Dynamics 365 - Developer

A developer builds what standard functionality does not cover: add-ons, integrations, reports, and customisations. The development language varies across product areas, for example AL in Business Central, X++ in Finance and Supply Chain Management, and JavaScript/TypeScript or C# plugins in Sales, Customer Insights, Customer Service, and other Power Platform-based applications. Therefore, select a product in the filter to see partners with the right experience.

What the role does

  • Develops extensions and customisations using the product's technology, such as AL, X++ or JavaScript/TypeScript/C# plugins.
  • Builds integrations via APIs and services.
  • Creates reports and printouts beyond standard functionality.
  • Adapts custom code during Microsoft updates.

When the role is typically needed

  • When a business requirement is not met by standard functionality or off-the-shelf add-ons.
  • For integrations with webshops, PIM or other systems.
  • When legacy customisations need to be rebuilt or maintained.
  • When migrating data from legacy systems.

Typical responsibilities and deliverables

  • Technical design, development and testing of customisations.
  • Integrations, APIs and data exchanges.
  • Version control and code review.
  • Technical documentation and handover.
  • Adapting custom code for upgrades.

What buyers should check

  • Does the partner have experience with your product's technology and languages, for example AL, X++ or JavaScript/TypeScript/C# plugins?
  • How is it ensured that the code handles Microsoft updates?
  • Who owns the code, and can another partner take it over?
  • Are there documentation and test procedures for the add-ons?
  • How is development work priced, and what is included in maintenance?

Common risks and misunderstandings

  • Extensive custom add-ons make updates costly.

    Always try standard functionality and off-the-shelf add-ons first.

  • Knowledge of the customisations sits with only one person.

    Requirements for documentation and shared access to code repositories.

  • Integrations are built without an owner on your side.

    Appoint a maintenance lead before development starts.
