Local or Global ERP – Which Is Right for Your Business?
If you’re searching for an ERP system for your company, you’re likely facing a key decision: should you choose a solution from a local provider or opt for a global system developed by an international vendor?
Local ERP systems often have one undeniable advantage – they are well-aligned with national specifics. Local roots, regulatory compliance, and a strong understanding of the local context make implementation appear more convenient. But is that enough to build a true competitive edge?
Today, we’d like to highlight the benefits of choosing an ERP system from a global provider – Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – a solution that combines the strengths of a global platform, like continuous updates and access to the latest AI features, with full compliance with local regulations.
Business Central: Why Choose a Global ERP System with Local Support?
Local Localization and Legal Compliance
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an ERP system developed by Microsoft, designed to meet the needs of businesses operating in diverse legal and economic environments around the world. With over 100 localizations and support for more than 45 languages, it offers comprehensive compliance with regional tax systems, reporting standards, and business practices.
The system includes:
- Seamless integration with local government and financial authorities,
- Compliance with country-specific e-invoicing and tax reporting requirements,
- Standardized reports aligned with legal regulations and industry best practices,
- Continuous updates to reflect changes in local laws and market conditions.
Localizations are developed and maintained directly by Microsoft in close cooperation with certified implementation partners, ensuring stability, regular improvements, and long-term support.
Additionally, Business Central enables integration with local banks and financial institutions, facilitating smooth and compliant financial operations across markets.
Business Central: Ongoing Updates and Security
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based system that is updated automatically every six months. Each release includes:
- New features tailored to the evolving needs of businesses,
- Security patches,
- Updates reflecting changes in legal regulations (including Polish law).
As a result, your company doesn’t need to worry about outdated software or sudden costs to stay compliant – everything happens in the background, with no disruption to daily operations.
Business Central – AI and Automation
One of the key advantages of global ERP systems is access to the latest technologies. Business Central is regularly enhanced with artificial intelligence and automation features that:
- Accelerate accounting and sales processes,
- Enable demand, payment, and inventory forecasting,
- Support real-time decision-making through advanced analytics,
- Automate repetitive tasks (e.g., payment reminders, account reconciliation).
These are tools that, just a few years ago, were reserved for the largest enterprises – and today, you can benefit from them right after implementation.
