Dynamics 365 Business Central enhances productivity by connecting data with familiar tools like Excel, Outlook, and Teams. This integration allows employees to access timely information and collaborate directly within their preferred applications, reducing the need to switch between different apps. By streamlining workflows and providing real-time data, employees can focus on their core tasks, ultimately saving time and improving decision-making.

Frequent app-switching significantly impacts employee productivity. On average, users toggle between different applications nearly 1,200 times each day, spending about four hours per week just reorienting themselves after switching. This adds up to approximately five working weeks annually, which accounts for around 9% of their total work time. This constant switching can be mentally draining and time-consuming, highlighting the need for integrated solutions.

Business Central and Microsoft 365 collaborate by providing a unified experience where data seamlessly connects with productivity applications. This integration allows employees to share and access real-time data within Teams, streamline tasks in Excel, and manage customer interactions directly from Outlook. By enabling these connections, businesses can improve collaboration, enhance efficiency, and leverage AI capabilities to automate routine tasks, ultimately reshaping how work gets done.
