Yes. PlanAutomate can replace Dynamics 365 Project Operations for project-centric companies that want project management, project financials, forecasting, costing, governance, resource planning, and reporting inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.
PlanAutomate is not built on Project Operations. It is built inside D365 Finance, which avoids the CRM/ERP split and gives companies a simpler architecture for connecting project execution with financial control.
It is also flexible. Companies can start with essential project business capabilities and grow into deeper planning, forecasting, costing, governance, and resource management as needed.
