Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central gives businesses complete control over core business processes, and the insight that employees need to perform at their best.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a Microsoft end-to-end business solution that is modern, unified, intelligent, and adaptable for all mid-market needs. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central gives businesses complete control over core business processes, the insight that employees need to perform at their best, and the integration with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
A significant technical strength of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the incorporation of a “Digital feedback loop” as a core concept of the system. Using this concept, the four main pillars of information (customers, employees, operations and products) act as sources of data to the system. Collected data is further analysed using Intelligence, and as a result a set of suggested actions is produced and directed towards the main pillars of information. This loop is continuously executed, resulting to the empowerment of employees, the transformation of products, and the optimization of operations.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central comes with a highly flexible development environment. This allows Fortune Technologies, a Microsoft Business Solutions Partner focusing entirely in the Maritime Sector, to create the shipping vertical for the maritime industry. This vertical solution includes a full range of modules that cover the needs of a maritime company.
Fortune modules are developed at the next-to-top layer of an architectural pyramid where Microsoft worldwide objects form the base of the solution (layer D). Country specific objects are optionally added at another layer (C) to ensure the solution meets national legal, regulatory and business practices. The third layer is the industry specific layer. And finally, there is a top “customization” layer (A), where we can add customer specific business processes to create a unique solution tailored to each individual customer’s demands. This approach enables customers to always be ahead, by taking advantage of Microsoft latest technology stack together with the maritime business logic coming from a partner dedicated to the maritime industry.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides new possibilities for customers to realize a faster time to value. It’s easier to be up and running fast – whether deployment is on premises or in the cloud. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central also drives value in other ways, with new reporting enhancements, improvements to the migration tool, partner development tools, and close interoperability with Microsoft technologies.

Fortune Maritime Architecture
Fortune Maritime Architecture is based on Dynamics 365 Business Central. Office employees can use any client (browser, mobile device app, PC, tablet, etc.) and connect to the Dynamics 365 Business Central service on the cloud. The full service is managed by Microsoft on Azure cloud, relieving the need for the company to care about hardware, maintenance, database backups, or system scaling. Vessel (on-board) clients connect to a light weight vessel database, which periodically synchronizes and exchanges data with the central database via a robust synchronization mechanism.
This architectural approach provides unparalleled deployment flexibility and takes advantage of the state-of-the art Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform mobility and wide client reach.
