    I think D365 has the ability to be useful for 90% of businesses out there. Its just a matter of if those costs make sense but as far as what is on the market today in my opinion MS is number 1.

    I have used everything from industry standard TMS systems to SAP to various BIs like Tableau and Power BI. The point is my background is varied, but what's nice is being it's MS anything you already use that is also Microsoft will make Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance feel way more natural and native, being you have used MS products for years likely.

    I have used Fund EZ and QuickBooks. Unit4 is for larger organizations and was needed for our scaling.

    • Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
    • Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
