    Business Central is Software as a service (SaaS) - built on Microsoft Azure

    Want to stay up-to-date always?

    The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is built on Microsoft Azure, a global cloud service that gives you the secure and solid infrastructure a business requires.

    Today all research and development happens within the cloud. Software as a service (SaaS) supports businesses through times of change by keeping them up-to-date automatically. With SaaS you also get speed to market, innovative functionality and a competitive edge – all you need to face and overcome any new demand.


    Going SaaS does not mean you cannot customize your ERP, but it requires a new way of implementing these adjustments. Solteq can create extensions around your Business Central solution, keeping the core solution untouched and updatable. We also offer a wide range of readymade components and add-ons without the need to add a single line of code.


    The SaaS also enables you to take advantage of Microsoft’s Power Platform ecosystem, which onboards you into loads of readymade integrations, apps, data insights and other value adding solutions.

    Ecosystem with other Microsoft 365 solutions

    Business Central is fully integrated with Office 365. For Office 365 users, Business Central is a natural choice and gives the feeling of familiarity. It also works well with the other everyday Office tools like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PowerBI.

    Power Platform is a unified platform of low-code tools that spans Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, and standalone applications— and helps you analyze data, build solutions, automate processes, and create virtual agents to transform your business.


    This is a rapid application development platform that not only helps citizen developers who have limited coding abilities to innovate and build new solutions faster, due to the familiarity with user experience tools such as PowerPoint, but it is also a suite of powerful tools for professional developers that seamlessly integrates a rapid application development platform built from ground up to tightly integrate with pro development capabilities of Azure.


    Microsoft Power Platform is an intuitive, extensible platform of low-code tools that empowers all your users—regardless of their technical capability—to collaborate and build transformational solutions across your organization.
