Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Part – Model implementation schedule in the financial and accounting area

Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (formerly Microsoft Dynamics NAV) is a component of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform and is an ERP system aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.

Available in 2 basic variants: Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Essentials (modules: finance, sales, purchasing, warehouse, CRM, human resources, project management) and Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Premium (functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Essentials + manufacturing and service).

As a part of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, it is an excellent base for developing the organization’s technology base based on other integrated solutions prepared by Microsoft.

It provides insight into all the most relevant processes within the organization and allows for their ongoing analysis and correction depending on changing conditions. Automating decision-making processes contributes to cost reduction and optimal use of resources.

Microsoft aims to unify all business tools under one Dynamics 365 platform, and it’s up to the individual preferences of end users to decide which tools are optimal for their daily work. Given our experience, we suggest customers start building this ecosystem from the financial and accounting side within Microsoft Dynamics Business Central ERP (ultimately, everything in business begins and ends with money).

Telegraphic Brief

We assume the execution of the scope of work presented in this guide within a budget of €9900. Our previous experience with similar projects was the basis for these averaged values. Suppose a particular process/area is absent in your organization or turns out repetitive and straightforward. In that case, it automatically affects the adjustment of expenditures - we implement all projects in the time-material model
