About
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based ERP solution for small and midsize businesses, covering finance, supply chain, project management, and sales in a single platform. Trusted by 50,000+ companies globally, it is widely used at smaller AE firms, specialty subcontractors, and building-product manufacturers that need integrated financial management without the complexity of enterprise-grade F&O. Deep integration with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Teams) and Power BI is a key differentiator for Microsoft-centric AEC offices.
