Why Businesses Are Moving to International ERP Systems

Migrating from 1C to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central enables companies to move away from Russian-origin software and adopt a modern international ERP platform. Business Central automatically consolidates reporting across branches, giving management access to up-to-date P&L, cash flow, and actual product profitability without manually combining data in Excel.

Products Subject to the NSDC Sanctions and Legal Restrictions

Using sanctioned software may restrict participation in public tenders and cooperation with Western companies. Government oversight of corporate IT infrastructure is becoming stricter, while non-compliance creates legal and financial risks.

Technological Limitations of Scaling SQL Databases

Legacy software architecture makes it difficult to manage large data volumes, multiple legal entities, and complex accounting processes. Instead of scaling efficiently, businesses are forced to invest resources in maintaining system stability.

Lack of Direct Integration with International API Services

Local software solutions often require expensive workarounds to synchronize with cloud services, logistics providers, and EU marketplaces. Business Central connects to these services directly through ready-made connectors and standardized data exchange interfaces that Microsoft maintains and updates centrally.

Investor Requirements, Big Four Audits, and IPO Readiness

International investment funds impose strict requirements on financial reporting transparency. Business Central includes a built-in audit trail that simplifies Big Four audits, financial reporting preparation, and collaboration with investors.

Risk of Data Loss on Local Servers

Physical damage to your office, a hostile raid, or the seizure of on-premises hardware can bring business operations to a complete halt. Azure replicates data across servers in multiple EU data centers, while its cybersecurity protection meets banking-grade security standards.

What Motivates Ukrainian Businesses to Seek New ERP Solutions

Outdated tools significantly slow down company growth, while modern ERP technologies provide management with complete and transparent control over the company’s finances and resources. This helps eliminate management delays and accelerate decision-making.

Problem

Balance consolidation takes weeks because bank statements are reconciled manually and data is spread across separate spreadsheets. Management doesn’t see the actual cash-flow position until 10–15 days later, after some decisions have already been made.

What Business Central Provides

Automated bank statement imports, instant cost calculation, and a complete financial period close within three days.

Problem

Inventory discrepancies, delays in order picking, and a lack of up-to-date data lead to downtime and financial losses. Stocktaking takes weeks, while shortages are often discovered only after a shipment has already been disrupted.

What Business Central Provides

WMS-enabled bin management, automated picking route optimization, and real-time tracking of goods in transit.

Problem

When data is transferred manually between Excel spreadsheets, it can be lost or duplicated. No department can be certain that it is working with up-to-date information.

What Business Central Provides

A single source of truth where creating a sales order automatically reserves inventory in the warehouse and generates an invoice without any manual data duplication.

Problem

The business owner is forced to personally approve minor payments because the process can’t be trusted. Delegating financial decisions without a reliable control system creates a risk of misuse or errors.

What Business Central Provides

A configurable approval matrix in the Workflow module based on transaction amounts, financial responsibility centers, and expense categories.

Problem

Managers spend up to 40% of their working day manually completing repetitive documents. Day-to-day operational tasks consume resources that should be directed toward strategic priorities.

What Business Central Provides

Document templates, automated recurring invoicing, and automatic order creation.

Problem

Collecting source documents creates chaos and stress for the accounting team. Data is scattered, some documents are missing, and every audit turns into a stressful project lasting several weeks.

What Business Central Provides

The system is designed from the outset around strict principles of transparent and easy-to-understand financial auditing. Every transaction is fully traceable, and a complete audit trail is generated automatically.

Problem

The on-premises database is not designed for large-scale operations. Multi-currency accounting, the simultaneous operation of multiple legal entities, and high transaction volumes lead to system failures and reduced performance.

What Business Central Provides

Automatic horizontal scaling of Azure cloud resources during peak workloads, without performance degradation or intervention from the IT team.

Key ERP Modules for Migrating from 1C

A comprehensive migration from 1C transfers the company’s business processes into a unified ERP system with interconnected functional modules. Existing business logic is preserved and automated through system workflows and triggers, helping minimize human error, duplicate operations, and repetitive tasks.

Where Implementation Begins: Two Pre-Project Assessment Formats

Rapid Assessment

Process: Two or three meetings with the client: interviews and identification of the client’s key problems. Based on our expert assessment, we prepare a list of the required work and present it to the client.

Primary Purpose: A general understanding of the project’s scale for the first decision: which system to choose and whether to move forward.

Outcome: A preliminary estimate of scope, timeline, and budget. The accuracy is indicative: actual figures may differ significantly.

Duration and Cost: From one day to two weeks. Free of charge.

Business analytics and financial dashboard

Pre-Project Discovery

Process:

  • A series of interviews with users across every area of automation, with each meeting formally documented;
  • We build and present the target model using the client’s real examples (mapping the client’s actual processes against standard functionality and future subsystems);
  • We conduct a Fit-Gap analysis to identify areas where standard functionality does not fit the business;
  • A technical specification for each required customization;
  • The final project estimate.

Primary Purpose: Understanding the project’s real scope before it starts.

Outcome: High estimate accuracy (a margin of error of up to 10%) and controlled cost. The client receives a validated model of the future system, a technical specification, a project estimate, an implementation schedule, and a roadmap.

Duration and Cost: A separate phase that precedes the project. Cost ranges from 5% to 30% of the budget: the fewer customizations the project requires, the lower the assessment cost.

