The client, a well-established enterprise with a sophisticated AWS footprint, had long optimized their systems for performance, scalability, and security in a single-cloud environment. Their teams were deeply fluent in AWS tools, processes, and governance models. 

However, the business required a new ERP system—Microsoft Dynamics 365—which would live in Microsoft Azure. This presented multiple challenges: 

• Establishing a secure and scalable Azure environment from scratch 

• Integrating Dynamics 365 into the existing AWS ecosystem 

• Transitioning from batch-based data transfers to real-time synchronization 

The implementation would require more than just infrastructure—it demanded orchestration across multiple systems, stakeholders, and architectural paradigms. . 

Problem: 

While the internal architecture team could lay the initial groundwork in Azure, leadership quickly realized the complexity of integration extended beyond their in-house expertise. 

The stakes were high: 

• Dynamics 365 would become the system of record for critical operational data 

• Downstream systems in AWS relied on that data for near real-time decision-making 

• Batch processes were no longer sufficient—the business needed low-latency, event-driven data pipelines 

With timelines tight and performance expectations high, the client sought a partner who could deliver under pressure, adjust in real time, and uphold enterprise-grade standards 

How Kenway Helped: 

Kenway entered the engagement as a hands-on partner—collaborative, flexible, and focused on results. With deep technical expertise in Azure, cloud integration, and data architecture and a client-first mindset, Kenway didn’t just implement; we co-navigated complexity alongside the client. 

Key Contributions: 

• Designed and executed real-time data integration architecture across AWS and Azure 

• Established secure, compliant Azure infrastructure tailored to ERP needs 

• Delivered adaptive implementation in response to evolving requirements and unforeseen challenges 

• Worked shoulder-to-shoulder with internal teams to build trust, resilience, and internal capability 

Key Principles That Drove Success 

Throughout the engagement, Kenway modeled the behaviors that separate successful transformations from failed ones: 

• Adaptability Over Rigidity 
  We pivoted quickly when initial designs met unexpected roadblocks—prioritizing outcomes over ego. 

• Client-Centered Focus 
  Every decision was aligned with client goals, not just technical feasibility. 

• Professionalism Under Pressure 
  We maintained focus and composure even as project complexity intensified. 

• Commitment to Long-Term Quality 
  Shortcuts were avoided in favor of sustainable, scalable solutions. 

The Outcome: A Foundation for Future Growth 

The result was a fully integrated, multi-cloud architecture that supported real-time data flow from Dynamics 365 in Azure to subscribing systems in AWS. With this transformation: 

• The client gained operational agility that batch processes could never support 

• Modern infrastructure enabled business-critical performance across applications 

• Internal teams gained confidence in managing and expanding a multi-cloud environment 

The organization future-proofed their IT foundation for upcoming modernization efforts
