Currently, more than 10,000 businesses use Business Central worldwide, which makes certification highly valuable in the eyes of potential employers.
Business Central is part of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 suite, and getting certified will validate your skills and ability to implement the core setup processes for small and medium businesses. You could expect to earn between $72,500 and $99,751 per year.
Pursuing this certification is an excellent way to increase your earning capacity when you’re not an established IT professional, or if you’re just starting your career and you’re trying to select a specialty.
One of the most popular enterprise resource planning systems, Business Central connects an organization’s operations and teams through one centralized software system.
Organizations choose Business Central to get the following benefits:
Business Central can be used on any device as well as on-premises.
Companies are regularly looking for ways to increase revenue, and most of the time, that requires hiring experts. You can be the Business Central expert that organizations seek to take their business to the next level.
Microsoft certifications indicate to organizations exactly what you’re capable of, which builds more certainty with regard to your skills. Many organizations will only hire certified consultants regardless of experience or proven results.
Any time you acquire a certification that helps you dramatically improve business processes, your value (and therefore your income) rises. When firms increase their efficiency, their revenue usually jumps, and they’re willing to pay top dollar for talent that can make that happen.
Here’s what various companies are doing with this software and why it solves so many challenges for them.
First of all, Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based ERP, which makes it easy to access from any device, anywhere in the world. Among businesses that have gone either fully or partially remote, this is perhaps the best feature.
Remote workers and contractors can get access to the organization’s system from home or anywhere else they choose to work. According to data published by Apollo Technical, 56% of businesses allow remote work, though only 16% have a fully remote workforce.
Still, that’s enough to make a cloud-based ERP worthwhile for most operations. Even firms that allow staff to work remotely only part of the time can benefit from Business Central.
For years, businesses have had to buy software licenses for individual applications in order to fulfill all their needs. When applications offer more than one core function, some additional functions aren’t necessarily useful.
One of the biggest reasons organizations say they choose Business Central is because it comes with a customer management platform (CRM) in addition to being an ERP. This makes it possible for clients to optimize their supply chain, finances, sales, and customer relationships using the same solution.
Having an ERP and CRM in one program also means data can be shared between the two features, which gives companies greater insights into their operations and supports stronger data-driven decisions.
Technically, you can step into any position if you’re a certified Business Central Consultant, provided that position involves managing and deploying a Business Central solution for the organization. Different companies have different titles, so what you find may vary.
