Rod O’Connor, CEO and founder of Briware Solutions, has been taking stock of a year living with SaaS business applications, both for his own company and some clients. Rod is an ERP and accounting software veteran based in Ontario and who has been a reseller and user of of Dynamics GP for many years. But last year he tried something different - he migrated his own business from GP to what was then known as Dynamics 365 Financials, now known as Finance and Operations Business Edition, and soon it’s likely to have yet another brand name.

Rod talks to us about what the adoption of SaaS has meant for his company, what it will mean for other SMB VARs who are still entrenched in the on-prem ERP world, and the evolution of Dynamics 365 and its add-on solution market so far.

Show notes:

  • 7:50 – Adjusting as D365FOB product has evolved.
  • 10:20 – Seeing features appear in a SaaS app at unexpected times
  • 11:30 – D365FOB as part of Briware’s expansion, and how its constantly expanding feature set changes the potential market space.
  • 15:00 – Experiences and best practices today for integrating D365FOB and the (enterprise) Sales app.
  • 16:45 – How to investigate new add-on apps for D365FOB
  • 22:20 – How Rod’s outlook has changed on traditional ERP-related services that go away in a SaaS world.
  • 25:00 – What to look forward to in the D365FOB roadmap as Tenerife approaches.
  • 26:40 – Could a traditional GP firm evolve to support Tenerife/NAV?
