Modern ERP isn’t just about managing transactions—it’s about enabling people to work smarter across the tools they already use every day. When Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is integrated with Microsoft 365, financials, operations, and collaboration come together in a way that removes friction and accelerates decision-making.
Rather than jumping between systems, teams can access data, take action, and collaborate without leaving familiar applications. Below are five key ways Business Central and Microsoft 365 work together to drive real efficiency gains across your organization.
1. Streamline Email Communication with Outlook
Email is still at the center of business communication, and Business Central brings context directly into Outlook. Users can view customer or vendor information, invoices, and transactions without switching systems—and even take actions directly from an email.
This reduces back-and-forth, minimizes errors from rekeying data, and ensures communication is always grounded in accurate, real-time information.
2. Seamless Data Management with Excel
Excel remains a powerful analysis tool for finance and operations teams. With Business Central, users can export and refresh live data, perform advanced analysis, and even push updates back into the system when appropriate.
The result is faster reporting, better visibility, and fewer manual workarounds—while maintaining the integrity of your ERP data.
3. Simplify Document Management with Word
Document creation doesn’t have to be a manual, repetitive task. Business Central integrates with Word to support customizable templates for documents like invoices, purchase orders, and statements.
By pulling data directly from Business Central into standardized templates, teams improve accuracy, save time, and maintain consistency across customer-facing documents.
4. Save Time with Power Automate
Repetitive tasks slow teams down—and that’s where Power Automate shines. By connecting Business Central workflows with Microsoft 365, organizations can automate approvals, notifications, data updates, and more.
Automation ensures processes are executed consistently, reduces manual effort, and allows your team to focus on higher-value work as the business scales.
5. Improve Collaboration with Teams
Collaboration works best when conversations are tied to context. With Business Central and Teams integration, users can discuss records, share updates, and receive automated notifications directly within Teams.
This centralized communication shortens decision cycles and keeps everyone aligned—without relying on disconnected emails or meetings.
