Formerly known as Navision, and then Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a complete end to end enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, designed specifically to manage key business processes and financial data. Famous for its functionality and innovation, Business Central is also customisable with add-ons and extensions to suit your business processes and operations. For example, project and resource costing, and stock and warehouse management,
The trusted Microsoft system can be cloud deployed either on Microsoft’s Azure platform as a ‘Software as a Service’, or or on a private cloud on-premise. The solution streamlines collaboration across divisions and departments. This allows you to find crucial data in one place, rather than across disparate systems. It makes day-to-day processes and procedures more efficient. It also eliminates tedious and repetitive tasks, like wasting time hunting in different systems, exporting spreadsheets and transferring data from one source to another – maximising the productivity of your workforce.
Often a question that is asked is what is the difference between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV/Navision?
The simple answer is: Business Central is the new, rebranded and evolved version of NAV, since its release back in April 2018. The interface and user-friendly functionality has developed enormously since its upgrade, with a much more slick, modern front end.
The main change for Business Central vs NAV is the cloud deployment offering. There is also the modern web-based user interface. Furthermore, there is better integration with other Microsoft solutions using the Microsoft Common Data Service. Access to Azure and other multi-purpose applications has never been easier since the change to Business Central, and all of the applications cater to a common need across most SMEs.
So, why choose Microsoft’s ERP offering over all the others?
