GovCon365 Project Operations: Project Delivery for Government Contractors in Dynamics 365
Plan, staff, deliver, and bill government projects in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations, connected to GovCon365 ERP on Business Central. We add the government-contracting pieces, then implement and support the whole system.
Why GovCon365 Project Operations
The Work Runs in One Place. The Money Runs in Another.
Most government contractors plan projects in one tool, collect timesheets in another and rebuild the picture in accounting at month-end. Program managers rarely see what's funded, and finance rarely sees what's planned.
GovCon365 Project Operations puts plans, people, time and expenses in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations. Approved costs flow to GovCon365 ERP on Business Central, where project accounting, billing and indirect rates already live.

- Project plans in spreadsheets that never match the funded value
- Staffing decided by whoever answers the email first
- Timesheets chased every Friday, then corrected again before billing
- Expense reports built from a pile of receipts at the end of the trip
- Program managers who hear about a mod after the work is done

Copilot and AI agents
Let Agents Handle the Timesheet Chase
Microsoft is building AI agents into Dynamics 365 Project Operations for time, expenses and approvals. Fewer late entries means cleaner billing at month-end.
- Preview
Time Entry Agent
Drafts time entries from the work people did, sends reminders and adds context, so hours are captured on time and billed accurately.
- Preview
Expense Agent
Turns receipts, emails and trip details into draft expense reports, applying your expense policy as it goes.
- Preview
Activity Approvals Agent
Flags only the time and expense entries that need a person's review, so approvers clear the backlog faster and policy still holds.
Copilot for Project Managers
Ask Copilot to draft a status report, assess project risks or build a first task plan, then edit it the way you would any other draft.
Custom Agents in Copilot Studio
Build agents around your own project workflows and data, such as answering staffing questions or checking a charge against the task's funding.
About the previews
Microsoft labels these agents as preview. We'll tell you what's available in your cloud today, Commercial, GCC or GCC High, and plan the rest of your rollout with you.
