Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is software for business administration, planning and management. The aim of this software is to control processes efficiently, lighten administrations and reduce costs.

Offimac has been implementing Microsoft business software since 1996. Back then, this software was still called Navision. And thanks to its long history with Navision, Offimac is today one of the most experienced Microsoft Business Central partners in Belgium. In addition to a great deal of experience and expertise, Offimac also has many sector-specific solutions for Business Central. All these factors combined mean that for Business Central software, Offimac is the right partner for you!

MICROSOFT IS MARKET LEADER IN BUSINESS SSOFTWARE FOR SME

The Danish software house Navision was bought by Microsoft in 2002 and transformed into Microsoft Dynamics. Under Microsoft, Dynamics NAV grew into a global market leader. It is a highly successful business software with more than 160,000 customers in 195 countries. And today, this package is no longer called NAV or Navision, but Business Central.

NAV was renamed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise in October 2018.

And Business Central also immediately became the market leader in business software for small and medium-sized enterprises as a result. But with the arrival of a full cloud version since April 2019, this package will undoubtedly win even more new customers. Both within existing target groups and among start-ups.

BUSINESS CENTRAL SOFTWARE AUTOMATES EVERY DEPARTMENT

This software package was first called Navision. Later, it was called Microsoft Dynamics NAV. And since 2018, this software has been called Dynamics 365 Business Central.

This is a software aimed at small and medium-sized businesses of 1 to 250 employees. It is also a software that can control just about all departments of the SME company, from sales to accounting. The advantage of this is that employees only have to learn 1 package. And that they are very quickly familiar with the software. Moreover, this package is very similar to Microsoft Office and also works perfectly with it. Not surprisingly, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was used by millions of users worldwide. After all, it needs more than 160,000 in 195 countries. And what’s more, Business Central has also long been the market leader in the Benelux.

Integration with Microsoft Office assured

Microsoft Dynamics Business Central is perfectly integrated with Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook. And that makes for very recognisable software. This integration also makes the package very user-friendly. After all, almost everyone uses Microsoft Office on a daily basis. And everyone will therefore quickly become familiar with Business Central. Because working with Microsoft products is very pleasant. Because Microsoft pays a lot of attention to a good user experience.

Employee productivity is central throughout the package. Because users only have to enter data once. And the system provides further distribution of information to other modules. Customers only need to keep 1 customer file up-to-date. And everyone in the company can make grateful use of it. Because this also allows customers to achieve more profitability and efficiency in their business. And, of course, quickly recoup their investment. Employees had to spend less time on data entry. And they can concentrate on more productive tasks on behalf of customers.

Reporting is another strong plus point. There are more than 100 standard lists in the software. But each user can very easily create more lists and overviews for themselves. And almost all data can be transferred to Excel at any time. So you could also create charts there that you were used to in Excel. And there are also the extra powerful reporting tools that Microsoft Dynamics offers with Power BI. Because this way, every specific user can create the right reports tailored to his/her needs.

Cloud, local, standard, additional apps, customisation … Business Central is a very flexible solution

As befits modern software, this package can be installed on servers in the company. And you can also use Business Central entirely from the cloud. Organisations could start small with a few users or even just a few departments. And later grow to more. That too is possible. Because Microsoft wants customers to grow as they wish.

Don’t find everything you are looking for in the software as standard? No problem. There are thousands of add-ons and apps from partners like Offimac that are ready-made for many very specific sectors. For instance, Offimac has solutions for construction, installation, rental and services. In addition, it is also still possible to have some customisation on top of all the standards. So that every customer can achieve the desired composition of Business Central.

BUSINESS CENTRAL ONLINE: ONLY IN THE CLOUD AND FROM 1 USER UPWARDS

Many companies use Microsoft Office products such as Outlook, Word or Excel on a daily basis.

Microsoft wants to offer customers the same ease-of-use as Office 365 for business software. It wants to help customers grow from Office 365 into business software that supports departments with new functionalities, in the same very recognisable way of Office 365. For this, think of an accounting package or a commerce module, for example.

Business Central is cloud software that runs on Microsoft’s Azure cloud servers. It is standardised software that is preconfigured, which also makes the go-to from Office 365 easy.

Within the package, you will find modules such as for CRM, marketing, sales, purchasing, stock, accounting and much more. And of course, the link to Office products is standard. If the online solution does not suffice, you can smoothly upscale.

With Dynamics 365 Business Central software, Microsoft wants to help every company at every stage of its growth with administrative business software. So the online version is also an important and strategic entry product for Microsoft, making the threshold to business software as low as possible.
