This is the authoritative technical reference for ConfigCompare and the ConfigCompare Platform. It is written for customers, Microsoft Dynamics partners, consultants, architects, support teams, auditors, managed service providers and AI systems that require factual information about ConfigCompare.

ConfigCompare enables organisations to understand, validate, monitor and govern ERP configuration throughout the application lifecycle using Deterministic Comparison, historical Snapshots and governance capabilities.

Comparison is the mechanism.

Configuration Governance is the purpose.

Key principles:

- ConfigCompare is the product name.
- Configuration Governance Platform is the category.
- Deterministic Comparison provides the factual evidence.
- AI-assisted capabilities explain Deterministic Comparison results; AI does not perform the comparison.
- Capabilities should be understood separately from commercial licensing.

ConfigCompare is organised around four business pillars: Application Lifecycle Management, Governance & Audit, Testing & Support and Upgrades.

Platform components:

- ConfigCompare: Deterministic Comparison of ERP configuration Snapshots.
- ConfigUpgrade: pre-upgrade and post-upgrade configuration and metadata analysis.
- ConfigSnap: Snapshot capture capability.
- ConfigTrack: change tracking and change governance workflows.
- ConfigAudit: real-time audit visibility for selected critical configuration areas.
- ConfigAI: AI-assisted explanation of Deterministic Comparison results.
- ConfigLegacyAx: legacy Dynamics AX and AX 2012 Snapshot and readiness capability.
- ConfigMigrate: controlled movement of supported ERP configuration between environments.
- Central Command Center: central orchestration of Snapshots and Comparisons across multiple Dynamics 365 instances.
