Introducing SMART External File Storage — FTP Connector and On-Premises Connector: Unified Solutions for File Management in Dynamics 365 Business Central
Introducing SMART External File Storage — FTP Connector and On-Premises Connector: Unified Solutions for File Management in Dynamics 365 Business Central
In corporate IT architectures, file exchange remains one of the most critical business processes. Depending on the company’s setup, this often relies on FTP/SFTP servers as well as on-premises file systems deployed within internal infrastructure. These approaches are typical for organizations handling large volumes of transactional, operational, or regulatory data — including banks, government institutions, and large enterprises. Until recently, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central lacked native mechanisms for secure and standardized work with either FTP/SFTP servers or on-premises file storage. As a result, companies often had to develop complex custom integrations, which could increase the risk of failures, complicate technical support, and limit system scalability. To address this ch...

What Funding Sources Are Available to Polish Businesses for ERP Implementation Projects — and How to Use Them
A high-quality ERP system for modern businesses is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. It enables end-to-end data integration, automates key processes, and allows companies to operate more efficiently amid rapid digital transformation.
