Frequently Asked Questions.

On 27 April 2022, MATCH Hospitality announced that it had selected Intwo as its Microsoft implementation and support partner for operations in Doha, Qatar. The company had established a new entity in Qatar to handle the end-to-end implementation of various famous sports events held in the country. Intwo will deliver end-to-end training and support for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations ERP roll-out, replacing MATCH Hospitality’s existing AX 2013 R3 solution and supporting its expanded Qatar operations.

MATCH Hospitality is a global industry leader in sports hospitality, recognised as a renowned and trusted authority across production, marketing, sales, customer service, and product development for major sports events. The company supports the end-to-end delivery of famous sports events around the world, including a new entity established in Doha, Qatar to look after sports events held in the country. Their ongoing commitment to clients and customers remains central to how the business operates and grows internationally.

MATCH Hospitality chose Intwo because it needed an experienced Microsoft partner with a proven implementation track record to support its new Qatar operations. Finance Manager Rami Khattar specifically called out three strengths that made Intwo the best fit: a well-defined working methodology, deep understanding of the Qatar market, and the localisation expertise pertinent to the country. The project plays a major role in MATCH Hospitality’s business processes and supporting the goals the company has set for the coming years in the region.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is a cloud-based ERP designed for medium to large enterprises managing complex finance, operations, supply chain, and project workflows in one unified platform. The system provides a manageable production environment, easy upgrades, customisation flexibility, and an improved user experience compared with older AX deployments. For organisations like MATCH Hospitality moving from AX 2013 R3, F&O brings modern cloud architecture, ongoing Microsoft updates, and richer integration with the broader Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

MATCH Hospitality was previously running AX 2013 R3 to support basic finance functions, but the older platform no longer fit the company’s expanded needs as it set up its new office in Doha. Moving to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations gave the business a more manageable production environment, easier upgrades, simpler customisations, and a noticeably improved user experience for employees. The shift also lays the foundation for richer integrations and ongoing innovation as the Qatar operation continues to scale.

Upgrading from Microsoft Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations involves more than a simple version bump. The process covers requirements review, data migration from the legacy AX environment, redesign of customisations to fit modern cloud architecture, integration with other systems, user training, and a controlled cutover. AX 2013 R3 customers like MATCH Hospitality typically gain manageable production environments, simpler future upgrades, and a stronger user experience. Working with an experienced Microsoft partner removes most of the implementation risk.

Sports hospitality is a high pressure, project driven business where every event has tight timelines, complex vendor coordination, and demanding client expectations. Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations supports this by bringing finance, sales, customer service, project management, and supply chain into a single platform. Teams get real-time visibility into bookings, revenue, expenses, and operational performance across multiple events at once. For organisations like MATCH Hospitality, this means more agile responses to client needs and stronger overall control of complex event portfolios.

Localisation matters because ERP systems have to align with the specific tax rules, financial reporting standards, regulatory requirements, and cultural conventions of the country they operate in. For Qatar, this includes local statutory compliance, accepted accounting formats, and country specific configurations across modules. MATCH Hospitality’s Rami Khattar specifically called out Intwo’s localisation expertise as one of the main reasons for selecting the partner. Without proper localisation, an ERP can pass technical testing but fail at the moment local regulators or auditors ask questions.

Intwo’s role is to deliver end-to-end implementation, training, and support for MATCH Hospitality’s Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations roll-out in Doha. As Executive Director of Operations Dilip Bolar noted in the announcement, the goal is to make customer business processes more agile, productive, and insightful through the new ERP. Intwo brings extensive expertise in complex cloud computing and digital transformation projects, with deep familiarity of the Qatar market backing every stage from initial planning through go-live and beyond.

Qatar based businesses can work with Intwo through the local Doha office, which serves as the regional hub for Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations, Azure cloud services, data analytics, and cybersecurity support. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner with proven Qatar market experience demonstrated through projects like the MATCH Hospitality roll-out, Intwo combines a well-defined working methodology with country specific localisation expertise. Our team handles full lifecycle delivery from initial requirements through training, support, and ongoing digital transformation across finance, operations, and beyond.
