Why Business Central SaaS is the backbone of the modern workplace

Written by Philippe Van Causbroeck | Jul 31, 2025 11:35:47 AM

Since the pandemic, the way we work has changed drastically. Hybrid and even fully remote work have become the norm, and employees now expect their digital workplace to be perfectly aligned with this new reality. Yet, many companies still rely on outdated ERP systems like NAV, Navision, or Business Central On-Prem, which are not well-equipped to support this modern way of working. In this blog, we’ll outline three clear advantages of upgrading to Business Central SaaS and why it’s a smart move for boosting employee satisfaction.

1. Increased productivity and job satisfaction

A user-friendly, integrated work environment boosts productivity and job satisfaction. Business Central SaaS offers a modern and intuitive user experience that aligns perfectly with how employees work today:

  • Seamless integration with other Microsoft cloud applications such as Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint), and Power Platform.
  • Always accessible from anywhere without the need for complex VPN connections or local server access.
  • Remote and hybrid work is made easier, as employees can log in from any device with an internet connection.

2. Documentation and support always available online

With a cloud-based system like Business Central SaaS, your organization benefits from continuous access to the latest documentation, updates, and support:
  • Up-to-date Microsoft documentation is always available online, simplifying IT management.
  • Automatic updates ensure you’re always working with the latest features and security patches—without downtime.
  • Community and support: Microsoft and its partners offer extensive online support, allowing questions to be resolved more quickly without relying on local consultants.

3. Security and continuity guaranteed

An on-premises ERP system comes with risks such as hardware failures, data loss, and security threats. Business Central SaaS offers:
  • Automatic backups and disaster recovery at no additional cost or effort.
  • Advanced security and compliance through Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure.
  • Scalability and flexibility, allowing your organization to grow easily without major IT investments

From upgrade to advantage

The move to Business Central SaaS is more than just a technical upgrade. It’s a strategic choice for building a future-proof organization. Your employees benefit from an intuitive and efficient work environment, while IT becomes less complex and easier to manage. Moreover, your business remains agile and ready to respond to changes in the market.
