A business needs a focused and systematic approach to manage planning, development, manufacturing, marketing, sales, finances, operations, customer service, human resources and other day-to-day activities to cope with rapid expansion. Most businesses turn to Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) solutions such as Dynamics 365 and SAP to help. An ERP manages corporate processes through an integrated application<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">This can get complicated. Which ERP features do you need? What should your budget be and how do you calculate a return on investment? And most importantly: which vendor should you choose? These questions are all critical because choosing the right ERP for your enterprise can be a game-changing decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/info.sherweb.com\/How-to-Run-a-Successful-Business-with-Dynamics-365.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to download our free ebook on Dynamics 365 and get answers to your questions!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\">This is the first part of a series of three articles that compares Dynamics 365 to the ERP market leaders. The selected ERPs for this comparison are SAP, Oracle, and Infor. Part one of this series will focus on SAP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a flagship product for Microsoft. It launched in November 2016, was repackaged in July 2017, and is still evolving. In this comparison, we will not cover NAV, GP, AX, and SL. Instead, we will review Microsoft\u2019s new offering: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherweb.com\/blog\/dynamics-365-finance-operations-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations<\/a>.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-CA\"> This product is distinct since it is offered in the cloud opposed to other products which are bought and installed on premises<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Dynamics 365 comes with Cortana Intelligence and robust Business Intelligence tools and apps. This bundle makes it a solid contender in the ERP market, with the advantage of comparatively lower cost and easier implementation. Built with Microsoft technologies, it seamlessly integrates and synchronizes with most other Windows applications. For example, Dynamics 365 can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherweb.com\/blog\/dynamics-365-app-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sync with Outlook <\/a>allowing users to update sales quotes and inventory directly from email<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\">ERP is a massive integrated system and users are required to train for weeks or months. For Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, the learning curve is short. It gets a winning edge over others, due to its simple look and feel. The UI is straightforward and the easy to understand interface are key factors for purchasing. An overview of Dynamics 365 is pictured below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sherweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS-300x119.png\" alt=\"Dynamics 365 vs SAP\" width=\"809\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS-300x119.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS-768x304.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS-1024x405.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS-600x237.png 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battle-of-ERPS.png 1232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"288\"><strong>Key Strengths<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"288\"><strong>Key Weaknesses<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Affordable for SMBs<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">Limited support from integrators<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Smooth learning curve<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">Limited functionalities in certain areas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Easy integration of CRM<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">Lack of proof of scale for enterprise level ERP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Microsoft assets (Cortana Intelligence and BI tools, Azure)<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherweb.com\/microsoft-dynamics-365\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more on how to manage your business with Dynamics 365<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>SAP Overview<\/h2>\n<p>SAP is known as a market leader in ERP and an ideal solution for organizations. SAP is offered in 37 languages, 45 localizations, and 25 industry verticals. It has a strong standing in the market with about 50,000 customers. The functional modules\u2013Plan to Product, Order to Cash, Request to Service, Core Finances, Core Human Resources, covers your every industry\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does SAP fit the needs of multi-national organizations, but it is a friendly software solution for small enterprises too. SAP ERP can cater to all business size needs and delivers what it promises, but the cost is comparatively much higher than its competitor ERP Solutions. If consistency is important, then SAP is an excellent choice; its straightforward implementation can be customized using third-party solutions.<\/p>\n<p>SAP offers various ERP options to accommodate different market segments. For example, SAP Business By Design adapts to smaller companies who may not need full functionalities. This version focuses on ease of use and simplicity, a modern user interface and mobility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"288\"><strong>Key Strengths<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"288\"><strong>Key Weaknesses<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Established market leader<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">System complexity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">Depth of functionality<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">Steep learning curve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"288\">High integration of modules<\/td>\n<td width=\"288\">Longest payback period<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherweb.com\/infokit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Want more information on what a partnership with Sherweb looks like?
