ERP Functional Consulting Intern

Description

We are looking for a motivated intern to explore how AI can support the work of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP functional consultant.

AI is increasingly shaping how Business Applications projects are delivered, and within Avanade, DnA (Deliver & Accelerate) provides the delivery framework for these initiatives. In this internship, you will help evaluate how AI powered capabilities can support everyday ERP consulting activities such as requirements analysis, functional design, testing support, and knowledge retrieval.

Working closely with experienced ERP consultants and relevant internal communities, you will identify realistic ERP scenarios, test AI assisted capabilities and compare the results against expected functional outcomes and underlying project information. The goal is to assess where AI adds value,

where consultant judgment remains essential, and how practical guidance can be created for future project teams.

• AI assisted consulting support

• DnA delivery framework

Your assignment

• Identify ERP consulting activities where AI agents can provide meaningful support

• Document limitations, incorrect outputs, and improvement opportunities using clear

examples

• Identify where AI provides real value and where consultant judgment remains essential

• Develop practical recommendations and short guidance for consultants using the tested

capabilities

• Share findings and demonstrate relevant scenarios in community sessions

• A structured and analytical way of working

• The ability to question AI generated results rather than accepting them without review

Join Avanade’s Business Applications team, where we bring together business understanding, technology, and delivery expertise to help clients transform the way they work. In this internship, you will work with experienced ERP consultants to explore how AI can support real consulting activities in a Dynamics 365 ERP environment.

You will contribute to the evaluation of AI assisted capabilities within the DnA delivery framework, helping to identify where they add value, where they fall short, and how they can be used responsibly in a consulting context. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced professionals while contributing to work that has clear practical relevance for the Business Applications community.
