Deployment models

Local comparison. Central governance when you need it.

ConfigCompare keeps deterministic comparison inside the product engine while supporting evidence storage, multiple environments and central orchestration.

Standard deployment

Each installation owns its comparison logic.

ConfigSnap captures configuration from D365 F&SCM, Azure Storage organises the evidence artefacts, and the ConfigCompare engine performs the Deterministic Comparison.

  • Installed through the standard D365 F&SCM deployable-package method.
  • One or more Azure Storage Accounts retain and organise ConfigCompare artefacts.
  • Comparison remains deterministic and within the ConfigCompare engine.

Centralised deployment

Coordinate a wider Dynamics estate from one governance point.

Central Command Center requests Snapshots and comparisons across installations. Each ConfigCompare engine still performs its own local comparison logic.

The operational flow

From installation to governed action.

The product flow separates capture, factual comparison, interpretation and organisational response.