Implementation Methodology and Process

Most ERP project issues arise not because of the system itself, but because of the implementation approach. We have refined our methodology over 25 years and more than 200 projects. Here is how it works.

1. Pre-Project Assessment

Search and data analysis icon

We conduct a series of interviews with users across all areas subject to automation and document the existing processes and requirements. We model the processes using the standard system configuration and validate their accuracy with the client. Based on the Fit-Gap analysis, we identify differences between the company’s business needs and the standard functionality, prepare the technical specifications, and assess the feasibility of each customization.

2. Project Schedule and Roadmap

Office printer icon

Based on the Discovery results, CBPM Service specialists present the client with the future system model, technical specifications, project estimate, and implementation approach. We agree on the project schedule and roadmap with the client and the project team before implementation begins.

3. Migration Scope Definition

Digital transformation magic wand icon

CBPM Service analysts determine the list of data objects, migration format, and transfer sequence and agree on them with the client.

4. Configuration and Development

Business analytics bar chart icon

We run implementation using a sprint-based methodology, with coordination meetings every two weeks and a mandatory monthly meeting with the project sponsor. This ensures effective project control and a transparent status at every stage. We complete all customizations in accordance with the approved technical specification and demonstrate the finished functionality to the client.

5. Initial Training

Training and education icon

We provide initial training for the client’s team so that users can work with the system while testing it against their actual business processes.

6. Migration to the Test Environment

Computer workstation icon

We process master data and item records separately from opening balances, including inventory, cash balances, customer and supplier settlements, and payroll balances. Before migration, we map and clean outdated data. Our experts export data using dedicated scripts as of an agreed date, and transfer the approved scope to the test environment.

7. User Acceptance Testing and Customization

Business partnership handshake icon

The client operates the new system in a test environment. Based on the results, we either proceed directly to production or document the required customizations.

8. Production Launch and Support

Air travel and transportation icon

We complete the agreed customizations and confirm that the system is ready for production use. The operational environment is then switched to the new system. CBPM Service consultants work alongside the client’s employees during the first reporting period close, document any issues, and promptly resolve deviations. CBPM’s experts provide ongoing support and maintenance per the SLA.

What Determines the Success of an ERP Project: Shared Responsibility for the Outcome

Successful ERP projects have several common prerequisites on the client’s side. We discuss them before the project begins to ensure delivery within the agreed budget and timeline. Each of these requirements is based on lessons learned from previous projects and has helped our clients avoid unnecessary costs.

Project Roles and Responsibilities

The client appoints a project team, including a key user and a project sponsor. Roles and responsibilities must be clearly defined: who is responsible for the budget, who approves scope changes, and who oversees the completion of specific tasks.

Coordination Meetings

Regular coordination meetings keep both parties aligned on the project status, budget, and workstreams. We hold status meetings every two weeks and conduct monthly steering meetings with the project sponsor to review overall progress and discuss strategic direction.

Project Management

Our project methodology includes dedicated time and budget for project management activities such as planning, execution monitoring, and meeting documentation. This ensures continuous oversight of tasks and adherence to project timelines. On the technical side, we support the implementation with structured maintenance activities, including configuration change documentation and release management.

Following an Agile sprint-based approach together with these practices is the foundation of a successfully delivered ERP project.

Client Team Involvement

We prepare and agree on a resource allocation plan for the client’s specialists and expect it to be followed throughout the project. The plan specifies which team members are required and the percentage of their availability for each month (for example, 50%). This allows the project team to work without interruptions and keeps the implementation on schedule.

Motivation of the Client's Team

The client approves an internal incentive policy for the project team based on the successful implementation of the ERP system. Projects are consistently delivered more effectively when the client’s internal team is motivated by clear performance-based incentives.

Timeline Discipline

If the client delays the agreed project schedule by more than 30 days due to reasons within their control, the cost of the remaining work automatically increases by 30%. The purpose of this policy is not to generate additional revenue but to protect the project budget, scope, and delivery timeline.

Downtime Compensation

If the implementation team is unable to work because of delays on the client’s side, the downtime is compensated at 70% of the previously planned workload. The implementation team is dedicated to the project, and its capacity is reserved in advance.

Mutual Commitments from the Implementation Partner

Where the client fulfills these commitments, we guarantee compliance with the agreed project timeline on our side. Otherwise, reciprocal penalties apply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A full migration from 1C typically takes 6 to 9 months. The timeline depends on the quality of the existing database and the number of unique business processes. Thanks to our Agile implementation methodology, the first modules, such as Sales or Warehouse Management, can go live within 8–12 weeks from project kickoff.

    Yes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports Ukrainian accounting and tax compliance through localization and system configuration. This enables companies to continue using their existing chart of accounts, document templates, and statutory reporting without maintaining parallel accounting systems or duplicating documents.

    No. Business operations do not need to be interrupted. Deployment, customization, and historical data migration are carried out in a dedicated Microsoft Azure test environment. The final transfer of opening balances and user cutover to the production ERP system is completed over a weekend within 24–48 hours, allowing shipping and sales operations to continue without disruption.

    The most common issues include incomplete master data, duplicate customer and vendor records, and open transactions from previous years. These are the primary factors that slow down 1C migrations. We address them with automated data validation scripts that clean, validate, and structure the data before the import process begins.

    The project budget includes consulting services (business analysis, system configuration, data migration, and user training) as well as Microsoft SaaS licensing costs. All project expenses are estimated during the pre-sales phase and contractually fixed before implementation begins.
