With over 100,000 users worldwide, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the world’s most popular ERP software.

As the leading ERP software integrator in Sydney, with over 200 projects completed, the question AUSTRAL Dynamics is asked most often by clients is “What’s the difference between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Dynamics NAV and Business Central?”

To get straight to the point, AUSTRAL Dynamics Co-Founder and CEO, Thaya Ponniah says “Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is hosted in the Cloud while Dynamics NAV is implemented onsite.”

“The apps are the same in both software suites – however, what is different is that Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Cloud-based – so data can be uploaded and is instantly accessible wherever in the world you are while Dynamics NAV is not”

At its most basic level, what Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central does is use ERP technology to ensure your various departments are talking to each other.

Why is this important, you might ask as the CEO, CFO, CMO or CTO of an organisation?

Well, it’s important because unless a department’s members talk – load data and share it, they won’t collaborate, they’ll compete – and among themselves.

That is something no CEO or company can afford and that is why you need to take ERP seriously and invest in it if you’re a medium sized business with 50 employees or more looking to move to the next stage of your growth cycle.

Ok, we hear you – loud and clear at AUSTRAL Dynamics.

An ERP Software Consultancy based in Sydney with clients like Daiwa Group (the fishing guys), Paris Miki and clients in virtually every industry vertical, we are experienced ERP consultants who help C-suite executives understand the business-critical need for ERP – following which we develop the solution, the business case plus manage it from there on.

How does ERP work? It’s like this - as businesses grow, they use many different software suites to manage that growth.

Take Payroll, for example. Many mid-sized Australian companies use systems such as XERO. Xero is a great software except that it’s standalone. It doesn’t integrate with other software suites a business may use - particularly Microsoft Office based systems.

The result - the CEO and Senior Leadership Team can get numbers but cannot make sense of them or see them on a single chart, screen or panel in graph form.

It presents information in ways that you can integrate, cross tabulate and make better business sense off.

Suddenly, you don’t just have an ERP system, you have a business intelligence system you can use to track sales, inventory, orders and profits.

With over a decade’s experience in designing and implementing ERP Solutions for mid-sized Australian companies in Australia, AUSTRAL Dynamics is your first port of call when it comes to helping you understand ERP - the role it can play in your business to grow and improve it.
