Logan Consulting recently hosted our Middle Market ERP Showdown, where we provided a side-by-side comparison of three leading ERP platforms: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Acumatica, and Oracle NetSuite.  The session explored how each platform approaches financial management, reporting, usability, scalability, integrations, and operational workflows, helping organizations better understand which ERP solution may align best with their business needs.    For those who were unable to attend live, the full recording is available and...

Government contractors working with the Department of Defense are under new pressure to prove where their data lives and how it is protected. With the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program now in effect, many finance and operations leaders assume their entire technology stack, including their ERP system, needs to move into a government cloud environment. For organizations running Business Central, that assumption is worth examining closely, because the actual...

As finance teams begin planning for 2027, many are still working from scattered spreadsheets, disconnected department files, and manual consolidation processes that slow down budgeting and introduce errors. Building a budget this way often means outdated numbers, competing file versions, and limited visibility into how actual performance is tracking against the plan throughout the year. Business Central offers a more connected way to approach budgeting, giving finance leaders the tools...

If your organization connects Business Central and SharePoint to pull documents, sync attachments, or expose files through a custom AL integration or Power Automate flow, there's a real chance that connection is already broken. It may have failed quietly enough that no one's connected the dots yet.  Microsoft retired Azure ACS (Access Control Service) app-only authentication for SharePoint Online on April 2, 2026. Any integration still authenticating through the old ACS model stopped working on that date,...

For years, Microsoft Dynamics GP has been a dependable financial management system for small and midsized businesses. But as organizations grow through adding locations, expanding product lines, or taking on more complex reporting requirements, many finance and operations teams start running into the limits of what GP was originally built to handle. Reports take longer to pull together, financial data ends up scattered across disconnected spreadsheets, and IT spends more time keeping the system...

A single missed component or overbooked machine can push a delivery date back days, and the ripple effects don't stop there. For companies still coordinating production through spreadsheets or disconnected systems, this kind of disruption is a routine cost of doing business. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central approaches this differently, building production scheduling directly into the same system that manages inventory, purchasing, and finance, so planners are working from one connected view rather than reconciling data across tools. ...

As organizations grow through acquisition, expansion into new markets, or the addition of new business units, managing financial data across multiple entities becomes increasingly difficult. Separate ledgers, disconnected systems, and manual consolidation processes can slow down reporting and introduce errors at exactly the moment leadership needs clear, accurate financial visibility. Multi-entity financial management addresses this challenge, giving organizations a unified way to manage finances across subsidiaries, locations, and business units without sacrificing accuracy or speed.  What...

For decades, Microsoft Dynamics GP has helped organizations manage financials, operations, and reporting. However, as Microsoft continues investing in cloud-based technologies, many GP users are beginning to evaluate what comes next. Increasingly, organizations are choosing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as their path forward. Migrating from GP to Business Central is about more than replacing software, it is an opportunity to modernize processes, improve visibility, and prepare for future growth.  Moving Beyond Legacy Limitations  While Dynamics GP remains a reliable ERP system,...

For organizations still running Microsoft Dynamics GP, the idea of migrating to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can seem daunting. Concerns around cost, disruption, complexity, and data migration often cause businesses to postpone modernization initiatives. As a result, many companies continue relying on aging ERP systems even as their operational needs evolve.  As Microsoft continues focusing its innovation efforts on cloud-based solutions, more GP users are evaluating Business Central as their next ERP...
