Are You Ready to Offer NAV & Services on Subscription?

ERP on subscription can no longer be referred to as the “new kid on the block” as it has been on the market surprisingly for a few years already. With the recent release of Dynamics NAV on subscription, ERP on subscription is now strongly supported by Microsoft. The challenge with ERP on subscription are the many pieces that we, as Partners, need to have in place to become successful and profitable. 

What Does a Typical Dynamics NAV Cloud Customer Look Like?

Less is more. Customers expect Cloud ERP, not hosted

In the new buying paradigm in the small- and medium-sized business space, customers are looking for an out-of-the-box, ready-to-use ERP solution with few customizations. They are even willing to adjust their needs to accommodate the solution from the ERP vendor. In return, they expect low start-up and maintenance costs. In other words, customers are not looking for a complex solution (like a Ferrari); instead, they want a solution with the best ROI (like an economy class car). For these customers, less is more.
