Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director Service

Microsoft Dynamics delivery challenges rarely stem from a single build or extension. They arise when multiple teams, partners and workstreams lose alignment, priorities compete and no one owns delivery at a senior, end-to-end level.

The Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director Service from Cogent2 provides senior, part time leadership for organisations running Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or Dynamics 365 where delivery spans custom development, extensions, integrations and optimisation. This role operates above individual teams, focusing on alignment, delivery governance and ensuring Dynamics investment delivers operational and commercial value.

It is designed for businesses with scale or complexity, where Heads of Development or Tech Leads exist but lack a single senior owner to coordinate priorities, manage risk and maintain delivery momentum.

Cogent2’s Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Directors work inside the organisation, partnering closely with finance, operations and technology leadership. Alongside senior oversight, you gain access to a joined-up technical and integration team that can execute, refine and stabilise delivery where required.

When to hire a Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director

This service is particularly well suited to organisations that:

• Run Microsoft Dynamics as their core ERP across multiple functions

• Have parallel Dynamics development, integration and optimisation workstreams

• Experience delivery conflicts, delays or unclear prioritisation

• Rely on partners without strong internal delivery ownership

• Need senior Dynamics delivery leadership on a part time basis

Hiring a Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director brings clarity, coordination and accountability across all Dynamics delivery activity.

The Cogent2 Difference

Cogent2 works alongside Microsoft Dynamics and connected platforms so our Fractional Development Directors can focus entirely on execution, coordination and delivery outcomes. We do not sell software. We take ownership of how Dynamics delivery supports the wider business.

By combining Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director leadership with a joined-up technical team, Cogent2 removes the gap between ERP ambition and reliable delivery.

Strengthen Microsoft Dynamics delivery leadership

ERP delivery fails when ownership is fragmented.
