Work from Anywhere: Access Dynamics 365 Business Central Anytime, On Any Device
Explore how Dynamics 365 Business Central supports remote work with flexible, anytime access across all devices.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to work from anywhere is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. According to Forbes, by 2025, 32.6 million Americans will work remotely, which equates to about 22% of the workforce. This projection suggests a continuous, yet gradual, shift towards remote work arrangements.
Interestingly, workers’ preference for remote work aligns with this trend. A staggering 98% of workers expressed the desire to work remotely, at least part of the time. This overwhelming figure reflects the workforce’s growing affinity towards the flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance that remote work offers. And, of course, there are field workers who always work remotely – repair technicians and the like.
Myth: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has Limited Accessibility
There is a myth that Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has limited accessibility due to its cloud-based nature. The truth is that Dynamics 365 Business Central can be accessed anytime, on any device—including mobile apps for iOS and Android. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to stay competitive in a global market where remote work has become the norm.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that integrates all facets of a business—finance, operations, sales, and customer service—into a unified platform. With real-time data and intelligent insights, businesses can streamline processes, improve customer interactions, and make informed decisions swiftly.
Adaptability
One of the key features of Dynamics 365 Business Central is its adaptability. Whether you’re on a desktop at the office, a laptop in a coffee shop, or using the mobile app on your smartphone while on the move, Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a consistent and secure experience. The system is designed with a mobile-first approach, ensuring the user interface is responsive and intuitive across all devices.
For administrators and developers, managing access to Dynamics 365 Business Central is straightforward and secure. Microsoft Entra, formerly Azure Active Directory, offers a high-level overview of access control, allowing for layered application security. This ensures that the right people have the right access to the right features, maintaining the integrity of business data.
The licensing model of Dynamics 365 Business Central is also designed with flexibility in mind. It accommodates different user needs, from full access for core users to read-only access for those who only occasionally need to view business data. This means that businesses can scale their use of the system according to their evolving requirements.
Moreover, the Dynamics 365 Business Central Server Administration tool facilitates the management of server instances, whether they’re on-premises or in the cloud. This tool is essential for configuring remote computers to receive Windows PowerShell remote commands, streamlining the administration process.
Empowering Smiles with Innovation: MegaGen’s Journey to Scalability
MegaGen believes in the power of a confident smile. Its mission is to empower smiles worldwide through groundbreaking dental innovations and a passion for patient well-being. It’s a journey where science, technology, and compassion converge to create brighter, healthier smiles for everyone.
MegaGen’s substantial growth in recent years put pressure on the existing systems and process flows within the organization. To support customer expectations, meet stringent FDA guidelines, and ensure greater security and remote access, MegaGen America needed a unified, scalable solution. Neither QuickBooks, nor the in-house developed perpetual inventory system, fulfilled these requirements. The on-premises environment lacked the ability to scale, and the organization suffered from limited visibility and slow access to information for order processing, shipment tracking, item traceability, returns, and more. This resulted in a significant amount of human effort to export and manipulate data for strategic decision making, forecasting and historical sales trends analysis. As a healthcare organization, lot track and trace are crucial for FDA requirements, and the time-consuming, manually driven processes were not keeping up.
MegaGen implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and can access it from any device with an internet connection.
“When our system was on-premises, it was challenging when there were weather issues and we needed to work from home,” says Benjamin Ahn, director of operations for MegaGen America. “Just yesterday, we had heavy snow and there were no issues in working from home with the new, cloud-based system,” continues Ahn.
