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

Want to stay always up-to-date?

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is built on Microsoft Azure, a global cloud service that gives you a 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 the Microsoft’s Power Platform ecosystem, which onboards you into loads of readymade integrations, apps, data insights and other value adding solutions.
