Directions NA 2021

Dynamics Partners are constantly looking for ways to adopt a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for their businesses. However, the journey to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS may be bumpy as so many questions arise such as:

  • Are we ready for AL only?
  • Can upgrades be straightforward and simple?
  • What’s the cost difference to upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS vs. On-premises?
  • Is my customer ready for the cloud?
  • What if the customer is not ready to migrate to SaaS?
  • How do we keep up with solution update cycles that include breaking changes after an upgrade?

With our proven experience in delivering more than 700 Microsoft Dynamics upgrades, we can help you answer all these questions. Join our session to hear:

  • Trends, challenges and opportunities in the worldwide community of Dynamics and Partners in North America.
  • Insights on 1ClickFactory’s upgrade engine which provides you with a fixed price to upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS and extensions. This enables Microsoft Dynamics Partners to increase their conversion rate by offering lower-cost upgrades. 
  • What happens if your Customer’s solution falls into the 80% that is not ready to move to SaaS? They can still run a cloud version. With 1ClickFactory you can choose two different approaches, depending on the needs of the customer:

      • Upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premises and host the solution on Azure until the customer is ready to migrate to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS.

      • OR

      • Stay on the current Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Premises version and host it on Azure until the customer is ready to migrate to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS.

  • Insights on the Extensions Maintenance service which helps to ensure extension compatibility with the latest Dynamics 365 Business Central version at a fixed price for customers that are running Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS. This allows Microsoft Dynamics Partners to set a profitable margin and efficiently address customer needs.
