If your current customer solution is running Business Central version 14 or newer, you no longer need to upgrade to the newest version of Dynamics 365 Business Central before synchronizing data to Dynamics 365 Business Central Online.

One of 1ClickFactory’s top priorities is to always ensure that the Self-Provisioning service is secure by design and that all the processes supporting the service adhere to strong information security controls. However, it wasn’t always easy to explain to different Dynamics Partners and clients how information security is ensured due to different understanding of available technologies and processes. 1ClickFactory decided to get an internationally recognizable information security management certification to help provide more assurance to Dynamics Partners and customers.

Every day at work we generate data. The longer the company’s history, the more data it accumulates.

Therefore, it’s a good time for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics NAV/ Dynamics 365 Business Central) system owners to consider whether they want to be more integrated and visible on the web.

How many times have you listened to someone share a great success story and wondered: “All this sounds great, but in my world this would never have worked.”? Well, you are not alone in that thought. I have heard so many different arguments, such as - “Dynamics 365 Business Central is too expensive for CEE markets”, “CEE market customers are not ready to move to the Cloud”, “There is no way we can do business with Dynamics 365 Business Central, until there is a Microsoft Business Central SaaS version available...”. So, that made me think, now is the time to introduce two Partners who are already doing business with Dynamics 365 Business Central and have already (for the most part) moved their customers to the Cloud, operating within the CEE market. 

When asking a prospect to buy your product, you’re essentially asking them for their money. It seems like a simple task, but for majority of salespeople it actually is quite tricky.

If you read our previous blog post on a Phased transition to Business Central SaaS (if you haven’t yet, you really should read it😊) you would have noticed that we refer to Dynamics 365 Business Central in the Cloud (Microsoft’s Software as a Service solution or ‘SaaS’ for short) as to the Eldorado, or destination of gold and eternal bliss. However, if your current version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is very outdated, you may wind up in a Sisyphean whereabouts, rather than Eldorado. In this blog post, I’ll share the best upgrade approach for very outdated Dynamics 365 Business Central solutions so that they can effectively move to the latest version. We call this upgrade concept a - “Clean Start”, aka clearing the path to Eldorado…
