Take a shortcut
to get started with Microsoft ERP
We assign an Abakion Go guide to you, and you have the same guide through every step of your project. Your guide is your single point of contact.
We take responsibility for your project.
Together, you and we make all big decisions together. We configure the solution together. And we show you how to do the groundwork of getting data into the solution.
We have done 95% of the work up front. We provide 150 best practice templates, so all the hard work is done up front.
Your shortcut guide will take you through a 10-step procedure. We arrange an online status meeting for every step, and we instruct you in every task. We make important decisions about the configurations together. And it’s all backed by more than 600 instructional videos to teach you about anything in the solution.
Two main reasons to choose Abakion Go
Get started easily
Abakion Go is for you, who want to get started right away – without a lengthy project with external consultants.
We provide Business Central including a template with a complete configuration of 150 master tables. This is best practice, based on decades of experience, and it covers 99 % of all business needs. The Abakion Go guide will help you configure the final 1% by yourself.
You have templates and tutorial videos available for everything – and you can reach out to our dedicated lifeline support, should you hit any roadblocks. This way, you can get started in a quick and easy manner.
Take control
Abakion Go is for you, who want to take control of your own ERP-solution.
In most ERP-projects, the external consultant becomes the expert in your new ERP-solution. So, every time you take a new initiative, you depend on external help.
If you take the responsibility for the ERP-project yourself, all the know-how remains within your company. You can take control of your own ERP-solution, because all relevant skills and knowledge remains in-house.
This way you’re not always dependent on calling a consultant.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is for you, who needs more than just basic financial management, invoicing and simple stock keeping.
SCENARIO 1:
If you are just starting your business now, you may choose one of the simple online accounting solutions. They are suitable for entrepreneurs and self-employed, and they are cheap to use.
SCENARIO 2:
When you need richer functionalities, such as purchasing, sales, warehouse management, logistics, service management, manufacturing – and you need the flexibility to shape the solution to your needs – then Business Central is suitable for you.
What kind of companies usually use the Business Central ERP-solution from Microsoft?
ERP in the cloud
= Software-as-a-Service
Abakion Go gives you Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud. It’s real cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in the Microsoft Datacenter. It’s not just a regular hosted solution.
It offers many benefits: The solution is automatically updated every month. And you can install apps from Microsoft AppSource instead of calling a developer.
When you evaluate Abakion Go against other suppliers of Business Central, make sure you get the real thing (= Software-as-a-Service in the Microsoft Datacenter).
Hand-in-hand
with the world
The Microsoft ERP-solution is prepared to integrate with the world around you.
Of course, it is connected with your Microsoft 365 and Office 365 applications, but your solution also includes an integration tool named Dynamic Data Exchange.
It enables you to configure integrations with almost any other system, like your Ecommerce-platform or suppliers’ product-feeds.
This is how it goes
(and how much it costs)
When you sign up, we assign an Abakion Go guide to you. It could be Marc on this picture. He is the head of the team. Or it could be one of his great team members. And you will have the same contact person all through the process.
The getting started process is 10 steps – which is 10 online-sessions with your personal guide.
During each session, your personal guide will:
- Explain the current step
- Advice you on decisions you must make about configurations
- Complete tasks while you are watching on Teams
- Explain your homework for the next session
All your tasks are explained thoroughly in writing – and everything is backed up by 600 tutorial videos to make sure you have all the support you need.
Access to the solution
You have the first online session with your personal guide who walks you through the basics and establishes your access to the solution. And you will hear about your homework for the next session.
This first step is only $100. You can experience the Abakion Go concept and see if it is right for you. If it’s not, you’re only down $100.
Configuration
If you choose to proceed to the next step, we will prepare your solution with all templates. Step 2 through 10 will prepare you to go live with the solution.
This has a fee of $991. But there is still no subscription fee, while we are working on the configurations together.
Go live
With all 10 steps done, you are ready to go live. After 30 days Microsoft requires a subscription fee. The subscription is $123 per user per month. Maybe you are long done with the configurations at this point – maybe you want to spend a little more time on getting all details right – that’s entirely up to you.
These are the topics of the 10 online sessions we will guide you through:
The 10 online sessions
- Getting access to the solution
- Basic functionality and the Best Practice Company Setup
- Configuration of basic data
- Configuration of locations and warehouses
- Configuration of extended features
- Import of master data
- Creation of integrations
- Customization of documents
- Creation of opening balances
- Creation of users and go-live

Utilize our Best Practice
“Best Practice” means that we have done most of the configuration in advance. You do not have to pay for everything we have already done before.
