Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – NAV on The Cloud

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, previously called ‘Tenerife’ and is the new version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations: Business Edition and brings the full power of Microsoft Dynamics NAV to the cloud. Already available from April 2, 2018, it is Microsoft’s mid-market ERP solution provided on a pure SaaS basis (Software as a Service). As such, Business Central has at its foundation a set of trusted, proven technologies that have served 160,000 customers and millions of users worldwide, in partnership with Microsoft Dynamics solution providers.

As a single, end-to-end application, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers:

  • Business without silos - Integrate your business, making it more effective with automated tasks and workflows by utilizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central—connecting with familiar Office tools like Word, Excel and Outlook.

Most importantly, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central runs on exactly the same code base as a traditional on-premise NAV deployment. The Dynamics 365 implementation process ensures complete consistency between on-premise and cloud versions. Therefore, you can transition between NAV on-premise and Business Central with relative ease. It is a comprehensive, all-in-one solution designed for organizations that are outgrowing its entry-level accounting solutions. It not only includes accounting and financial management capabilities but also sales and service, project management, supply chain, and inventory and operations management.
Organizations that have outgrown their entry-level accounting solution typically have issues when connecting different areas of their business together. Collaborating with experienced Microsoft Dynamics solution providers becomes crucial as the systems are brought together at different stages of business growth. So, they won’t necessarily integrate well together. The usual outcome of this is that employees spend a lot of time on manual processes and data management.
This is a classic example for growing companies and having witnessed this firsthand, we’ve identified clear signs when an organization is starting to outgrow its existing financial application and is unable to handle that extra growth. These are issues like duplicate data, manual processes, limited reports, and data security to name a few. These areas become increasingly apparent as an organization grows and multiplies its workforce and continues working on legacy ERP software.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, in partnership with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partners, brings all of these disparate systems and processes together into a single solution which really serves to enable a company to reduce manual processes and focus on more high-value tasks.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Implementation also includes easy-to-create workflow functionality. Businesses can easily track cash flows, purchasing, credit authorizations, and vendor payments – all with an audited trail and enterprise-level security.
For many businesses today, accessing their ERP software on mobile devices is becoming increasingly important. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation, business users will have access to a fully mobile-enabled user interface across desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone – Windows, Apple, or Android. Everyone gets the same information irrespective of the device or platform.
Business Central Implementation, in collaboration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partners, seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook. For those who regularly use Outlook and Office, never have to leave those applications to process a quote, a purchase order, or submit an invoice. Microsoft Word can be used to customize quotes, invoices, and other outgoing documents. For more complex tasks, Excel has a live data set view to update items, sales orders/purchase orders with immediate synchronization back into Business Central!
Enhancing decision-making within an organization becomes significantly more achievable with the support of proficient Microsoft Dynamics solution providers. Often, the current solutions are disconnected and make it very difficult to get accurate reporting across the company leading to wrong business decisions.
