Looking for the Right Microsoft Solution to Support Finance + Cross-Team Collaboration

Hi, community,

We're exploring Microsoft products to help our Finance team manage core financial functions efficiently. We also want the ability to track and collaborate on work from other departments, such as Marketing, HR, Recruitment, and possibly more.

Ideally, we're looking for a solution that allows:

Financial management and reporting

Budgeting and cost tracking

Visibility into cross-functional projects/tasks

Integration or seamless communication between departments

Would Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations be the right fit for this, or would it make more sense to look into something like Business Central etc.,

I appreciate any insights or recommendations, especially from those who've implemented similar solutions!

Hi,

This is a question that can't be answered in two minutes. There are many factors involved to recommend the best solution for your organization.

As I don't know your organization and processes, it is impossible to suggest what solution will be a better fit.

Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations has a lot more features compared to Business Central. E.g. HR and Recruitment is covered in the Human Resources which is part of F&O. For Business Central there might be good ISV solutions to cover those scenarios.

Then there are still a lot of other variables like multi-country in a single environment, what exact HR features are you looking for? What marketing processes should be possible?

It would be recommended to first have an overview on your processes and ask partners or an independent advisory company for detailed information and confirmation of supported features for all your processes.

I wish I could explain the requirement in simpler terms, but Pre-sales is more complex than it appears. My suggestion would be that it all depends on your specific requirements. In general, if you have an organization large enough to benefit from F&O, it’s definitely worth considering, along with the modules you need, which can be implemented one by one.

Business Central, on the other hand, is a great option for organizations with 25 to 150 people, especially when you have some ISV solutions and out-of-the-box features, as it is much more cost-effective than F&O.
