Navigating your ERP in 2024 With Your Microsoft Dynamics Partner
The new year is a time when many organizations and businesses review their performance over the past year and think ahead to the future.
2024 will bring many opportunities and challenges as your organization continues to navigate a challenging economy and the drive for improved business performance. How your organization uses and maximizes your ERP and accounting system can play a key role in your business success this year and in the future.
As your trusted Microsoft Dynamics partner in Alberta, Joesoftware presents our New Year’s Resolutions for your organization and your ERP system.
Plan ahead for Dynamics Business Central or GP.
The new year is the perfect time to start planning ahead. If you are using Microsoft Dynamics GP or a non-MS system like QuickBooks or Sage Accounting, you may be hearing about Business Central and wondering if your organization should consider a transition to Business Central in the near future.
It is good to start planning for a new ERP system at least one year in advance. A trusted advisor like Joesoftware will meet with you to better understand your organization and needs. Through this discovery phase, we will create a detailed plan for the implementation of Business Central, and we will consider if there are any other Microsoft solutions you need. Consider whether 2024 is the year to start planning for the evolution of your ERP system.
Maximize updates and upgrades.
Microsoft is continuously improving GP and Business Central, but if you don’t stay on top of the changes, your organization could be missing out on the benefits. Take the time this year to review the latest updates and see how your organization can take advantage of the latest changes. If you don’t have the time or resources to investigate what’s new and how it could be put to work for you, Joesoftware can help.
Review and address pain points.
Take a step back in the new year and review where there may be challenges and inefficiencies in your processes and ERP system. With minimal investigation, you may find existing solutions or applications that could help address pain points and make your operations more efficient and effective. It could also be that your team would benefit from additional training on your GP or Business Central system. The Joesoftware team can help your employees refresh their understanding and knowledge and help your organization identify if there are third-party applications and other solutions that could move your business forward.
Move to Business Central.
Maybe your organization has already done the analysis and is ready to transition to Business Central. When you have a trusted implementation partner at your side, like Joesoftware, the move to a new ERP system will be less intensive and easier for your team to manage.
Empower your people.
There are many ways to encourage and engage your employees. Have you considered giving your finance, manufacturing, or operations teams the planning and analytics tools that are easy to use and allow them to perform to their full potential? Employees often face challenges with outdated data and complex analytics tools that result in slower, manual processes to extract and use key data and information. Microsoft offers business performance planning capabilities that will give your team a comprehensive view of your financial and operational performance.
