Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Upgrading to a new finance system is a big decision for many businesses. With a huge amount of critical data to migrate between systems, if you don’t have the capability in-house then you’ll require an expert on hand who can guarantee the integrity of your data and the seamless move from your old system to your new one.
Not only will we take the lead in export, checking and importing your data from your old system into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, but with our Dynamics SmartScope™ deployment we will guarantee that the data quality will be as good, if not better, than your current system. If it isn’t, we’ll fix it free of charge.
What is Dynamics SmartScope™?
Dynamics SmartScope™ is a managed upgrade service for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
It is the ideal implementation choice if you’re looking for an accredited expert to manage every step of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation for you. With over 30 years’ experience, our team of experts have vast knowledge of finance systems and all of your data is backed up by our DataReady Guarantee.
How Does Dynamics SmartScope™ Work?
Following a detailed project scoping which will give us a comprehensive understanding of your business, you’ll be assigned a dedicated Project Manager, who will be responsible for creating and managing your project from start to finish. They’ll act as your point of contact for any of your queries and you’ll always have a direct line of communication to them.
You’ll receive a project schedule, which will ensure that there is clarity between everyone of when each key milestone should be completed. Then of course, arguably the most important stage of any software implementation, the migration of your data can commence. If your data isn’t accurate in your new system then it can cause huge problems, so you can be safe in the knowledge that it’s all verified by one of our AAT accredited experts and it doesn’t matter which system you’re upgrading from.
A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Upgrade Personalised to Your Specific Needs and Requirements
The best bit about Dynamics SmartScope™ is you get to build the implementation yourself, depending on your business needs. The project is based on our Dynamics SmartScope™ Packs which are the building blocks of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system. Each pack contains installation, set up and training (if required) in key areas of the system. Our packs include key areas such as:
- Finance
- Fixed assets
- Customer relationship management
- Sales and purchase ordering
- Stock and inventory
- Project management
- Employee and HR
- Creating and implementing approvals and workflows (for additional peace of mind)
Each Dynamics SmartScope™ Pack is configured by one of our AAT accredited consultants, who will use their knowledge of best practice accountancy, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and your specific needs to build your system.
How Much Does Dynamics SmartScope™ Cost?
A typical 20 user system (10 standard users and 10 team users) using our Dynamics SmartScope™ option would cost approximately £7,000 in licences per year, plus a one-off installation cost. The cost of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation will vary business-to-business depending on which Dynamics SmartScope™ Packs they choose and whether any long-term support and training is added on. One thing is for certain though, with The HBP Group it will be a fixed project and not an estimate – so you’ll know exactly where you stand and what the costs are before it begins.
