Business Central Quick Start Implementation

Speed, Savings & Simplicity: Cloud2020 Launches Business Central Quick Start Implementation

In today’s fast-moving business environment, time and cost often stand between ambition and action. Standard ERP implementations can stretch across months, consume budgets, and create disruption. That’s why Cloud2020 is excited to launch our Business Central Quick Start Implementation, so that organisations can get up and running faster, smarter, and more affordably than ever before.

The Problem: ERP projects that drag and drain

Many companies hesitate to adopt or upgrade ERP systems because traditional projects carry big risks:

  • High cost overruns — implementation fees spiral beyond estimates.

  • Extended timelines — projects that take 6–12 months (or more) to deliver value.

  • Poor user adoption — users resist change or struggle to get comfortable.

  • Customisation complications — heavy tailoring makes upgrades harder in the future.

  • Integration headaches — disconnected systems, data silos, and manual handovers.

These risks are real. According to industry analysis, a significant portion of ERP (and Business Central) implementations fail or underdeliver when scoping, planning, and change management are weak. 

Meanwhile, many organisations running older systems (e.g. Dynamics GP, on-prem legacy tools) face rising maintenance costs, constraints on scalability, and inefficiencies that impede growth.

The Solution: Quick Start done right

Our Business Central Quick Start is designed to overcome these challenges by combining a lean, focused approach with expert execution. Here’s how it works:

FeatureWhat It Means for You
Predefined scope & templatesWe use proven starter templates and industry accelerators so you don’t reinvent the wheel.
Fast setup & configurationGet core financials, sales, purchasing, and reporting live in days—not months.
Guided onboarding & trainingRole-based user training and hand-holding ensure smooth adoption.
Minimum viable customisationWe prioritise essential tweaks only, to preserve upgradeability and reduce risk.
Post-launch support & extension planningAfter go-live, we help you evolve the system safely, iteratively.

 

Microsoft itself publishes “quick start” guides to help users with core Business Central functions, reinforcing the concept of getting started quickly and then layering in sophistication. 

By tailoring this “quick start” ethos to full ERP implementation, Cloud2020 can deliver a lean, value-first launch that doesn’t compromise future growth.

Why Business Central? Because it’s built for now and for growth

Business Central is Microsoft’s modern, cloud-first ERP solution for small and medium businesses—it brings core business functionality (finance, operations, inventory, projects) into a unified, powerful environment. 

Key advantages include:

  • Seamless integration with Microsoft 365, Teams, Power BI

  • Automatic updates & cloud infrastructure (no heavy on-premise overhead)

  • Scalable modularity — you can add functionality over time

  • Reduced total cost of ownership — fewer third-party add-ons, lower IT burden

  • Faster time to value — from day one, meaning better ROI

By combining Business Central’s built-in strengths with our rapid implementation methodology, we can deliver transformation on a timeline and cost structure that makes sense for growing businesses.

Who is a fit for Quick Start?

This is ideal for organisations that:

  • Want to replace legacy systems (Excel stacks, local accounting tools, outdated ERPs)

  • Need to improve visibility, reporting, and workflows quickly

  • Prefer a phased, low-risk approach over a “big bang” rollout

  • Are comfortable starting with core functionality and expanding over time

If your operations are relatively standard (procure, sell, inventory, general ledger), Quick Start is a strong match. Even in more complex industries, we can phase in advanced features later, once the core is stable.

Real benefits you can expect

  • Dramatic reduction in implementation time — from months down to weeks

  • Better control of costs & reduced overruns

  • Faster user adoption — with structured training and role clarity

  • Flexibility to evolve — without locking into an unmaintainable customized core

  • Quicker ROI — start realising value from month onean
