Scalability

On-premises installations require today highly specialized projects to design the current hardware infrastructure to cope with the contingent business process needs and the consequent data load and its periodicity or seasonality. 

Since projects might start several months before they go live, and typically SMB companies are very flexible and adapt fast, at the moment production starts, the business conditions and the data transaction quality and quantity might have been changed. Then, the project stakeholders have to tweak and tune the infrastructure configuration by changing this at different levels: application (code changes), infrastructure (configurations), and hardware (add more resources). Scalability of resources is crucial for SMB ERP, and it requires time to implement the right strategy at the right time, and it is an ever-changing dynamic process.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central uses the full power of the Microsoft Azure cloud, and telemetry could detect all types of needs at once. Scalability and resource economy is in the nature of the SaaS-based solution.
