If you’re a CFO considering moving from Dynamics GP to Microsoft Business Central (BC), it’s understandable to feel a bit hesitant.

Hesitancy to Move from Dynamics GP to Business Central

From a CFO’s perspective, moving from Dynamics GP to the cloud-based Business Central often comes with a mix of excitement and concern. The potential for improved efficiency and growth is promising, but the shift away from familiar tools—like Management Reporter—can feel like a big leap.

The thought of switching reporting systems and the potential challenges of cloud migration led to understandable hesitation. Brandon Malanowski, CFO at Sprenger Health Care Systems, questioned whether they would be able to maintain the same level of detailed financial insights and whether the new tools would require an overwhelming learning curve.

Loss of Management Reporter and the Challenge of Replacement

Management Reporter has been a valuable tool for many companies using Dynamics GP, providing in-depth insights for complex financial reporting. Many reporting solutions available for Business Central simply don’t provide the same depth of analysis and reporting flexibility.

For example, some popular solutions base their offerings on Excel – a familiar tool in the financial world. But for those with complex financial structures—like multiple entities or legal divisions—these basic solutions simply don’t have what it takes to fulfill their needs.

Brandon shared that, with 80 legal entities, the Excel-based tool they first tried wasn’t going to get the job done. They needed a robust, yet user-friendly solution that could handle significant complexity without slowing the team down.

Discovering FYIsoft: The Perfect Fit for Complex Reporting in Business Central

After an exhaustive search and trial of different reporting alternatives, Brandon found FYIsoft. It quickly became clear that it was exactly what the finance team was looking for—a comprehensive solution that not only met all their needs but also added valuable features to streamline their processes.

The moment it was introduced, it made an immediate impact:

• Easy Integration and Usability: FYIsoft integrated seamlessly with Business Central, and the learning curve was minimal. The team could jump right in without struggling through lengthy training sessions.
• Time-Saving Features: With the new features it provided, they saved about 50% of the time spent on reporting.
• Distribution Lists: Instead of exporting reports one by one, FYIsoft made it easy to distribute reports to the right individuals automatically, saving both time and hassle.

This level of efficiency moved Brandon to say with confidence that FYIsoft was everything their team needed to make the switch to Business Central a successful and rewarding decision.
