I think Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is well suited to an established company that is relatively inflexible and large. It contains very large divisions or even separate entities that all feed into the same database / g/l structure. The optimal company will not have many changes over time, and will be configured once and any new divisions or companies will be forced to fit into the corporate dictated structure and rules.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is more robust, and can handle larger, more complex business operations, and have better delineation between corporate management and divisions in a company, but it is not flexible, nor easy to change. It is complex, inflexible, and difficult to incorporate new workflows or business rules to accommodate changes in the business. We have changed over the past decade and while F&O is big and robust, it is not nimble.

• Because F&O is not very nimble, we are looking to reimplement
• The lack of interoperability has hindered our ability to use external tools to supplement shortcomings of the product
• The inflexibility has lead to great frustration from team leads
