With BC you can count on integrations with your favorite applications like Office 365 and Teams. For example, the integration with Outlook, you can easily create and send an offer directly from Outlook! No need for switching apps – so you save a lot of time. 

The integration with the Power Platform lifts your beverage business to a higher level, thanks to a seamless connection between all your intelligent data tool Power BI and Power Apps .You can directly view all of your content in BC – which results in a complete image of your business in real-time.  

When your email, calendar, and files seamlessly come together with your data, reports, and business processes, you get an integrated experience that no other stand-alone ERP solution can match. 

SaaS/Cloud 

Business Central is no longer only available on-premise but also in the cloud! Software as a Service (SaaS) is becoming the new standard and this has a lot of benefits. The main one is getting updates! You have immediate access to new functionalities and updates without having to pay an additional fee.  

And you do not have to worry about the infrastructure, server capability or acquisition and installation of hardware. 

Cost optimization 

Since SaaS applications such as Business Central have an easier infrastructure and lower maintenance costs, you can reduce your overall IT costs. Microsoft also built BC to be tailored to your needs. It truly is a comprehensive, customizable platform for improving your productivity. And you can easily add specific applications for your industry. 

Thanks to the monthly subscription model, based on your total users, you do not have a large upfront investment. And because of its flexibility, you can always add licenses – this way your IT system grows with your business. 

Furthermore, you will not lose much time thanks to the fast implementation! 

Security  

Data protection should be extremely high on your list when choosing an IT system!  

As a cloud solution, you of course benefit from in-built features that ensure your data is backed up and securely stored.  

BC provides a security system that allows administrators to manage user access to the objects and data in the database. Because the BC database is on SQL Server or Azure SQL Database, the BC security system and either the SQL Server SQL Server or Azure SQL Database security system work together to help ensure that only authorized users can gain access to the database. 

Better support  

Since add-ons and customization are no longer developed within the standard product, it is a lot easier to provide your support. With the updates in the cloud systems, it is not needed to extensively analyze the modifications in the new release.
