Use Project Operations "lite" deployement in combination with Business Central instead of F&O?

Hi,

I do not understand why Microsoft sees Project Operations (Lite Deployment) only in combination with F&O. We think we have customers interested in combination with Business Central instead. There is only a big challenge because a minimum number if licenses of 20 pcs. In the BC world that can be too much. Especially compared to the BC license itself. Function wise I see a lot of opportunities in this combo. 

The integration with BC and Dataverse makes these combinations pretty logical....

Regards,

Jan Jaap Smit

    The best bet is to vote up the following idea on Experience, so that we can sell the idea of a Lite only SKU to Business Planning:

    At the moment the combination of ProjOps and BC is a midmarket offering due to the size of a combined ProjOps+BC implementation project and the lack of an OOTB integration. However, coupled with a robust platform strategy for Power Platform, the 20 seat minimum starts to be more appealing.

    One of the biggest challenges I've witnessed is the lack of partners in the partner ecosystem who are capable of productizing a midmarket implementation consisting of ProjOps and BC with a proven custom integration. In my experience this is primarily due to the typical profiles in ERP vs. CRM partners and their business focus. The partner ecosystem has a big gap in the partner space for smaller ERP+CRM partners, who would also have business acumen to productize a solution for ProjOps+BC.

    Unfortunately at the moment there isn't a great value prop for small businesses.
