Going All-In with The Cloud
More recently, and in close alignment with the drive to Office 365, now Microsoft 365, and the Azure cloud platform, Microsoft improved upon all four on-premises products to create two comprehensive ERP platforms that are delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS) from the cloud. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) is ideal for the small to medium sized business, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) is designed for enterprise use. Each of these platforms is a complete business process management software system that manages and integrates a company’s financials, operations, commerce, reporting, manufacturing, human resource, and other activities. We’ll focus more on each of these and what features are key for professional service firms later in this guide.
