After getting in touch with us, we assess the problems and management needs of your business, and how this ERP can help you address the challenges.

2. Project offer

Based on your requirements, we prepare a proposal detailing the project phases, delivery times, methodology, and service price.

At ARBENTIA, we guarantee high-quality and flexible technical support, providing various ways for our clients to contact us whenever they need.

Frequently asked questions

The implementation process varies according to the specific needs of each company, but generally includes system configuration, data migration, and staff training. The implementation time also depends on the size and complexity of your company, but it usually ranges from a few months to a year.

Business Central uses advanced data security technology, including end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and compliance with security standards such as GDPR. Additionally, Microsoft provides regular security updates to protect against emerging threats.

ARBENTIA offers comprehensive technical support and maintenance services after the implementation of Business Central. This includes assistance with resolving technical issues, additional training for staff, and ongoing consulting to optimize the use of the platform in your company.

Business Central Pricing and Licensing

The price of this solution primarily depends on two factors: the implementation services contracted (calculated based on an estimate of the hours the consulting team will need to dedicate to the project) and the chosen licensing model.
There are two licensing options for Microsoft Business Central:

  • On-Premise License: This option involves a one-time payment for unlimited use of the software (license purchase).
