If most of your IT is still on-site, plan in 2022 to begin the digital transformation process.  

If you are still managing servers onsite, we suggest taking some time to learn the benefits that cloud-based servers can bring. The savings in time and cost can be significant. And a cloud-based server system provides top-level security, with reliable uptime, easy remote access, and automated server software updates. It removes the labor spent by internal IT staff managing servers and allows them to focus on more value-added projects for the company. The cost of monthly fees over a 3 to 5 year period is significantly less than continuing with on-premise servers.    

If you have not yet made the move to Business Central (BC), this is the year to start the planning. Microsoft continues to provide financial incentives for customers moving to BC. At the time of this newsletter, Microsoft had released BC 19. The road map for the next 5 years and beyond is strong with new and exciting enhancements. Once on BC, the cost of updates and upgrades drops significantly. BC provides the in-office or remote connectivity that all companies need.

Finally, the Microsoft Power Platform Suite of products provides end-users with the ability to craft reports, business applications, customer surveys, and more without formal training. Microsoft calls this “citizen programming” and it truly has become that. The Power Suite opens an entire world of possibilities for improving your business operations utilizing in-house staff.

Innovia has been preaching digital transformation for a few years now. Many of our customers have started the journey and are seeing excellent results. Our entire staff can help you navigate your journey from beginning to end. We are here to answer any questions. So give us a call; we'd be more than happy to discuss this in much more detail.
