Future-Proof Your Food Business with AI and the Cloud

    Imagine having an extra set of hands in your food business – one that never tires, analyzes massive datasets instantly, and helps your team make smarter, faster decisions. That’s exactly what Generative AI and cloud-based ERP can do. But if your business is still running on Dynamics GP or NAV on-premises, you might be missing out on tools that can optimize production, enhance traceability, and reduce operational bottlenecks.

    To help organizations move forward without disrupting operations, Microsoft has introduced the Bridge to the Cloud 2 program and Accelerate, Innovate, Move (AIM) initiative. These programs make it easier and more affordable to migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

    AIM: Your Strategic Guide to Cloud Migration

    To empower businesses of all sizes to take full advantage of AI-powered technologies, Microsoft has introduced AIM (Accelerate, Innovate, Move):

    1. Accelerate: Begin with assessments to understand the value and steps for cloud migration.
    2. Innovate: Gain expert implementation guidance to reduce risks and accelerate value.
    3. Move: Access exclusive offers and support for scaling business operations in the cloud. This comprehensive program is designed to help businesses migrate to the cloud and leverage AI-powered technologies.

    Bridge to the Cloud 2: Exclusive Savings on Migration

    This comprehensive program is designed to help businesses migrate to the cloud and leverage AI-powered technologies. An aspect of “Move” is the Bridge to Cloud 2 program.

    An update from the original Bridge to the Cloud offer, with Bridge to the Cloud 2, any eligible Dynamics on-premises commercial customers can receive a 40% discount during a 3-year term when migrating to most Dynamics 365 online products – this includes Business Central.
