Business Central vs. Finance & Supply Chain Assessment

Choosing between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management is a critical decision—one that depends on your business’s size, operational complexity, industry needs, and growth plans. This structured assessment helps you confidently determine which ERP solution aligns with your current requirements and future vision.

Delivered remotely and led by experienced ERP consultants with Microsoft expertise, this one-day assessment begins with a deep dive into your organization’s business profile, including employee count, revenue, number of legal entities, and global footprint. We then assess operational complexity across financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements.
