Increase business agility. Many ERP systems can be built to adapt to your needs and grow with your business, helping you proactively prepare for—and quickly respond to—any operational disruption or market change.
Accelerate operational impact. By connecting processes and data, you can enhance visibility and flexibility for employees, helping them act quickly and deliver more value across the organization.
Drive performance. With ERP systems that use AI, you can access insights that enhance decision making and reveal ways to improve operational performance.

According to Forrester Consulting, today’s ERP systems have entered a new era. In a recent Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact^™ study commissioned by Microsoft, it was found that deploying Dynamics 365 Finance increased finance personnel productivity improvements by 55%*.

Further, if you’re part of a large, multi-entity organization and you’re looking for ways to gain more visibility into operations and finance throughout the organization—you’re not alone. According to a study presented by Microsoft and Gartner, 70% of companies are focusing on improving operations and supply chain visibility.

How Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management Can Help

Enterprise software comprises large-scale software packages that support business processes, information flows, reporting, and analytics. Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management are two modern ERP systems that fit into this category.

Dynamics 365 Finance

Dynamics 365 Finance is a powerful ERP solution designed to help organizations manage their financial operations effectively. It provides robust tools for budgeting, financial planning, and analysis, enabling businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

It offers dashboards and AI-driven insights that can give an overview of your finances to help you tap into performance information. The system can help reduce manual data entry by automating tasks. It also can help with regulatory compliance by providing audit-ready documentation.
