Frequently asked questions
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system designed for small and mid-sized businesses. It unifies financial management, supply chain operations, sales, customer service, project management, and manufacturing into a single platform. Business Central is the direct successor to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and includes built-in AI-powered insights, Power BI analytics, and native integration with Microsoft 365, Teams, and the broader Dynamics 365 ecosystem.
Who is Dynamics 365 Business Central designed for?
Business Central is purpose-built for mid-market companies typically ranging from 10 to 500 employees, though it scales effectively for organizations with up to several thousand users. It is ideal for businesses that have outgrown entry-level accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero and need integrated ERP capabilities across finance, operations, sales, and manufacturing. Common industries include manufacturing, wholesale distribution, professional services, and retail.
What modules are included in Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Business Central includes core modules for financial management (general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, budgeting, fixed assets, multi-currency), supply chain management (purchasing, inventory, warehouse operations, shipping), sales and customer service (CRM, quote-to-cash, service management), project management (job costing, timesheets, resource planning), manufacturing (production orders, BOMs, capacity planning, quality management), and analytics (embedded Power BI dashboards, AI-driven cash flow forecasting, Excel integration). The Essentials license covers most modules, while the Premium license adds service order management and manufacturing.
How long does a typical Business Central implementation take?
A typical Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation takes between 4 and 8 months from project kickoff to go-live. Simpler deployments with standard configurations can go live in as few as 3 months, while complex implementations involving multiple integrations, custom extensions, data migration from legacy systems, and manufacturing modules may extend to 10 or 12 months. At Aedista, our implementation methodology includes discovery and fit-gap analysis, configuration and customization, data migration, user acceptance testing, training, and post-go-live support.
How much does Dynamics 365 Business Central cost?
Dynamics 365 Business Central uses per-user, per-month licensing. The Essentials plan costs $70 per user per month and includes financial management, supply chain, CRM, project management, and warehouse management. The Premium plan costs $100 per user per month and adds service order management and manufacturing modules. Team Members licenses are available at $8 per user per month for read-only access, approvals, and report viewing. Implementation costs vary based on complexity but typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 or more depending on customizations, integrations, and data migration requirements.
Can Business Central be deployed on-premises or is it cloud only?
Business Central supports both cloud (SaaS) and on-premises deployment. The cloud version is Microsoft-managed, includes automatic updates twice per year, and provides built-in disaster recovery and enterprise-grade security. The on-premises version gives organizations full control over their infrastructure and data, which is required in some regulated industries. Many organizations start on-premises and transition to cloud over time. Aedista has 25+ years of experience deploying both models and can help determine which deployment option best fits your compliance, performance, and budget requirements.
