SMBs Optimize Business Central ERP Costs
In a March 31, 2026 guide, the article advises SMBs on budgeting for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, breaking down licensing, implementation, migration, training and support costs. It lists 2026 license prices (Essentials ~$80, Premium ~$110, Team Member ~$8, Device $40–$45) and implementation ranges ($30k–$100k+, complex projects up to 3–5× annual licenses). It warns to plan for AI consumption and ongoing support.
