Ready for a future with ERP in de cloud

Ready for a fast technological shift to the cloud?

The technological evolution we are currently experiencing is increasing the daily pressure on businesses to have the right data available anytime and anywhere. This is not only to provide customers with the necessary information, but also for employees on the road, in workshops, or for hybrid workers at home. A cloud ERP system that is ready for the future can meet these expectations.

But what does this mean, and what advantages Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft’s cloud solution for SMBs, offer?

Accessible Anytime, Anywhere

To begin with, the software is no longer installed on a local server; instead, the package runs in a secure environment in the cloud. All data is highly secure but is always available to verified users, no matter where they are. This means that users must log in with a personal account and password and have access only to the data and features they are authorized to use.

No upfront purchase cost

In a cloud model, the software is hosted in a cloud environment and offered according to the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) principle. The software is offered as a service, meaning you rent the software, which significantly reduces the initial purchase cost. The cost of purchasing an ERP license is eliminated, as is the annual maintenance contract. Furthermore, monthly billing ensures a better spread of costs. As a result of this rental model, you can keep the implementation time very short in most cases.

Flexibility in every aspect

The scalability of the cloud software provides greater flexibility, allowing the software to grow alongside your company’s needs. The platform is scalable not only in terms of the number of users but also in terms of modules and functionalities. This allows you to start with a few basic functions and later expand with additional functionalities or extra storage capacity, without making major hardware investments.

Integration with Other Applications

Microsoft’s cloud ERP solution, Dynamics 365 Business Central, integrates easily with other Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). In this cloud configuration, integration is much simpler than in an on-premises (client-server) environment. Other integrations, such as with the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, etc.), are significantly easier than with on-premises installations. In other words, cloud solutions offer better future prospects.

Any other benefits that Dynamics 365 Cloud offers? Absolutely!

Software updates are applied automatically. This ensures you’re always working in an up-to-date environment and eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming upgrade procedures. Additionally, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cloud performs regular backups. So you don’t have to worry about this and can focus more on the core of your business.
