4 reasons why Business Central is easy to learn and use

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is being embraced by more and more companies. One of the biggest advantages of Business Central is that you quickly learn how to work with the system. That makes for a short implementation and pleasant user experience. But why is Business Central so easy to learn and use?

Tell me what you want to do" 1.

Business Central's search function has answers to all your questions. Accessible at the top of the bar at any time, this feature not only helps you find the right field or get to the right page, but goes much further. For example, when you type "Payments," you will be offered the following help:

  • Where payments is on the current page;
  • What other pages there are, such as "Receive payments from customers" or "Register payments from customers.
  • What reports and analyses there are regarding payments;
  • What documentation on payments is available;
  • What apps there are in Microsoft Appsource that might help you.

2. The Role Centers

The homepages in Business Central are the Role Centers and these are designed to provide information directly to users that is relevant to them. For example, for Sales, Finance, Rental, Service or Parts. In your home screen, you immediately see the KPIs that are important to you, you have tiles showing your workload and progress, and you can quickly initiate the actions that are common to you. But you can make it even easier for yourself by personalizing the Role Center. Through "Settings," select "Personalize," and in that mode you can move or hide items in the Role Center. You can always reverse all or part of these changes later. Personalization can be done for the top menu, 'Quick Access' buttons, headlines and all other page elements.

3. Intuitive colors, icons and screens

No other software company pays as much attention to the user interface as Microsoft. While Business Central is a business system and thus aimed at the B2B market, Microsoft realizes that the end user is a person and that this user desires an optimal experience. As a result, the system is extremely intuitive and user-friendly. This is reflected in the layout of menus and screens, but also in the use of colors and icons. Those who have some experience with Microsoft software programs (and almost all of us do) have an immediate head start in learning how to work with Business Central. Users for whom the system is completely new will become familiar with it in no time.

4. There is always someone who can help you

Another big advantage of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is its huge user community. With hundreds of Microsoft Dynamics partners and the many thousands of customers and end users, there is always someone who can help you. There is extensive documentation available, countless instructional videos, forums where you can ask your questions and companies with Business Central specialists to solve your problem.
