The Problem

When Microsoft announced Dynamics AX's retirement, Giesen Group needed one cloud-based system to manage production, operations, and sales for its 12-person team. Its legacy report writer required custom coding for every report, so the replacement needed an equally flexible reporting tool.

The Solution

Giesen Group moved to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central paired with Solver for reporting and planning. The switch let the winery retire on-premise servers, reduce its reliance on IT for maintenance and support, and standardize its chart of accounts and vendor and customer numbering.
