As a company grows, the complexity of its operations increases, with more customers, products, processes, and data to manage. Decision-making becomes critical, and technology must keep up with that growth. This is where Business Central, Microsoft's ERP, comes into play, which thousands of companies around the world rely on to manage their financial, production, logistics, and commercial operations in an integrated manner.
But what makes Business Central such a highly valued solution for CEOs, CFOs, and IT managers? In this article, we explain its origins and key benefits.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a comprehensive and flexible business management system (ERP), developed by Microsoft, which unifies and optimizes all key areas of the company: finance, sales, purchasing, projects, inventory, production, and human resources, among others. It was born as the evolution of Navision, a pioneering solution in the industry, with more than 30 years of history accompanying companies around the world in their digital transformation.
From its beginnings as Navision, through Dynamics NAV, to the current Business Central platform, the product has been incorporating the latest Microsoft technologies, such as the cloud, artificial intelligence, and native integration with Microsoft 365, to offer a modern, secure, and always up-to-date experience.
The massive adoption of Business Central is no coincidence. More than 40,000 companies in 155 countries currently have the latest SaaS version of the product.
