Business Central or Finance & Operations for a Group

When Business Central is the right container

A group with a handful of entities, moderate intercompany, standard consolidation and a finance team that wants a faster, lighter system. Business Central is often the right platform for the whole group, with ISV products for the gaps.

When Finance & Operations is the system of record

A group with many entities, heavy intercompany and sub-ledger integration from core systems, demanding regulatory reporting or public-sector procurement law. Finance & Operations earns its cost there.

Three questions for the first workshop

Ask them before you ask about price.

How many legal entities will post, and how many currencies?

Which systems of record feed the ledger, and how often?

Which reports must be produced from the ledger without a workbook, and by whom?

A mixed estate is allowed

Some groups run Finance & Operations at the centre and Business Central in smaller entities. That is a design with real costs; we say what they are.

What you receive from a discovery workshop

A short, written output you can take to your board or another implementer.

A fit-gap of your processes against standard Dynamics 365

A recommended platform and entity structure, with the reasoning

A group design outline: chart, dimensions, approval matrix and integration map

A phased plan, with the pilot country and wave grouping proposed

A scoped estimate and the cost drivers behind it

How an engagement runs

It starts with a 45-minute consultation, then a discovery and fit-gap workshop on your own processes. You receive a written fit-gap and a phased plan before a programme is agreed. Four phases follow, each with something you can use and review.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Podemos empezar con Business Central y luego movernos?

Sí, pero una migración entre ambos es un proyecto. Te avisamos al principio si tu trayectoria lo hace probable.

Do you recommend one over the other?

We recommend what the three questions point to. We implement both.
