One of the main benefits of using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is its powerful scalability. Usage can be increased or decreased depending on user headcount, while the system can also be adapted to support unforeseen market changes, company mergers and more. Business Central is designed to meet your short and long-term needs, enabling you to quickly scale to any size without significant delay.

How can Business Central help with a growing business?
The scalability of your ERP is vitally important as your business continues to grow, ensuring you have a reliable and flexible system that can respond to your changing needs.
There is no limit on how far you can grow Business Central, with 80 GB of database storage capacity made available across all environments. For many businesses this tends to be enough, however, if you need to increase the capacity this can be easily done by purchasing add-ons to your existing licence.
This capacity covers both production and sandbox environments, with every Premium or Essential subscription customer having access to one production environment and three sandbox environments for free. As a result, it enables administrators to build new environments for:
- Expanding within your current country
- Moving into more countries
- Creating more business branches
- Learning new product capabilities
- Development
- Testing changes
If needed, you can also purchase additional production environments which will also come with three sandbox environments included.
Financial scalability
When a financial forecast predicts strong growth over a certain period, some businesses look to adopt solutions they believe will offer the support they need, which leads to a transition over to new technology and a raft of new technical complications. In many cases, the time, money and effort it takes to make this move is not needed, especially if you are aware of the full capabilities of the current system.
As sales grow and the need for larger accounting capabilities expands, you will not have to migrate if you are already using Business Central. The system is built to meet the needs and demands of a modern, growing business, offering comprehensive and scalable accounting solutions within its package. Even if you are growing internationally, Business Central is globally scalable, enabling you to flawlessly record multiple currency transactions, with a host of functions that can also be automated.
Scalability for businesses of all sizes
For larger businesses looking to expand, Business Central continues to provide regular performance enhancements to ensure you can continue to expand. For example, features like SQL Compression helps to reduce database volume while also boosting performance. At the same time, it keeps a close eye on unanticipated growth while giving users support so issues are spotted at an early stage.
Database costs can be easily tracked and managed via the Central Admin Dashboard, ensuring you have clear visibility of your data so you know what is being used and how this could affect your budget.
