Why move from a Legacy ERP System to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Data migration from your current system to a new Dynamics solution like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can seem like a daunting task. Many companies know that they are needing an upgrade from their current legacy system but don’t know the best way to go about integrating a separate solution.


Is an ERP Migration Necessary? 


Do you find yourself saying:

  1. I need to reduce costs and realize a greater ROI

  2. The business has exceeded our homegrown or 3rd party system

  3. We need better processes for collecting and analyzing my data

  4. Our current systems feel disconnected and don’t communicate with each other

  5. Our current system doesn’t provide actionable insights to help me keep pace with my competition

  6. The system we use is too rigid and can’t be easily customized or integrated with modern platforms

  7. The various departments and teams need to be able to collaborate more easily

  8. I struggle with demand forecasting based on recent market trends

These narratives are sadly very common among businesses frustrated with the performance they are getting out of their current ERP system. Whether it’s lacking technical knowledge or manpower to set up complex programming configurations in Sage solutions or not being able to grow your business with QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a great way to move forward with a modern ERP platform.


Business Central allows for easy configurations to give you the best information possible, great customer service, and most importantly, the ability to grow and expand your business.
