It’s a common misconception that implementing a new finance system is complex, time-consuming, disruptive, and expensive. Bam Boom Cloud prove this theory wrong, and we are glad to be partnered with them to offer their unique, non-traditional approach to Business Central implementation. They keep implementations small and simple, letting you expand and grow into your new system over time.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY FROM BAM BOOM CLOUD
“When Bam Boom Cloud first started doing Business Central implementations, or NAV as it was called back then, we did the on-premise, development-heavy stuff and our consultants drove up and down the country meeting clients face to face. No two projects were ever the same and discovery workshops and requirements documents were always needed.
However, as we built up our knowledge and experience, we started to question whether there was a better way to do things. Our first foray into developing a more repeatable model was the creation of a single NAV solution for palletised freight companies. But it turned out this was not quite as scalable as we’d hoped due to some industry quirks and limitations of NAV at the time. Back to the drawing board…
Undeterred, once Business Central came on the scene in 2018 to replace NAV we had another shot at standardising our methods – and this time it worked! NAV had gained a negative reputation for high expense and high complexity that was excluding small businesses from the party, so we decided it was time to change things up and make Business Central more accessible and affordable.
This led us on the path to where we are today – serving small businesses only, providing affordable, remote, repeatable implementations and constantly innovating the way we deliver and support Business Central.”
HOW THEIR IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH WORKS
Bam Boom Cloud simplify the way you’re able to purchase and deploy Business Central, by opting for a fixed scope/fixed fee approach to implementation, compared to the ‘traditional’ scope led methodology which ends up being a very time consuming and in turn costly way to obtain BC.
Instead, they split the different features of Business Central into smaller modules, from core accounting functionality which most businesses require to get up and running, through to stock management and multi company set up. Splitting the features into fixed scope modules means you only select and implement what you require, cutting costs of your project massively.
Also by offering fixed scope, out of the box functionality of Business Central, Bam Boom Cloud offer far quicker implementations than a traditional partner due to the repeatable nature of the projects. This does mean that complex, bespoke implementations are off the cards, however having focussed on the SMB market for years, Bam Boom Cloud have found out that more simple deployments of the Business Central work well for smaller companies, allowing their solution to scale and grow alongside them.
WHY THEIR METHOD WORKS
- Small is beautiful. They only serve small businesses. This is a hard and fast rule – and the reason their methodology works. With 100s of implementations under their belt they truly understand the specific challenges and requirements of small businesses and have packaged up Business Central into standard modules that segment BC’s core functionalities. This means their offerings are always fixed price and clients are not paying for functionality they don’t need.
- Simple is speedy. By standardising the implementation process and going fully remote, they have reduced the BC implementation timescale to weeks rather than months. Their method takes away complex decisions and makes the most of BC’s out of the box functionality, which in experience, is more than sufficient for the needs of most small businesses.
- Grow with your system. Business Central is the perfect system to grow with your business. While they advocate starting simple, many of their clients go on to add extra functionality over time as their business grows, meaning BC can support your business for years to come. Their support teams and consultants are always on hand to help guide you in expanding your system.
