What is the right ERP for your company?

• Medium-sized to large national and international enterprises with complex business operations.
• Thanks to the great diversity of parameterization, can be implemented as a standard solution in many cases.
• Industry-specific solutions (trading, production, projects, etc.) are included in the standard offered by Microsoft and can be implemented by certified Microsoft partners.

• Number of users: 20+
• Larger project teams are needed to cover total business processes.
• Implementation turnaround time from 6-9 months.
• The standard solution itself already offers a great deal of functionality. It is configurable on the basis of the desired business processes.
• The organization’s core team is the key to success.
• Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations uses 95% of the core business logic, making it a much more complicated application than Business Central and more costly to implement and maintain.

• Works well in complex international environments with many intra-organization transactions. Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations has been localized for many countries, so it is easy to roll out in multiple countries from one central setup. This does not require any extra add-ons.

• Full Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM integration.
• Microsoft Office 365 is fully integrated. Microsoft SharePoint can also be used to further integrate your business processes. Business Central has an extra Outlook extension available to allow creation of customers or sending of offers directly within Outlook for an added productivity boost.
• Direct insight into the data that matters to you, with Microsoft Power BI. Reports are easy to create and modify yourself.
• And now, you can add the power of AI with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning. Many of your vital processes such as inventory forecasts, procurement and financial processes have a lot to gain from machine learning.
• Microsoft PowerApps are fully integrated.

• Fully cloud-based.
• On-premise: t/m AX2012 R3 (or partner hosted).

Focus

D365 Business Central

• For medium-sized and smaller businesses, this will be with “relatively” simple processes and a limited number of sites.
• Industry-specific solutions will be offered by Microsoft partners.
• A huge number of industry-specific add-ons to answer to the needs of every possible niche will become available. The industry-specific layer is partner-specific. The more types of processes that need to be automated (for example: production or distribution in combination with retail), the more layers (and consequently, add-ons) will need to be added to the standard Business Central layer.

• Lower implementation investment.
