The meeting with the C-suite went well: You pitched the need for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to handle an array of functions, from financials and inventory management to better collaboration with the company’s workflow. Everyone agreed it was time to ‘disconnect’ from all the separate programs in favor of a single database managements system.

Admittedly, the accounting department was feeling the increase in business, including an uptick in orders from abroad. Consequently, more time was spent correcting data entries, and creating valid financial reports. Furthermore, with the opening of another branch office on the horizon, ‘mobility’ was imperative, and Microsoft Azure cloud services offered a highly tested and secure SaaS platform for Dynamics GP if users weren’t willing to move to Dynamics 365 Business Central (yet).

In short, as Forbes noted in an ERP overview, more and more companies are moving their ERP services to the cloud:

“…today’s midmarket executives can not only implement enterprise systems in a fraction of the time and cost, but they can exploit new external channels and media to find and retain more customers, link external systems with existing internal systems to increase efficiencies, and consider opportunities to simultaneously decrease costs and increase revenue.”

With Dynamics GP on MS Azure platform, your ERP system can be scalable, allowing businesses to pay for services as needed…24/7. In addition to a variety of subscription levels, users can also access data remotely through their tablets, smartphones and laptops.
