Why is Dynamics 365 for all Organizations?

Big or small, Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers something for every business. Organization size influences financial decisions and technological needs. Smaller businesses face challenges when deciding on the best enterprise resource planning (ERP) or customer relationship management (CRM) software to purchase. While Enterprise companies can afford the expensive licensing fees of custom integration, SMBs have to consider the price and ease of use and often must pick one over the other.

With Microsoft D365, there is flexibility, ease, speed of implementation, and a pricing structure that suits both SMB and large enterprises. No matter the size of your company, you can benefit from the extensive features and capabilities it offers.

Here are some reasons why all businesses should use the Dynamics platform:

1. Flexible Licensing Options

Dynamics 365 attracts both SMBs and large enterprises through flexible licensing allowing the purchase of only the specific apps and access levels (users) needed. Several choices are available to select the right combination of components to match requirements. Through these licensing options, even small businesses can afford it.

Also, it’s available in two editions; Business Edition and Enterprise Edition. Business Edition is for organizations with 10–250 employees. It is less expensive and provides a simplified version of the products. Enterprise Edition is for organizations with over 250 employees.

Since Dynamics 365 is made up of CRM and ERP solutions, deciding on the functionalities and the apps your organization needs will ensure that you do not pay for more than what you require.

2. Scalable Architecture

Dynamics 365 is an ideal solution for any business, especially a growing one as it allows scaling up and scaling down as needed. Organizations whose business processes change regularly will benefit from this flexible architecture. It’s scalability meets emerging needs, and its spectrum of upgradeable functions will adapt to any business structure.

3. Easier Customization and Integration

An SMB considers a solution that provides ease-of-use after the cost savings, but a large enterprise is concerned with security and advanced features. Fortunately, Microsoft Dynamics 365 uses a standard data model that runs on an open architecture. This makes the platform flexible and powerful allowing simple and secure transfer of information from one application to another. Also, the Dynamics 365 platform can be customized to adapt to business changes quickly and can be made to do almost anything.

Any company can work with it using the normal out of the box customizations taking less time to complete or opt for more elaborate integrations.  Most importantly, companies choose Dynamics because it allows them to do business the way they want to with a system that is easy to use, flexible and integrates with existing applications that are familiar to employees.

4. Access to your Data Anywhere and Anytime

Dynamics 365 integration with Office 365 ensures that regardless of your organization size and structure, you can work wherever you are accessing your company information whenever you desire via your web browser, or by Windows, iOS or Android applications.

Employees can use their favorite programs such as Microsoft Outlook, PowerPoint, or Word within the Dynamics platform. This allows organizations to increase productivity and revenue.
