Deciding to Buy Business Central
Purchasing a piece of software that will manage every area of your business is not just a case of buying an install CD from PC World! It is a big decision, and with configurable, flexible software there needs to be understanding from your business and your chosen partner on what your requirements are. Our process takes customers through the following main stages:
- Understanding – we will spend a couple of hours doing a discovery of your business needs, which will allow us to provide some rough budgets and help us to know which areas of the system you will need to see. As a result, we may provide some quick look and feel demonstrations
- Seeing – we will provide an in-depth demonstration to your decision makers around the areas of the solution to show you how the new solution will help your business
- Requirements – before a final quotation can be provided, we will perform a paid functional requirement gathering, to put together an in dept report (Functional Requirements Document or FRD). This will allow us to quote against the work needed to implement your solution, including any development needed where your requirements are different from the standard solution
A Fast and Low-Cost Implementation
For some businesses, the cost or capability of an ERP solution may be more than they can justify, even if they would benefit from some of the functionality. When the systems of a business are a barrier to growth, this becomes a catch 22. Our solutions is simple – a fast, low cost “template” implementation of Business Central.
Introducing Fast Financials, the implementation of Business Central that gives the basic requirements that any business needs – financial management, order processing and as an option, inventory management. Of course, when you need more functionality, you can gradually grow the capability and implement the areas you need.

1. Purchasing the software, ie buying licenses for you to use it.
