Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Business Enterprise ERP

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an all-in-one business management solution designed for small to mid-sised businesses. It integrates financials, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, customer service, and operations into a single platform, providing a seamless and efficient ERP experience. Business Central enhances productivity, scalability, and decision-making with AI-powered insights and cloud-based accessibility.

It is the successor of Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision), which has a rich history dating back to 1984. Originally developed by a Danish company, Navision Software A/S, NAV became a part of Microsoft in 2002, after which it evolved into a globally recognised ERP system.

NAV was widely adopted due to its flexibility, scalability, and deep industry-specific capabilities. With the rise of cloud computing, Microsoft rebranded NAV as Dynamics 365 Business Central in 2018, integrating it into the broader Dynamics 365 ecosystem with advanced AI, analytics, and automation capabilities.
