From On-Premise to Cloud ERP

From On-Premise to Cloud ERP?

Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 cloud ERP applications offer increased security and productivity, more predictable costs, and other benefits. Many businesses using on-premise Dynamics applications are choosing to make the switch to the cloud.

MDT Inc. supports all our customers: those who want to start moving to a cloud ERP today, those who want to start preparing to move to the cloud in the future, and those who want to stay on their on-premise solutions and get the most out of them.

Build Out Your Technology Roadmap:

Through the decision-making process, it’s important to consider the full technology roadmap for your business. As your Dynamics Partner, Encore takes the time to understand your business needs, goals, and strategy, in order to create a technology plan going forward. We can identify how you can bring existing solutions together and leverage the current and future capabilities of the full Microsoft business stack: Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 (Office 365), Power BI, and more.

“This was one of the most painless implementations we’ve ever experienced. By getting organized early on, we focused on structure and avoided spending time cleaning up old data. Moving to dimensions for the chart of accounts simplified everything. The new system for PO management integrated seamlessly with our processes. We can now manage multiple budgets and create reports easily. Having worked with older ERPs in the past, Dynamics 365 Business Central’s cloud-based solution has made the transition much easier and more efficient.”

Key Dynamics 365 Solutions:

The Microsoft business stack of applications covers a wide range of business needs. There are two Dynamics 365 ERP applications and a host of other applications that can integrate and elevate your business.

Dynamics 365 ERP Applications:

  • Dynamics 365 Business Central, which is generally the right solution for companies moving from Dynamics GP or Dynamics NAV.
  • Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, which is generally the right solution for companies moving from Dynamics AX.

Each company’s needs are unique, and you should talk with a Dynamics Partner like Encore, experienced in both of these Dynamics 365 ERP solutions, to make sure you move to the best solution for your business.

These ERP systems primarily deliver transactional functionality to streamline processes for financials, sales order processing, purchase order processing, inventory manufacturing, and project accounting.

Related Microsoft Applications:

There is also the suite of 5 Dynamics 365 CRM applications: Dynamics 365 Sales, Marketing, Project Operations, Customer Service, and Field Service. These are often used together with the Dynamics ERP applications to give you a unified solution across your business.

Beyond Dynamics 365, there are the productivity and collaboration tools you may already be familiar with in Microsoft 365 (previously called Office 365): Word, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, and more.

And there is Power BI and the rest of the Power Platform, which facilitate reporting and analysis, help automate business processes with low-code/no-code tools, and more.

Transitioning to a Dynamics 365 ERP solution run in the cloud opens easier connections with any of the rest of the tools, enabling further growth and transformation to fit your evolving business needs.
