The problem with your current vendor

D365 DevOps remains massively manual at most integrators

  • No CI build on pull requests: regressions are discovered in UAT, days later.
  • LCS deployments done by hand, no automatic rollback on failure.
  • Anarchic branching: main, dev, hotfix with no merge policy or protection.
  • Automated tests non-existent or tucked away in a project corner, never run.
How SKALP solves it

CI/CD pipelines ready for D365 F&O, delivered as versioned YAML

  • YAML build pipeline: compilation, XppBP validation, SysTest unit tests, deployable package generation.
  • LCS release pipeline: package upload, deployment on target environment, post-deployment check.
  • Documented Git branching strategy (trunk-based or GitFlow) with Azure DevOps branch policies.
  • Teams or email integration for build / release notifications.

Frequently asked questions

Why automate D365 F&O DevOps when Microsoft provides LCS?+
LCS handles deployment but not upstream code quality. Without CI/CD on the Azure DevOps side, every release ships regressions discovered late. A complete pipeline reduces commit-to-production time from days to hours.
Does Skalp AI access my LCS environment to deploy?+
No. Skalp AI delivers pipeline code into your Azure DevOps repo. Your IT team runs and deploys. We have no direct access to your Microsoft tenant, your LCS environments or your business data.
Which branching strategy do you recommend for D365 F&O?+
For most D365 teams, trunk-based with short feature branches (< 3 days) and protected merge to main offers the best speed/quality trade-off. GitFlow only makes sense for very large teams (10+ devs) with quarterly releases.
How much does setting up a D365 DevOps pipeline cost at an SI?+
A D365 DevOps engagement at a large SI is billed €15,000 to €40,000 (10 to 25 person-days at €1,500/day). Skalp AI delivers pipelines per ticket: €200 each, so typically €600 to €1,000 for a full CI/CD setup.
