The State of Business Central and Manufacturing Report

This is the result of global market research with 318 respondents from 58 countries on all continents. The 69-pages report provides statistically relevant market data about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (and Dynamics NAV) and the degree it is adopted and used by both manufacturing companies and partners selling to manufacturing clients. Hence, it shows findings from both surveying customers and partners.
