Selecting a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Partner? Free 2-Hour Assessment

When companies embark on replacing their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, the emphasis (quite naturally) tends to be on the software selection process. That process can be arduous, time-consuming, even confusing. So by the time you’ve made your choice, you (quite naturally again) just want to move forward as quickly as possible.

But hold on! You’re not quite ready to dive into the implementation of your new software. Because you’ve overlooked another selection process that’s equally important:

The Partner Selection Process.

And while you can go out on the Internet and find hundreds of articles about the ins and outs of selecting the right software for your business, there’s a glaring absence of material available to guide you through the process of finding the right partner. Perhaps that’s because finding the right partner is so subjective, and often boils down to “chemistry.”

But let’s not trivialize the importance of chemistry, because you and the partner you choose are about to enter into a long-term relationship.

One important criterion for choosing a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner is an experience. While experience is of the utmost importance when choosing a partner to work with on any ERP software implementation, when it comes to Dynamics 365 experience is critical. This is because Dynamics 365 was launched less than 2 years ago. So it’s relatively new, for you and for any partner you might choose.

Some Microsoft partners, like Bond Consulting Services (BCS), embraced Dynamics 365 immediately and has already built a strong practice around Dynamics 365 Business Central. Other partners sat on the sidelines for a while to see how the new solution played out. Those partners are now scrambling to establish a practice, recruit and hire, and garner experience.
