Dynamics 365 Business Central is doing well—and that’s an understatement. Microsoft’s cloud-based ERP solution for SMBs recently surpassed the 15,000-customer mark. In recent months, they’ve seen growth of no less than 1,000 new customers per month. That monthly growth has doubled in the past period! The number of users per implementation has also increased with 200%. Impressive, if you ask us. So we can safely say that Dynamics 365 Business Central is likely the fastest-growing cloud ERP solution in the world.
The customer count for Dynamics 365 Business Central has now reached 15,000, and the number of users is growing by 200% annually. Microsoft General Manager Mike Morton shared this news some time ago. During the DIRECTIONS North America event for Dynamics NAV and Business Central partners, he looked back on a successful period. In November 2020, he had just announced the milestone of 10,000 customers for Business Central. They have since easily surpassed that figure.
The new figures imply a growth of no less than 5,000 customer organizations in just 5 months. For those who can count, that's 1,000 new customers per month! Between October 2019 and November 2020, the growth was 500 new customers per month. A spectacular acceleration, therefore!
Business Central SaaS serves as the daily foundation for organizations to make numerous small operational decisions, as well as crucial strategic decisions. Additionally, for many, Business Central is the backbone of their digital transformation processes.
Microsoft's goal is clear: “We are making Dynamics 365 Business Central the best ERP solution in the world for SMEs!” To achieve this, they are consciously working on improving the implementation or onboarding system. It needs to be simpler, faster, and cheaper. This way, potential new customers can make a decision more quickly. The number of available apps for Business Central is also growing enormously.
Besides all the fireworks around Business Central in the cloud, Morton also had another important message for his partners. He assured them that both Business Central on-premise and Dynamics NAV will continue to be actively supported. “We are very committed to these products.”, "yes," he said. “Whether you're using an on-premises solution or already working in the cloud, Microsoft has your back.“
