Are you ready to apply Make sure you understand all the responsibilities and tasks associated with this role before proceeding.

Location

London & Kings Langley | 3 days in office and 2 days hybrid; travel to group sites around cutovers

Purpose

Architect a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform for a multi-entity UK group and lead the technical side of the deployment through build, testing and into production. The work runs on two tracks: refine the live BC environment of the entity already on the platform, and design the new build for the businesses still on legacy Dynamics NAV, including the migration strategy that gets them there.

Context

Centry Services Group comprises four trading businesses in moving, relocation and related services, plus an overseas shared service centre running finance processing on the legacy estate. The largest business runs a heavily customised on-premises NAV 2009 R2 system across finance and operations; one entity's financials are already live on Business Central SaaS in its own tenant, with an Azure Data Factory and Power BI estate around it.

The programme consolidates the group onto one BC platform in two phases. Phase one delivers the group chart of accounts, the financial ledgers across the entities and consolidated group reporting in Power BI, targeted at three months subject to validation during mobilisation and discovery. Phase two covers the operational scope (job costing and billing, the integrations to the operational systems that feed the ledgers, and the remaining migrations off the legacy estate) over a further three to six months depending on design and complexity. BC SaaS is the preferred target; validating the final tenant and environment architecture is part of mobilisation. Entity user counts and the integration inventory are being compiled and will be shared with shortlisted candidates. xwwtmva
