Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Migration, Configuration, Troubleshooting, and Guidance
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, formerly called Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Navision, provides small and midsize businesses a comprehensive, unified solution for typical business activities including financials, inventory, operations control, project management, procurement, sales, supply chain management, and business reporting. Designed for the Microsoft cloud and powered by SQL Server, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports tight integration with familiar Microsoft applications such as Office 365 Word, Excel, Exchange, Outlook, Power BI, Teams, Microsoft AI tools, and Azure Active Directory (AD). A range of Power BI-based modules such as Business Central Sales are offered on the Microsoft AppSource, and custom enhancements can be developed using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code tool. The ability to handle various currencies, exchange rates, and localized tax regulations enables D365 Business Central to work for multi-country companies.
The onsite edition of Dynamics 365 Business Central can be run at your data center and the SaaS release can be hosted by the Microsoft cloud or implemented in a hybrid cloud/on-premises model. Some features, like linking to Teams, are offered only for the cloud edition. The original Navision application that developed into Dynamics Business Central was initially released during the eighties as an international enterprise resource planning program. Progent's experts have worked with the Navision/NAV product line for years and can assist you to maintain legacy deployments or upgrade efficiently to the latest on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid solutions. End users have access to the full functionality of Microsoft Dynamics Business Central from desktop, tablet, or handheld endpoints powered by Microsoft Windows, iOS, or Google Android.
