Prodware NAV to Cloud

We’ve developed a “Platform transition program” to help NAV customers make a smooth, secure and efficient migration to the Cloud.

Digital disruption is forcing every industry to reimagine itself

Security – being in the Cloud

76% expected increase in worker productivity

50% of companies that embrace AI over the next five to seven years may double their cash flow

Traditional ERP solutions won’t survive in the digital economy

Isolated systems, disconnected applications

Complex, slow, expensive to deploy

Difficult to update, maintain and operate

Traditional ERP systems that are siloed and glued, bandaged, or bolted together do not work in the digital economy. The ability of your business to survive and thrive requires an ERP system that is modern, scalable, secure, unified, adaptable and intelligent.

Challenges with On-Prem ERP solutions

Limited flexibility to add new capabilities
Disconnected systems/duplicate data sources
Cumbersome infrastructure/ complex integrations
Evolving regulatory compliance
Product support end-of-life

Impact to business

Stalled growth
No real-time visibility of business performance
High costs, low productivity
Increased risks and costs
No vendor support

BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS

INNOVATIVE NEW TECHNOLOGY

LEVERAGE THE POWER OF MICROSOFT CLOUD

Operational Benefits

  • Flexibility: From cloud deployment options to a growing set of tools and capabilities, Dynamics 365 Business Central provides businesses the flexibility they need to grow
  • Scalability: Dynamics 365 Business Central makes it easy and efficient for businesses to scale. Businesses can easily duplicate instances to new regions as they expand, helping them get up and running faster. Cloud deployment options also provide greater resource elasticity, and secure and quicker “time to market” reducing risks for growing businesses.
  • Security: Cloud deployments make it easier to keep teams updated with the most recent software. Not only does this mean they always have the latest features, but it means they also have all of the latest security updates.

Financial Benefits

  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Dynamics 365 Business Central can help lower costs for a business. Cloud deployment brings many cost savings – moving from OPEX to CAPEX with scalable pricing.
  • Faster Time to Value Dynamics 365 Business Central helps deliver faster time to value. Instead of wasting time implementing a monolithic solution, Dynamics 365 Business Central can help businesses get up and running faster.
  • Easier updates through the cloud means companies can maximize the value of their software, getting the latest features into employees’ hands sooner. And with familiar interfaces and tools – like Excel – teams will require less training and time to get comfortable using the software.
  • Provide a single-source of business intelligence

IMPROVE SECURITY, PRIVACY, AND RELIABILITY

Get peace of mind knowing your sensitive business data is stored in highly-secure, state-of-the-art data centers owned and managed by Microsoft. Your data will be there when you need it, thanks to a 99.9 percent uptime service-level agreement (SLA).

ENABLE SCALABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY

Support business growth when you need it without costly changes to your IT infrastructure, including the ability to quickly activate and deploy new users.

FREE UP IT RESOURCES

Improve IT productivity by reducing the complexity associated with managing hardware and software and providing support. Eliminate the hassle of software maintenance tasks including backups, upgrades, and patches as well as free up IT staff to focus on strategic planning and other high-priority work items.

BRING ALL YOUR DATA TOGETHER

Typically, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data has been maintained separately. Dynamics 365 Business Central lets you connect this data for a 360° view of your business and easy access from collaborative solutions like Microsoft Teams, Office 365 and Microsoft Power BI.

ADAPT TO YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

Enhance your Dynamics 365 experience with pre-built business applications developed by Microsoft and select partners – available through the AppSource marketplace. If your business has a unique need, you can build apps with the Microsoft Power Platform and then further customize and extend them.

INCREASE COLLABORATION AND PRODUCTIVITY

Enhance teamwork and boost productivity with access to information from anywhere, at any time, from any device. Enable remote employees to share information in real-time, allowing for easier and more efficient collaboration.

EMPOWER YOUR ORGANIZATION TO DO MORE

Give your team the tools and information they need to compete, succeed, and excel with access to innovations like artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics.
