Business Central used to be Dynamics NAV, and before that, Navision. NAV has always been a partner-driven application. Customers buy the software from a partner, and the partner helps with implementation. A great model that has worked for over a million users across the globe.

Now, Business Central is a cloud offering; there’s no longer an installation. You no longer need an IT guy to install it and a consultant to help you set it up. You can do that yourself. Most customers still choose to get the consultant to help ensure you’re doing it right and off to a great start.

This book is written to help customers who venture into Business Central, with or without external help. Written to help understand the system and ensure a great experience starting with Business Central. The book is not written to be read from cover to cover. Instead, it’s meant to be a Field Guide. A companion book to help you through the implementation. And later, when you need information on a specific topic or if you need a bit of inspiration. The documentation from Microsoft is pretty good, and I’ll provide links for deep dive and background information.

The book will be published on a continuous schedule on LeanPub, and you will be notified when an update is available. I publish regular updates whenever something changes and when Microsoft introduces new versions and functionality.

Business Central covers a vast area of functionality, and the book includes the areas and issues I encounter in my daily work with Business Central customers. I’ll add new chapters and details based on my experience and reader feedback.
