Business Central

An implementation or migration of the ERP is a task that may involve some effort by all the departments involved in a company.

It involves a study of all the data that we want to control, how we want to treat it, what we want users to see or what the main functionalities of the ERP are. These are just some of the more complicated challenges.

In addition to that, the change of tool or the modernization of the user's station gives rise to a new work methodology and that entails time for adoption by the company, the areas involved and of course the user himself.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Pricing. Costs and license

If we talk about licensing, of course there are public prices on Microsoft's own website where we can see that the costs range from £52.80/month per user in its Essentials version to just over £75.40/month per user in the Premium version. The big difference between them is that the most advanced version includes the Manufacturing and Service Management modules, in addition to everything included in Essentials.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg, the first link in the chain, since once we are clear about the licensing needs, that is when the real challenge and the project in question comes.

Phases to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

At Dynamics Square, we know what a process of this type implies and the phases that comprise it. For this reason, it seems impossible to give an implementation and fine-tuning cost without having specific data on the environment , the needs and even the number of users.

In a project of this type, we understand 4 well-defined phases :

Consulting: We think of simplifying the business. We define the technology and licensing options to make decisions with confidence.

Implementation and development: Tools, development environments, frameworks and talent clearly focused on Microsoft technologies.

Training: We apply our own methodologies to help the end user get the most out of Microsoft technology.

Maintenance: We apply a 360º support and maintenance service in the different existing versions.

All these phases in turn comprise different milestones that must be met in most projects of this type:

Installation of Dynamics BC.

Database configuration

Data migration plan

Development of adaptations

User training and adoption plan.

Start-up support

Other post-implantation services

In each of these phases, different profiles must be involved, both technical, commercial and management . A project manager, with a senior programmer and one or more junior programmers would be the logical thing to do. To this, it would be good to add a commercial account manager who knows how to transfer the client's needs and transmit the status of the project.

The times that are handled are very varied, from 8 weeks in simple projects with standard implementation to 10 months in those environments that need additional development to the core solution.

So, to the main question, how much does it cost to Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation? It is impossible to give an answer without having data from the company's ecosystem and making an exhaustive study of those data relevant to the deployment.