Our best practice package automatically add configurations to more than 150 tables and you can choose from 6 standard Chart of Accounts ready to use. It saves a lot of work. Spend your money on something else that creates value for your business.
If you sign up for a plain (empty) Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central somewhere else, you have a lot of configuration work ahead of you.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find out whether the solution has all the features I need?
There are two aspects to this question. First, you must be sure that the ERP solution from Microsoft has the features you need. It probably does, because it’s one of the premier solutions in the world, but if you do not already know the solution, you can see general videos on this page and read about features at the bottom of this page. If you want to be very thorough, it is also possible to have a trial version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central issued so that you can try out the solution in detail.
Secondly, you must also satisfy yourself that Abakion Go includes all the setup you need. Abakion Go is a best practice package put together over decades, so we have great confidence in the quality of the content. If you sign up for the first step, we will walk you through the entire content and all your tasks. Everything is available to you. You can evaluate the process and ask us any question you like. There’ll be no surprises along the way.
What does the Abakion Go subscription include?
When you take out an Abakion Go subscription, it includes a subscription to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and four apps from AppSource: Master Data Information, Document Customizer, Document Handling and Dynamic Data Exchange. These subscriptions are priced as a combined bundle, so you get a discount as compared with subscribing to them individually.
How experienced do I need to be to complete Abakion Go unaided?
You don’t need in-depth experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to complete Abakion Go. We will help you in every step, and there are videos to guide you through it all, so it is accessible to a great many people.
The main thing is that you have a bit of experience both with ERP and with your company. If you have previously worked with ERP at superuser level, that will stand you in good stead. But you also need an understanding of the processes of your company so that you can make decisions about the data to be input to the ERP system. A foot in both worlds will stand you in good stead.
What do I do if I get stuck halfway and can’t complete the project?
You have a guide assigned from our team to make sure that you will not get stuck. We want you to succeed, and there will be plenty of help – both in-person and instructional videos.
There are often videos describing how you can move forward in the process, and we will be very happy to guide you towards the right videos for you to watch.
The in-person support guides you through the implementation process. It will help you moving forward in the Abakion Go process, and it is valid all the way until you go live.
If you during the first 30 days in the process feel that it’s not right for you after all, you can decide not to subscribe to the solution at all. The subscription does not kick in before you go live or 30 days has passed, whichever comes first. So you have plenty of time to change your mind.
How do I cancel the subscription – or parts of it?
An Abakion Go subscription can only be taken out or cancelled as a package. For example, if there’s one of the four apps that you don’t use, you cannot save money by cancelling that one app. You can cancel Abakion Go altogether and re-subscribe to the individual parts, but that is not cheaper, as Abakion Go provides a volume discount.
You can easily cancel the subscription by contacting Abakion. You can cancel by giving one month’s notice before the cut-off day of the month, which is determined by the date on which you originally purchased the solution.
Will I be tied in to Abakion if I choose Abakion Go?
No, you won’t be tied in. We give you a volume discount if all your subscriptions are with us, and of course you will miss out on that if you want to cancel parts of the subscription, but you are not tied in.
You can by all means have another ERP supplier to support your use of Dynamics 365 Business Central. The solution is hosted with Microsoft, so it is actually quite simple and easy to change supplier. The subscription to the apps will then continue at the current price on Microsoft AppSource. You can also opt to stop the subscription to some or all of these apps should you so wish.
Can I change my mind and get a refund?
yes, we’d much rather have happy, satisfied customers, so, if you change your mind about your purchase, in principle we will be happy to give a refund.
However, there is an important cut-off point, you need to bear this in mind: At the end of step 1 in Abakion Go, if you choose to request access to the solution including our best practice configuration and proceed to step 2, you set our people to work, and we then supply a configuration and associated apps. At his point there is no going back as far as the start-up price.
That aside, you can of course cancel whenever you like.
Also, the subscription does not begin before you go live or 30 days has passed, whichever comes first. So you have plenty of time to change your mind.
How does the 30-day free subscription work?
Completing Abakion Go naturally requires access to Dynamics 365 Business Central. But we also know that it takes a little time for you to be ready to go live with all users. It would therefore be no fun having to pay full price from day one.
You have free access to Business Central for one user for 30 days, including all apps and setup. So, you have 30 days to complete Abakion Go before the paid subscription begins.
If you take less than 30 days to complete Abakion Go, the paid subscription will start when you opt to go live with the solution.
