A catch up with Nathan Cook
Jesse Lawrence
I caught up with Nathan Cook, after a busy first half of the season, to find out what is new and to discuss where things are going from a Microsoft point of view. You may have seen that we sponsor his car, however, the relationship is more than just providing advertising space. Nathan is a fully certified PGA golf coach, providing lessons at Southampton Golf club, Boundary Lakes in Hedge End and Skylark in Whiteley. As you can imagine, he works with a lot of business owners, and the latest updates from Microsoft are making this an exciting time for growing businesses. Microsoft Dynamics Business Central is making it easier for companies to grow for basic finance software to professional business management systems (ie ERP software).
An update on Nathan (and his crew!)
Nathan has been busy, coaching at three golf clubs! So much so that he has even taken on Dean Elder to coach at a fourth club - Lymington in the New Forest. He has also had a very busy year with competitions, check out the link for his results. He also has a number of competitions coming up, keep an eye out on our social media accounts for updates!

The excitement of Business Central
I spoke to Nathan about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the latest offering from Microsoft for business management. Based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the market-leading ERP solution, this software as a service (SAAS) solution allows smaller businesses to get started with a fully professional system. With our Fast Financials implementation packages, you can get started quickly and affordably, allowing companies to move from their basic finance software such as Sage, QuickBooks and Xero.
Why Manufacturers Need More Than a Standard CRM
Manufacturing businesses face daily pressures that standard CRM systems simply weren't designed to handle. Your teams need to manage complex product configurations, track quality standards, coordinate with suppliers, and maintain detailed production schedules whilst still nurturing customer relationships.
Do You Need a Separate CRM?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central includes customer relationship management features, but you might wonder if these tools are sufficient for your business needs.
