When it comes to quoting, both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 CRM offer great capabilities – but which one should you use (or even both!), how should it all be integrated and what are the pros, cons and best practices to be taken into consideration. It can feel a little confusing, especially when there’s no “one-size-fits-all" quoting process that every business uses. The types of products and/services you're quoting for can also add additional complexities to navigate.

Moving from on-premises to the cloud is only part of the story, as many on-premises systems (earlier than v22 for Dynamics 365 Business Central, or any version of Dynamics NAV) are now out of mainstream support so planning ahead for your business is critical.

The world of customising Microsoft Dynamics has changed massively over the last few years, making it easier than ever to tailor and extend the solution to meet your business requirements – even for those that aren’t trained developers aka Citizen Developers.
This year's Wave 1 Release is finally here, and it's even better than we thought, with particular focus on the SaaS platform for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and how subtle – yet powerful – changes can make a huge impact.
In this episode, we are ‘Dispelling the myths of Dynamics training’, because with manageable, affordable (or even free!) sessions, the question isn’t ‘why should I?’ but ‘how come I didn’t do this sooner?’
Taking the jargon out of technical terminology by explaining the differences between SaaS vs PaaS vs On Prem for Microsoft Dynamics users in ways we can all understand (Pizza being just one example!).
Considering upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central and worrying about how you’re going to move all your custom developments? Discover all the answers right here.
