From SAP to Dynamics 365 at NOARK Electric

ERP Implementation Story Across Three Continents in Six Months

We present another interesting project to inspire innovation in enterprise information systems. This time, we write about a successful change in the ERP field with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.

NOARK Electric manufactures and distributes electrical installation components with global operations. Their IT story began with a decision between SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 systems, which played out across three continents during a pandemic. During the implementation of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations solution, they had to overcome numerous technical, logistical, and time challenges. How did it all go, what further recommendations are there for similar projects, and what does NOARK plan next?

Learn more about the project in a video interview, where the topic is discussed from a professional perspective by Martin Vencl (Solution Architect, Konica Minolta IT Solutions Czech) and Jan Lesný (Operations Director, NOARK Electric).
