The changes that Microsoft have made not only encompass changes with the basic concept (the solution is now also available in the Cloud, without losing any strength in customization), but there have also been significant changes to the core of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which is changing the application development language, basically for the first time since 1990. This will bring a lot of advantages for customers but also requires Microsoft ISVs and partners to rewrite a large portion of the code that has been built into their customer base since 1995.

It’s a special week for us here at 1ClickFactory. We are celebrating a huge milestone as we approach our 10-year anniversary! It has been a fantastic journey over the last 10 years. We are extremely proud to have grown our company to close to 100 highly-skilled and motivated people in our Vilnius office, and continually growing…

As a Microsoft appointed ISV Development Center, 1ClickFactory, renowned for its upgrade tools and expertise is honored to efficiently support technological transformations to Dynamics 365 Business Central Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). From numerous interactions with Dynamics Partners, we’ve learned that a number of Dynamics partners have embraced an isolated approach to development practices.

Microsoft Value Added Distributor and Indirect CSP QBS group has recently acquired the majority of the shares in her strategic partner 1ClickFactory. This news was a good reason to set up an interview with Soren Fink Jensen, CEO of 1ClickFactory, and Michael Hartmann, the CEO of QBS group to explore the prospering relationship and this intensified collaboration, along with the radical changes in today’s markets for business applications including ideas on how partners should react.

As of March 2019, QBS group has acquired shareholder majority of 1ClickFactory. This is a further strengthening of the already established collaboration and is an important step in the strategy of QBS group to enhance her offerings to the Dynamics partner channel.

As one of the largest cloud on Azure providers, we often get questions from our partners and customers, such as:

• Can the same license for NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central be used?
• Are Business Central and NAV two different products or the same?
• Is it possible to migrate from NAV to Business Central?

To answer these questions and provide more guidance, we decided to write this brief yet comprehensive blog post.

1ClickFactory has, with effect from January 1, 2019, changed the representation and service to partners for the Benelux region. The change is a result of Dirk Jan Gelderblom, the representative of 1ClickFactory in Benelux, selling his 1ClickFactory sales franchise for Benelux back to 1ClickFactory. The new representative is the QBS Group, the largest Microsoft Dynamics Value Add Distributor in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

While many Microsoft Dynamics Partners are moving towards Cloud-first business, for 1ClickFactory, one of the largest providers of Microsoft Azure services for Microsoft Dynamics products, it is critical to ensure a great experience for Cloud partners to help them excel in this area. And all this starts with carefully listening to the voice of our partners.

In October-November 2018 we have executed the Partner Satisfaction survey for 1ClickFactory Self-Provisioning for NAV/Business Central on Azure service to evaluate the current partners’ experience with the service. In this blog post I would like to share some exciting findings that this survey revealed.

We’re delighted to announce the news of our latest award from Microsoft, which honors us with the 2018 Microsoft Lithuania Partner Excellence Award as Cloud Ambassadors. This designation was awarded to us at the regional Microsoft Days recognizing 1ClickFactory for our breakthrough and rapid growth in cloud technologies and services, which is testament to the enormous effort and huge investment we have made into developing proprietary cloud solutions and services, such as our Self-Service Provisioning for Dynamics 365/NAV on Azure.
