governance centered on harmonizing ERP process models and standardizing end-to-end workflows across sites, with Avanade configuring process controls and user-facing workflows to support shop-floor decision making. As a result of the deployment, employees can now quickly prepare or replan production flows in a seamless way using Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
