BC Foundation vs. Standard: What’s Different?
A Streamlined Approach to Business Central Implementation
Your business needs, complexity, and internal resources help determine the right approach to implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central. Stoneridge offers two implementation approaches to meet those different needs. Foundation is the more streamlined option, leveraging the same Stoneridge expertise, delivery discipline, and commitment to client success as our Standard implementations, while simplifying key parts of the process for organizations that fit a fixed-scope, basic-functionality approach.
Foundation Implementation
- Standardized best-practice configuration
- Guided onboarding and implementation
- Faster deployment
- Greater client ownership
- Standard requirements
Standard Implementation
- Tailored solution design
- Collaborative discovery and design
- Greater flexibility
- Higher level of Stoneridge involvement
- Complex requirements
The Foundation Advantage
What the streamlined approach means for you.
Faster to Value
A guided questionnaire and Stoneridge-led configuration replace multiple joint workshops, and skipping the mock cutover compresses the path from Define to Go-Live.
Lower, Fixed Cost
A leaner delivery model with fewer sessions, a Project Coordinator, and Copilot-assisted data migration is delivered at a predictable, fixed price.
Owned by Your Team
Train-the-Trainer sessions and client-led UAT, backed by Stoneridge support and reusable resources, keep expertise inside your organization.

FAQs
How do I know if Standard or Foundation is right for my business?
We’ll work with you during the sales process to understand your operations, goals, and system needs. Whether you start with core financials or need distribution and manufacturing capabilities, we’ll help you choose the right entry point and plan for future growth.
What’s included in the Hypercare phase after go-live?
Hypercare is part of your package and covers the critical early weeks after go-live. We provide direct support to help your team adjust, answer questions, resolve issues quickly, and ensure everything is working smoothly. It’s our way of making sure you're not left on your own the moment the system goes live.
What happens if I need more features later?
The Foundation approach is built to get you up and running quickly — but can be just the beginning. As the name "Foundation" conveys, this is designed to be built upon. You can add features, integrations, or move into more advanced functionality at any time. We also offer a la carte options and ongoing support to grow with you.
Do you help with data migration from our old system?
Yes. As part of your package, we’ll bring over your master records (accounts, vendors, customers, items), open transactions, and recent GL history. For clients with more complex historical needs, we offer additional options to retain and access data through Azure Data Lake or custom tables in Business Central.
What deployment options are available for Business Central?
Microsoft 365 Business Central can be deployed on-premises, on a private Azure cloud, or on Microsoft’s public cloud. In most cases, we recommend Microsoft’s public cloud, and that is the only option supported with the Foundation approach.
What's the difference between Business Central and Dynamics 365?
Dynamics 365 is an integrated suite of business applications that can be used to build customized ERP and CRM solutions for businesses of all sizes. Business Central is one application within the Dynamics 365 family, much like Word is an application within the Microsoft 365 Office suite. If you run a small or medium-sized business, it’s not a question of Business Central vs. Dynamics 365—it’s Dynamics 365 and Business Central together to streamline your operations.
Why is Business Central good for a small business?
As an all-inclusive business management system, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses. Because it’s cloud-based, Business Central enables small businesses to take advantage of sophisticated business management tools without needing to invest in extensive IT infrastructure. Per-user licensing allows a Business Central ERP and/or CRM system to easily grow as your business grows.
Why choose Stoneridge for our Business Central implementation?
We’re not just a software implementer — we’re a business partner. With deep experience in ERP transitions and a proven implementation process, we make your move to the cloud easier, faster, and more successful. Plus, our training, support, and long-term guidance set us apart.
