Robert has been a Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant since 2008 and a general manufacturing consultant for over 25 years. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto mechanical engineering program where he focused on production engineering. In addition to a deep knowledge of Manufacturing Robert holds a Microsoft Systems Engineer designation and is much less of an expert in Networking and IT infrastructure than he thinks, but is still pretty good. He also has applied his engineering skills to learning programming, and is warned frequently by the professional developers who work for him that he is pretty good, but don't write any code for customers without letting them check it.

Everything you Need to Know About Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Manufacturing Modules

Over the last decade the manufacturing sector has undergone major changes in North America. There is always increased pressure from the likely sources – all the while customers are demanding faster delivery and more competitive prices at a higher level of quality and more and more product variation and innovation.

Dynamics GP Manufacturing vs Business Central

Is Business Central a viable upgrade path for a Dynamics GP Manufacturing customer?

Sabre Limited started as a Visual Manufacturing ERP aftermarket support company. Our first 100 to 200 customers were all users of Visual Manufacturing who needed expert manufacturing consulting to use the system better. In 2008 we began down a path to become an expert Dynamics GP manufacturing partner. Had we started this process 10 years earlier, I’m sure it would have been easier, but over time it became clear that Microsoft (and our market) were moving in a different direction.

Understanding the Microsoft Dynamics Cloud

Since the pandemic began, the world has discovered the cloud. This is true in so many ways, and for one very obvious reason. From Zoom to Teams to Microsoft Dynamics cloud ERP software, if you are a cloud vendor – the world is beating a path to your door.

For the Microsoft Dynamics cloud, it is the Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP that is really leading the way. The year over year growth of the product was already industry leading.

6 Benefits of a Remote Microsoft Dynamics Implementation

Sabre is a company that has successfully migrated from an all on-site Microsoft Dynamics implementation methodology to an all-remote implementation methodology over the past five years. Our specific skills are with Dynamics 365 Business Central, and our remote deployment refinement has focused on that product.

As a company experienced in remote deployment, we are in a unique position to share our experiences and expertise during this remarkable time. Given the new reality of COVID-19 and the global pandemic, the need for expertise in implementing ERP remotely (and maybe more important, at receiving a remote implementation) is something nobody could have anticipated.
