I just want to talk to somebody!!!
“The Works” has been a game changer for our massive CRM project. Before, our internal team was backlogged with customization and service requests, ideas, and issues. But now, the Forceworks team collects and resolves them for us, freeing up our time for other tasks. We love not worrying about tracking the hours and dollars with the predictable monthly fee model.

“The Works is modern, you know, and that allows us to continue the dynamic nature of our business when we have business critical needs. It gives us predictability in our finances and that makes the finance team very happy to know that there’s this cost that we expect monthly.”

So that’s something we just didn’t even know was available until we stumbled upon Forceworks. So that’s far and away the most attractive thing about them, but I will also say that the money thing is great. We can plan it out and it was really easy to get approved.”

“Forceworks, and specifically Vlad and Steve have been awesome partners in this whole endeavor. We talk regularly, last time we talked about future-proofing. We’re just super excited to see where Forceworks and VeeFriends go in the future and super honored to be part of their new modern subscription model.”
What is “The Works”?

This model is especially suitable for small to corporate-sized organizations looking to optimize business benefits at a predictable cost.
- “How can my business improve?” Solved with our Monthly Principals call
- “How can I increase adoption?” Solved with our Unlimited Training
- “How can I control my costs?” Solved with our Capacity Management and Licensing Optimization
- “How can I…?” Solved with “The Works” from Forceworks!
“The Works”, as the name suggests, encompasses everything except development code. However, with Microsoft’s advancements in the ‘low-code’ platform, this service meets the needs of most customers!
Managing a business is demanding enough without having to worry about a ‘System’ that simply performs… consistently. Imagine a system specifically designed, constructed, and maintained for your unique business requirements. No haggling over changes or monitoring accumulating billable hours. This service removes the entire tech burden, allowing you to concentrate on your business objectives.
Consider the time, resources, and stress you’ve already spent, or might spend, on deploying, configuring, supporting, extending, and maintaining a system to achieve your goals, whether they be increasing sales, reducing costs, enhancing customer satisfaction, or any other original targets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to questions asked about “The Works from Forceworks”
blank
This sounds too good to be true, what's the Catch?
There is No Catch! This includes everything but Development Code, and for 90% of customers, there will not be a need for any development code. Plus, we have no incentive to “Push” development code. We make it available for those few customers who have a legitimate need for development code.
Why haven't I heard of this kind of Services Model before?
Because we invented it!
Forceworks has been a pioneer for as long as we have been around. To us, given where technology sits today, this was the most logical next model to come forward.
We were just the first consulting firm confident enough to offer it!
We wrote a 33-page guide to Modern Service Models! Get your copy here
How is this Better than any other Services Model?
Simple. By eliminating scope and hours from the relationship, our customers maximize the value of their solutions, taking full advantage of everything Microsoft Business Applications offer to improve their business outcomes.
Who can Access the Included Services?
You will decide!
Typically, for Support and Training, all of your internal users can create requests.
There is normally a smaller group that oversees the direction.
What if one of my Users Requests a Change?
Users can freely submit Questions, Report Errors, and Suggest Improvements.
However, any request that would lead to altering the functionality of the system, will require approval from a designated person(s) on your team.
How do we Communicate?
Again, Your Choice!
For each Customer, we will set up a dedicated communication channel. Either an exclusive distribution list (Yes, old-school :)). Any user you want to have access to the list can be directed to a form on our site to be added to the list.
A considerable advantage is that every user can see, follow along, and contribute to every item. Our Forceworks Principals also monitor this feed.
While this might seem like an “old-school” method, Microsoft uses the same method to communicate with MVPs!
Or we can set up a dedicated Microsoft Team if you prefer.
Or you can create the list or Team and add our team to it. It’s your choice.
What is not Included?
Not much!
With Microsoft’s advances with the platform around “low-code”, our specialists can most likely handle anything needed. It is a much rarer occasion where code development is required today.
“Customizations”, even advanced customizations, do not mean “Code Development” very often.
However, “Code Development” is specifically excluded from the subscription.
What if I Need Something that is not Included?
On the rare occasion where actual “Code Development” is either required or deemed more efficient, Subscribers can purchase the development hours they want using our traditional “Support by Blocks” model at “The Works” discounted rates.
Do you offer a discount for Non-Profits?
Absolutely!
Forceworks offers a 15% discount on all services to Microsoft Approved Non-Profit Organizations.
What is the Term of the Subscription Agreement?
The Subscription Agreement is for a one-year term, and the subscription automatically renews unless canceled.

Well, this is awkward…
I could have SWORN you were looking for Cost Predictability in the support and evolution of your business applications.
But now you’re leaving without even knowing the surprisingly low cost?
You were a minute away!
At least grab our 33-page Guide to Modern Services Models…
What about Development Code?
But we also have customers specifically looking for highly advanced capabilities knowing that code will be necessary.
To address this type of Customer requirement, we have created two options.
Code Projects
If you have an occasional need for code development, our Support by Blocks model will likely be the most economical approach. When purchased alongside our Works model, the hours are available for use for as long as you are a Works Subscriber at Discounted rates. Of course, you can purchase blocks as a non-subscriber at our standard rates.
Code as a Service
If you know you will have a continuous need for code development, our Industry-First Code as a Service model could be a more economical approach. Available as an add-on to the Works Subscription in 40 or 80 hour per month blocks at our absolute lowest cost. You can add Code as a Service using our Instant Quote Generator.
