Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Edmonton

Edmonton businesses need ERP systems that are designed around how they really work, delivered on a realistic timetable and maintained locally when questions and concerns arise. We are a Microsoft Dynamics partner based in Alberta with experience deploying Business Central in Edmonton industries like manufacturing, energy, construction, distribution, professional services and non-profits. We deliver systems that work and we stay involved long after go-live.

Why Businesses in Edmonton Work With Us

Edmonton has a strong mix of businesses. Energy service companies (ESCOs) implement several projects simultaneously. Manufacturers need production planning and job costing. Distributors distribute cargo between several warehouses. Construction businesses track expenses by project. Restricted grants are reported by non-profits. Each has particular ERP needs and a general implementation that ignores those needs will underperform from the start.

We understand how Edmonton businesses work. We work in Edmonton. We are deploying Business Central throughout the industries that are driving this market and we offer that context to every conversation. When your system is up, we are here, not remote. Local support when you need it.

Our Work

Honest Evaluation

Before any project begins we will analyze your present systems, processes and goals. We tell you what Business Central accomplishes well for your case and where there is complexity. If Business Central is not for you, we will tell you, rather than sell a project that does not serve your organization.

Planning in Practice

ERP implementations take time and the timeline is dependent on what your business needs. We scope projects clearly, we estimate honestly. We identify upfront the elements that affect your timeframe so there are no surprises during the project. Before work starts your team understands what to expect.

Neat Implementation

We focus on getting the basics right, clean chart of accounts, clean master data and correctly designed workflows. Complete validation of data migration before go-live. Your team is trained on Business Central as it’s set up for your firm, not on a generic system. At project close, your team owns the system.

Local Assistance

In the weeks after go-live, a local partner is most important. Testing will never predict all the problems that come up. Staff have questions. The processes need minimal modifications. We’re speedy and we’re in Edmonton. We offer our clients ongoing assistance, training, and system improvements as their business evolves, with access to our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timelines depend on the complexity of your operations. A professional services organization can do it in 14 to 30 weeks. For a manufacturer with job costs and many sites, it will take longer. Data transformation and process redesign must be factored in when planning for Dynamics GP migration. Before we begin work, we scope your problem to offer you a realistic schedule.

Yes.  Moving data is a fundamental feature of every implementation we undertake. We establish what data moves, how it transforms for Business Central and rigorously evaluate the data transferred before go-live. Your team approves the data prior to the system going live. We go live only when you are sure that the data is correct and full.
